Restoring Your Smile with Comfort and Care
At Friendly Smiles Dental, we understand the importance of dentures in transforming smiles and enhancing your oral comfort. Dentures are artificial replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues, available in various materials such as acrylic or metal. While they may take some time to get used to, contemporary denture designs offer a striking resemblance to natural teeth and improved comfort.
Types of Dentures
We offer two main types of dentures: partial and complete dentures. Our experienced Dentists will provide tailored advice based on your unique dental situation and budget. Complete dentures are recommended when an entire set of teeth is missing.
The Art of Craftsmanship
Each denture at Friendly Smiles Dental is meticulously crafted in our dental laboratory, customized to fit your mouth perfectly. The process involves taking impressions from your mouth to ensure a precise fit. While the development may take several weeks, our team will guide you through each step during multiple appointments.
How Dentures Function
Partial dentures feature a fixed bridge to replace one or more missing teeth, preventing changes in tooth position and filling gaps. Complete dentures, on the other hand, are made with flesh-toned acrylic material. The lower denture has a horseshoe-shaped base to accommodate the tongue, while the upper denture covers the palate.
Adjusting to Your New Smile
It's common for new dentures to feel unusual and uncomfortable during the initial weeks to months. However, your tongue and cheek muscles will adapt to keep them securely in place. While eating and speaking may be challenging initially, any sensations of bulkiness or looseness will diminish over time. If you experience excessive irritation, we recommend visiting our dentist for guidance.
Longevity and Maintenance
Dentures, like natural teeth, require regular maintenance due to wear and changes in the mouth over time. We recommend annual visits to our clinic for assessments and potential adjustments. This ensures your dentures fit comfortably and function effectively.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential for the longevity of your dentures. Daily brushing helps remove food deposits and plaque. Remember the rule: brush, soak, then brush again. Avoid aggressive brushing to prevent grooves on the denture surface. Soaking in hot water can warp dentures, so we advise using a cleanser soaking solution or plain water.
Effervescent cleaners effectively remove stains, and it's crucial not to let dentures dry out. After removing dentures, use a soft-bristle toothbrush to clean your mouth.
