There’s a preconception about dentures that they are obvious, uncomfortable, and noticeable. While that may have been true of the dentures of yesteryear, these days, modern dentures can look and feel far more natural.
Dentures
Dentures are a solution available for all ages and stages of life. Dental Dentures are not just a realm for the elderly. Whether you’ve lost some teeth in an accident, from age, wear and tear, or decay, your missing teeth may be inconspicuously replaced with a high quality denture from a reputable and experienced practitioner.
Whether you need partial or full dentures, your trusted dental practitioner will assess your smile and discuss all your options with you. Your practitioner will make recommendations based on your lifestyle, the number of teeth you’re missing, and your budget, among other factors.
At Dental Fresh, your practitioner will take careful measurements and collect photos and data about your teeth. Your new denture should look like natural and healthy teeth. If you’re wearing a partial denture, the teeth will be crafted to match your remaining teeth in colour, shape, and size. Our technicians use an arsenal of strategies to ensure there is life and light in your new smile. If you require full dentures, it will be important for your practitioner to optimise the fit and function of your denture, as well as to create a new and realistic looking smile for you.
Something you should know about dentures
- They require regular attention: With good care, dentures should last for years. Just like your natural teeth, dentures require care and maintenance to stay looking good and functioning well. Over time, they will need to be adjusted for comfort or fit, but if you care for your dentures well and see your practitioner regularly to care for your general oral health, dentures can be a long term solution to a functioning, attractive smile.
- They need to be removed: To maintain the health of your gums, reduce the chances of bad breath and assist with the cleanliness of your dentures, you will need to remove them when not in use. There are some excellent products on the market that will help keep them in good condition.
- Wearing dentures takes practice: Eating, smiling, laughing, and talking are a renewed privilege for denture wearers, but it does take time to become accustomed to having something in your mouth. You may find it takes time to navigate speech and chewing with your dentures in place. In the early stages, you may find you have some sore spots or that you require a fit adjustment. This is all part of the normal process of navigating the best fit for function for you. Your practitioner is there to make the necessary adjustments and modifications and to help you find your feet with your new dentures.
- Quality varies: Do your research. Don’t be tempted to look for the least expensive option first, it won’t be the cheapest option in the long run. Your dentures are an investment in your self esteem and your quality of life. Choose a practitioner whose work you have seen; if they’re good at what they do, they might be hard to find! Ask to see photos or ask to speak to patients about the practice. You’re looking for someone who won’t cut corners to get you smiling again.
