At Asquith Dentists, we understand that a confident smile can transform your life. If you’ve been struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dental issues, dentures might be the perfect solution to help you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process, and will ensure that you leave our clinic with a radiant smile and renewed confidence. Let’s explore what getting dentures entails and why this investment in your oral health and self-esteem is well worth it.
Why Consider Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to decay, injury, or age, they can offer several benefits:
- Enhanced Confidence: A full set of teeth improves your appearance and boosts self-esteem. No more hiding your smile, because dentures give you the freedom to smile with confidence.
- Improved Functionality: Dentures restore your ability to chew and speak properly, which can be significantly affected by missing teeth.
- Support for Facial Structure: Dentures help maintain the shape of your face by supporting your lips and cheeks, and this prevents the sunken look that often accompanies tooth loss.
The Denture Process: What to Expect
Getting dentures is a thoughtful and systematic process, so here’s a detailed look at each step:
1. Initial Consultation and Examination
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Asquith Dentists. We’ll assess your oral health through a detailed examination, which may include X-rays to evaluate the bone structure and identify any underlying issues. This step is crucial in determining the best type of dentures for your needs—whether they’re partial, full, or implant-supported dentures.
2. Treatment Planning
Based on your examination results, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan includes discussing your options, setting expectations, and outlining the timeline. Then, if tooth extractions are necessary, we’ll schedule them before proceeding with fitting.
3. Tooth Extraction
If your natural teeth are beyond repair or need to be removed for a better fit, we’ll perform tooth extractions. Rest assured, we’ll ensure that this procedure is as comfortable as possible, using local anesthesia and providing post-extraction care instructions to promote healing.
4. Impression Taking
Once any extractions have healed, we’ll take precise impressions of your mouth. These impressions are used to create custom dentures so that they fit perfectly and comfortably. We’ll use advanced techniques and materials to ensure your dentures look natural and feel great.
5. Denture Fitting
With your impressions, we’ll craft your dentures. When they’re ready, you’ll come in for a fitting appointment. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure they fit comfortably and securely, because this is an important step to avoid any issues with eating or speaking.
6. Follow-Up Care
After you receive your dentures, follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor your adaptation and make any needed adjustments. Our team will provide guidance on how to care for your dentures and maintain oral hygiene. Regular check-ups will ensure your dentures continue to fit well and remain in good condition.
