FAQ
What are dentures?
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. They can be complete (or full) dentures, replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or partial dentures, replacing only a few missing teeth. Made from acrylic resin, metal or a combination of both, dentures mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits to help you eat, speak and smile with confidence.
When are dentures recommended?
Dentures are recommended when multiple teeth are missing or need to be extracted due to severe decay, gum disease or injury. They are suitable for patients who have lost teeth over time or have significant tooth loss impacting their ability to chew or speak properly. Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether full or partial dentures are the best solution for your specific needs.
What are the benefits of dentures?
Dentures offer several benefits, including restoring the ability to chew and speak effectively, improving facial aesthetics and boosting self-confidence. They support the facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss. Additionally, dentures can be easily removed for cleaning, making them a convenient and hygienic option for many patients. Modern dentures are designed to be comfortable and natural-looking, enhancing your overall quality of life.
How long does it take to get dentures?
The process of getting dentures typically takes several weeks and involves multiple appointments. Initially, our dentist will take impressions of your mouth and measurements to create a custom fit. After this, you may have a few fitting appointments to ensure comfort and proper alignment. The entire process, from initial consultation to receiving your final dentures, can take anywhere from three to six weeks, depending on your specific dental needs.
