Missing teeth are not just a cosmetic problem; they can also lead to functional issues, such as difficulty chewing. There is a tendency for the adjacent and opposite teeth to shift into the empty spaces created by tooth loss. It is therefore important to replace the missing tooth on time to avoid these complications in the future.
Complete Dentures are the removable prostheses that are not fixed into your jawbone. They are designed to rest on the jawbone, allowing you to function properly with them.
The removable dentures can be complete or partial, depending on your requirements.
You do not have to wear the removable dentures for a complete 24 hours.
You are suggested to remove them at night and store them as directed. It is important to allow the underlying soft tissues to rest to avoid inflammation or ulceration. The dentures are totally comfortable and easy to use.
The process for getting complete dentures starts with a consultation with our experts.
Our team will evaluate your current dental condition through both clinical and radiological assessments.
During the clinical examination, the remaining natural teeth, if any, will be assessed. It is important to determine whether these teeth are salvageable or require extraction. Radiological analysis is important for understanding the condition of the jawbone.
In a few cases, the jawbone is insufficient to support the removable prosthesis due to loss of width, height, or volume.
Based on the clinical and radiological assessment, a customized treatment plan is made. The actual process of denture fabrication begins with impression making.
Dental impressions are taken for both upper and lower arches to produce study models. These study models are used to arrange the artificial teeth and fabricate trial dentures.
Trial removable dentures are used to assess denture speech and fit.
Once we are satisfied with the trial denture, a permanent denture is fabricated in the dental lab, and you will receive it with aftercare instructions at the next appointment. It is recommended that you attend follow-up visits with a team to monitor treatment progress and help you adjust to the removable dentures.
No, it is not suggested to wear your complete dentures throughout the day. It is recommended to give the underlying soft tissues rest at night. It is also recommended to store the dentures as our team suggests to avoid accidental damage to the prosthesis.
Dentures improve your overall appearance. It's not just about the teeth; facial aesthetics also contribute to an overall youthful appearance. With missing teeth, the jawbone begins to lose volume and density, leading to a sunken appearance. With dentures, we can restore a more youthful, aesthetic facial profile.
It may be challenging during the first few days to chew properly with your dentures; however, with practice and patience, life becomes easier, and you can enjoy your regular diet. There are no restrictions as such, but it is best to avoid very hard foods, especially during the first few days. You must start with a soft diet during the initial phase and gradually shift to your regular diet.
