Dentures are the most preferred oral prosthetics by patients who have lost a significant number of teeth. They are made from a combination of ceramic and acrylic, which replicate the appearance of the teeth and gum tissues, respectively. Since dentures are removable restorations, they can be worn and taken off as and when you wish, such as while going to bed, cleaning the mouth or the dentures, etc.
When you visit our dental practice, our team of experts will thoroughly examine your mouth and determine how best to treat your condition. X-rays and oral scans will be taken to get a better understanding of your teeth and underlying jawbone. If we have to remove any existing teeth, our team will extract them after administering local anesthesia. We will take precise scans of the mouth to create 3D digital impressions, which will be used as a reference in a dental laboratory to fabricate the dentures.
During the next consultation, we will place the custom-fabricated dentures in your mouth and check for fit and comfort. If any changes in shape and fit are needed, we will make them and provide the modified dentures to you. Further, the dentist will take you through their usage and give you a few instructions to care for them so that they last for a long time without needing a lot of adjustments.
