The Facts About Dentures
Replacement teeth create a more youthful, vibrant appearance by holding up facial muscles and providing a foundation for speaking, chewing, swallowing and smiling! Whether you are missing some or all of your natural teeth, many benefits may be gained from full or partial dentures.
How Long Does It Take To Get Used to Replacement Teeth?
Adapting to new teeth varies from person to person. Those who choose to undergo full extractions and have dentures placed in the mouth immediately are asked to keep the dentures in place until the postoperative appointment. During the first phase of treatment, dentures should be kept in the mouth most of the time, especially during the healing process, because they act as a “bandage”, giving support to oral tissues.
After the initial healing process, your dentures should be removed every evening when retiring. Your appliance should be soaked in a denture cleansing solution or cool water to avoid allowing the material to shrink or distort.
What About Overdentures and Dental Implants Instead of Dentures?
Dentures have traditionally been considered a dependable option to replace natural teeth, however some issues can develop with their use. The biggest challenge with dentures is that they rest on your existing teeth and gums for stability. This can promote bone loss, tooth decay and even periodontal (gum) disease.
There have however been significant advances in the use of dentures, including a procedure known as Overdentures. Overdentures or ALL-ON-4 Dental Implants are traditional dentures held in place using Dental Implant technology. The titanium posts used in implants are used to safely and permanently secure your dentures in place. You can achieve full-arch rehabilitation with only four implants! Patients experience a rapid improvement in their quality of life in terms of function, feel, aesthetics, chewing and digestion, self-esteem and confidence.
