DENTURE
For people who are missing teeth, or those who need to have their teeth extracted for whatever reason, a new set of dentures can be a life-changing experience. There are two types of dentures available: full dentures and partial sets. At Forever Smiles, we are pleased to provide our patients with both full and partial dentures. Important Information about Dentures Partial dentures are made of artificial teeth connected to a frame that is held in place by existing natural teeth. Full dentures are comprised of a full set of teeth that are attached to a top and bottom plate. Modern day dentures are typically much more comfortable than dentures were years ago. Still, a proper fit is absolutely essential in order to avoid dentures moving inside the mouth, making talking and chewing food difficult. Our dental professionals at Forever Smiles have many years of experience in fitting patients with dentures that are comfortable, fit snugly, and last for many, many years. The Procedure Involved in New Dentures Dentures are designed for people who are already missing several teeth, or those that need to have their teeth extracted. If you fall into the latter group, the process of getting a new set of dentures begins with having an impression made of your existing teeth. This impression will be used to create your custom made set of dentures. Next, your dentist will extract your remaining teeth a few at a time, allowing your gums time to heal between visits. Once your teeth are extracted and your gums are healed, you’ll be fitted with your new dentures. Your dentist will take the time necessary to ensure that your bite is aligned and that your new dentures fit as snugly and as comfortably as possible.
