Dentures provide patients with a synthetic pair of teeth that are resilient, yet appealing. If you are missing some or all your teeth, you may benefit from partial or full dentures. Dentist of Long Beach can help you regain the confidence and smile you deserve with our professional and affordable denture services.
Dentures consist of a dental appliance with teeth. The dental appliance utilizes acrylic that closely matches the gum’s coloring and complexion. However, the teeth are often crafted from either plastic or porcelain. For partial dentures, a chrome-cobalt framework effectively connects it to the teeth that remain.
Dentures are dental appliances that supply individuals with a synthetic set of teeth. Some are removable, whereas others are permanent. Dentures that are permanent, also known as implant-supported dentures, are affixed through implants in the jaw. Thus, permanent dentures cannot be removed.
While dentures are useful for creating a pleasing aesthetic, their function is to stop any remaining teeth from shifting. In addition, they aid individuals who are missing teeth in speaking and chewing.
Despite many misconceptions, dentures are not for one specific age group. If you are missing teeth, then dentures can help restore your smile.
The need for full or partial dentures is dependent on how many teeth are missing. If you are missing several teeth, partial dentures may suffice. Conversely, if you are missing all your teeth or the ones remaining are in a compromised state, full dentures may be necessary. If you are unsure if your situation warrants full or partial dentures, our experts at Dentist of Long Beach will be happy to assess your needs.
At first, your new set of dentures may feel foreign. Saying specific words may be cumbersome and chewing may be awkward. Through time, this subsides, and individuals typically adjust within several weeks.
Many of your eating habits may remain the same. However, you should avoid biting down on hard foods or candy. Furthermore, coffee and smoking may eventually stain your dentures.
Dentures are a durable option but require proper maintenance. If you have implant-supported dentures, you may clean your teeth the same as before but may need a different kind of toothpaste.
With removable dentures, it is important to gingerly take them out. Grab a plush hand towel and cover the sink or fill it with water to keep your dentures from falling and cracking.
After they have been taken out, softly brush them. This can be done once each day utilizing a denture cleaning solution. At nighttime, you may also soak the dentures in a designated solution. Using water that is lukewarm or room temperature is highly recommended, as water that is too hot may distort their shape.
Dentures are a cost-effective solution for restoring your smile. The final cost will depend on various factors, including the type of dentures you choose, or if you need dentures for both the top and bottom row of your teeth. If you’re concerned about affordability, Dentist of Long Beach offers flexible payment plans via easy financing options. Additionally, your dental insurance may be able to help with the cost of your dentures. Reach out to us for more details and to discuss the best option for you.
