Dentures are an effective solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. At Smile Studio of Harleysville, our skilled dentists and team specialize in providing custom-made dentures that restore function and aesthetics, helping you smile with confidence again.
Types of Dentures:
- Complete Dentures: These are used when all teeth are missing. They can be either “conventional,” made after the gums have healed, or “immediate,” placed right after teeth removal.
- Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which may have metal clasps to hold them in place.
Benefits of Dentures:
- Improved Appearance: Dentures can restore the natural look of your smile, improving your overall facial structure.
- Enhanced Functionality: They enable you to eat and speak more comfortably and effectively.
- Support for Facial Muscles: Dentures provide necessary support to facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur after tooth loss.
The Process:
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Priyang Chaudhari or Dr. Sumit Moradia will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best denture options for you.
- Impressions and Measurements: Precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken to ensure a perfect fit.
- Try-Ins: Before the final dentures are made, you will try a prototype to ensure comfort and proper fit.
- Final Placement: The final dentures are placed, and any necessary adjustments are made to ensure optimal comfort.
Aftercare:
- Cleaning and Maintenance: Dentures should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner to maintain hygiene.
- Regular Checkups: It is important to schedule regular appointments at our office to monitor the fit and condition of your dentures.
