41 million Americans wear dentures to help them eat, speak and smile with confidence every day.
At your consultation, your dentist will determine if dentures are right for you. Your dentist will examine your mouth, take x-rays and decide if the tissues are healthy enough to support dentures.
After you’ve been approved for treatment, your Allen dentist will create a plan for your dentures and go over it with you so you know exactly what to expect. From there, our team will schedule your impressions and tooth extraction appointments.
Next, your dentist will take impressions to ensure that your dentures will fit snugly and comfortably in your mouth once they are ready to be worn.
During the extraction process, your dentist will numb your mouth with anesthetic and/or use sedation to ensure a comfortable, painless procedure. Temporary dentures may also be provided after the extraction.
After the extraction procedure, make sure to get plenty of rest for at least 24 hours. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions so that you can remain comfortable and pain free while you heal. While your prosthetic is being made, you will discuss with your dentist the shade, size and shape of teeth that you want for your new set of dentures.
When your dentures are complete, you will return to the office to begin the fitting process. Adjustments can be made to ensure your dentures are as comfortable and functional as possible. Plan on returning to the office for yearly checkups on your dentures, but know that a set of dentures can last for several years if you take good care of them.
A partial denture helps restore the form and function of your jaw by replacing one or several missing teeth. This removable, natural looking dental appliance is made from false teeth attached to thermoplastic resin, acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal framework, which makes it sturdy enough to handle years of chewing and speaking. Keep in mind that our team is always here to assist you in selecting the right partial denture for your unique needs.
Full dentures are a replacement option when one has lost all or most of their natural teeth. These removable dental appliances are made out of acrylic and help restore form and function. Full dentures can help fill out your appearance, leaving you ready to smile with confidence again.
Implant supported dentures are an option for patients looking to replace a full set of teeth. This appliance functions more like natural teeth than conventional dentures and is secured to the jaw with a series of sturdy implants.
About 40 million Americans have lost all their teeth.
If you are interested in dentures as an option to replace your missing teeth, the first step is to get a consultation from your dentist in Allen. They’ll be able to examine your mouth and determine the state of your oral health and determine whether dentures are right for you. They can also help guide you on alternative treatments if there’s a better option available to you.
Your dentist will make an impression of your oral cavity, then send it to a laboratory to construct an acrylic model of your teeth. Once the dentures are made and received, your dentist will place them in your mouth and make adjustments so they fit properly and comfortably.
Not only can dentures restore your smile, they can make your appearance more youthful as well.
