Introducing: all on 4/all on 6 technique at Samir Dental Care and Implant Center

Dentures can be a good solution for patients who have multiple, adjacent or nearly adjacent missing teeth. They are fashioned to give the appearence of a natural set of teeth and are designed to match the shading and appearence of your natural teeth.

There are several different types of denture options available, depending on the patient's circumstances. These include complete, removable dentures, implant-supported dentures, partial dentures and overdentures,When the patient has lost most or all of their teeth, complete dentures can be an appropriate solution. If there are any remaining teeth, these will be removed, and the patient is fitted for the dentures. Molds of the gums are taken so as to customize the dentures for the patient. The dentures are manufactured at a lab, and care is taken to match them with the appearence of the patient's remaining teeth.

Patients do need some time to become accustomed to their dentures and to be able to eat and speak comfortably. Initially, there will be some degree of swelling, pain and tenderness of the gums until the gums become acclimated to the dentures. This swelling should go away after a few days. Chewing and speaking will be difficult and awkward at first, but once the patients becomes accustomed to the dentures, they should be able to speak and chew food normally.

Dentures are a long-term solution, but they are not permanent. Often, the gums, recede and the dentures begin to fit loosely. This can sometimes be addressed with re-lining the dentures, but it may also require that a new set of dentures needs to be fitted. Dentures also break or become worn with use and need to be replaced. With proper care, most dentures should last 5-10 years.

Dentures-Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I have my dentures?
Dentures typically last anywhere from 5-10 years. Even though your teeth are gone, your mouth and gums will continue to change shape for the rest of your life. Because dentures are artificial, obviously, they will not change with the shape of your mouth, and you will them replaced or adjusted. Also, make sure you see your regular dentist annually at least, so as to avoid any major problems you cannot identify yourself.

How much do dentures cost?
Fortunately, dentures have become so main stream that it's very possible to find a reasonable price for them. Check with your dentist first. He or she knows you and your mouth best. If your dentists' quote is too high for you, there are several reliable denture chains who may be able to offer you a lower price.

Will dentures make me look different?
Today, the technology behind prosthodontics has become so advanced that you probably will barely notice a difference in your appearance. Each set of dentures is personalized to your gums, lips, tongue...your whole mouth. Additionally, before you're given your permanent dentures, molds are made in wax for you to try them on and see how they look. The only difference in appearance you might have is the absence of decaying teeth, and the appearance of a healthy, beautiful looking smile.

Will dentures affect the way I speak?
Getting dentures for the first time is an adjustment, to say the least. There are many things you're going to have to practice a little to truly master - and speaking is one. Don't worry - it's not like relearning how to speak completely. You may experience some lisping at first, but it shouldn't take long to re-teach your tongue and lips where they go to regain you original speech patterns.

Will dentures affect the way I eat?
Again, it's all an adjustment. Yes, you may have some difficulty at first, but you've spent a lifetime learning a particular way of eating. Now, you'll just need to tweak it a little. Because your natural teeth are rooted deep in your mouth, you tear your food away from its source. Picture biting into a piece of fruit. Normally, you would tear the piece you want to eat right away from the rest of the fruit. With dentures, you will learn how to bite into the food, and not pull your head away until it is already in your mouth. A small adjustment, but it will take some practice.

How do I clean my dentures?
Like teeth, a dentist will recommend brushing your dentures after every meal. Obviously, this is not always a practical option. But you should clean your dentures as soon after you eat as possible. Take the dentures out and hold with your thumb and forefinger. Make sure wherever you're cleaning them, it's never over a hard surface. Put a towel down on the vanity, or make sure the sink is full of water. If you drop them, they won't break. Get a good denture brush and denture cleaner, both available in every day drugstores and brush thoroughly, as you would if the teeth were in your mouth. Avoid using bleaching agents, as they will discolor the pink acrylic for the gum line.

Should my dentures come out at night?
Probably. But check with your dentist. If your dentures are not in your mouth, there is usually extra care you should be taking with them - and you want to make sure you fully understand what that care is. You've spent too much on your dentures to not double check with your dentist.
