There are approximately 4 million Canadians wearing dentures. Ordinary dentures leave little room for customization. Men and women, old and young, get basically the same look. The result is a perfect row of identical teeth, which causes many dentures to look false.
Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth. A denture consists of a plate or frame holding one or more artificial teeth in place. Dentures can take some getting used to, and while they may never feel exactly the same as your original teeth, they can look natural and are now more comfortable than ever. At Paramount Dental, our dentures Dao Diep will advise you of all treatment options available based on your unique case.
Full Dentures are the most common denture appliances made. After the affected teeth are removed, a full denture can be crafted to fit either the upper arch, the lower arch or both. The upper denture has a pink denture base that extends across the roof of the mouth to create suction and help keep the denture in place. The lower denture is u-shaped and is designed to fit snugly along the bottom ridge of the jaw.
Our Dentures will take every step to ensure that your dentures look as natural as possible. Innovations in replacement tooth design have come a long way in making dentures look incredibly natural.
When it comes time to fit your full denture, it will all depend on the type of dentures you have chosen and your specific needs. The following is a basic outline of the denture creation process.
Generally, you can expect the creation and fitting of your dentures to take place over several office visits. While your dentures are being made, there are immediate, temporary denture solutions to ensure that you are not missing teeth during the process. An immediate denture can be used as a temporary measure while your gums and mouth heal.
If you have one or more of your own natural teeth remaining, then a removable partial denture can be considered. A partial denture replacement is made up of a gum-colored plastic base connected to a metal framework. This framework clips onto the remaining natural teeth to hold the denture in place in the mouth.
In some cases, a fixed bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, can also be considered as a treatment option when adjacent natural teeth are there to support the bridge. A dental “bridge” is considered permanent because it is cemented into place and is not removable. The advantage of the fixed partial denture is that it stays securely in place.
Have you lost most of your natural teeth? Then overdentures are a potential natural looking replacement that have health and aesthetic advantages compared to traditional dentures.
If you have found traditional dentures impractical or have felt, they have interfered with eating or speech. We offer Overdentures which are often called Implant Supported Dentures as an option to replace traditional dentures. These implants supported dentures are often called Snap-On/Snap-In dentures that attach directly to surgical implants that are attached directly to your jaw bone. The implants allow the removable overdentures to snap right onto them forming a stable set of false teeth.
At Paramount Dental, we know that there is no one single solution that is ideal for every smile. That is why we encourage you to book a consultation appointment with Dao Diep to discuss all your options! She will address all your denture questions and work with you to find the best solution that meets your specific needs.
