Frequently Asked Questions
Getting dentures is not an easy task and you need to make sure that you’re going to a professional for your dental care. Get an appointment with a prosthodontist as they have specialized training in the replacement of teeth including the placement of dentures for all different kinds of cases. They will be able to guide you better about what kind of denture is the best option for you and if there are any other treatments available for you.
Yes, there are different types of dentures in different cases. Mainly they’re divided between complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are placed once all the teeth are removed and these have two types; immediate dentures and complete full dentures. Immediate dentures are placed when before the gums are healed after teeth removal and complete full dentures are placed when the gums are healed after teeth removal. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are added to replace a few missing teeth only.
Getting dentures is a cost-effective alternative than many other options available. However, the cost mainly depends on the severity of the case. The more difficult your case is, the higher the costs are going to be. So, don’t be going to get dentures thinking that it might be easy on the pockets. Get suggestions from your prosthodontist and see if you’re able to manage the costs or not.
Cleaning the dentures is not a difficult process, but you are expected to be regular at it. All you have to make sure is to keep in mind to take your dentures out regularly and soak them in a denture solution. This helps in cleaning them and ensuring that you will be able to use them for a long time.
Initially, when you start eating with dentures on, it will feel a bit different and you might take some time to get comfortable with having dentures on. But over time, you will be able to eat and drink things like normally would, with your teeth. All you need is a little time to get used to and you will be good to go.
Pain or discomfort while getting dentures depends on different factors. If you had your teeth removed to give way to a complete denture, then you’re sure to find yourself in pain for a while from where the teeth were removed, but over time this pain fades. In other cases, there’s only mild discomfort which eventually vanishes after continuous usage.
When you lose a tooth, you also lose the support and stability of the tooth’s root. Dental Implants are artificial metal roots that are inserted into your jawbone to support your dentures. Dental Implants provide the closest alternative to natural teeth.
Dental implants have several advantages over traditional dentures. First and foremost, dental implants increase the stability of your dentures. The implant acts as an anchor for your dentures which prevents them from slipping or falling out. Studies have also shown that dental implants preserve your jaw bone and reduce gum tissue loss — keeping your facial structure intact. Implants also allow you to eat more of the foods you want.
Dental implants are a good solution for people of all ages. The answer to this question greatly varies from person to person and usually depends on the number of teeth lost and the condition of the remaining teeth. If you’ve experienced some bone loss while using traditional dentures, you may want to consider implants because they can help slow the process of bone resorption.
The cost of denture implants varies from person to person. It largely depends on the condition of your remaining teeth and the number of teeth that need to be supported. In the long run, dental implants tend to be less expensive than traditional dentures, due to the increased stability and reliability of your teeth — leading to a lower risk of damage and accidents.
Again, the process is a little different for each patient. We’ll outline the exact process for you during your consultation but there are a few key points that are consistent for everyone. When you’re ready for your dental implants, your dental surgeon will surgically place the artificial metal roots into your jawbone. The healing process can take several weeks or months, depending on the extent of your surgery. Once your gums and jaw have healed, we can create your custom fitted dentures.
