Dentures at Dental Wires Dental Clinic: Restoring Your Smile
Dentures, often referred to as “false teeth,” are essential dental prosthetics typically crafted from acrylic or porcelain. They serve as replacements for teeth lost due to a range of factors, including injury, periodontal disease, or tooth decay. According to the American Dental Association, dentures offer more than just aesthetic benefits; they also prevent sagging of facial muscles, improve your ability to eat and speak, and play a crucial role in preserving the bone structure in your face.
At Dental Wires Dental Clinic, we understand the significance of dentures in enhancing your overall well-being. We offer various types of dentures tailored to your specific needs. The choice of denture depends on the number of missing teeth, your overall dental health, and your budget. Our experienced team is here to guide you through the process and help you make the right choice.
Complete Dentures: Restoring Full Smiles
Complete dentures are meticulously designed to replace all of your upper teeth. These dentures rest directly on the gums, closely fitting over the bone to facilitate comfortable chewing and clear speech. The creation of complete dentures occurs after your mouth is fully healed, typically requiring four to five appointments to ensure a precise fit that matches the shape and size of your mouth. These dentures are constructed using an acrylic base and teeth made from porcelain or acrylic materials.
Immediate Dentures: A Bridge to Recovery
Immediate dentures are a valuable solution immediately following tooth extraction. They serve as temporary replacements for missing teeth, allowing you to eat and speak during the initial healing period. However, they may require adjustments, such as relining or rebasing, as the gums and bones undergo significant changes in the first six months following extractions. Once the healing process is complete, typically after about eight weeks, immediate dentures are replaced with complete dentures tailored to fit your transformed oral anatomy.
