Tooth loss can be a significant struggle in the lives of patients of all ages. Missing teeth can not only impact how you feel about your smile, but can make even routine tasks difficult, like chewing or speaking. But tooth loss can be overcome with modern restorative dentistry, including with dentures in Canoga Park. Restore your smile with your dentist today, a dental group here for all your dental needs in one place.
What Are Dentures?
Most people have some idea of what dentures are, but the truth is there are several types of dentures. Each kind of denture shares the feature of restoring your smile back to its fullest potential. But the type of dentures a patient needs will depend on their unique situation and how many teeth need replacing.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are probably what most people picture when they hear the word “dentures.” These are the type that replace an entire row of teeth either on the top or the bottom. They rest on the gums while in use and can be removed for easy care and cleaning at night or when not in use.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some remaining teeth, then partial dentures can be an ideal solution. These dentures also rest on the gums, but they only replace several teeth instead of an entire row. They typically use neighboring teeth as anchors for extra support, but you can still take them out in many cases for easy cleaning.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures can be either partial or full, but what makes them special is that they use dental implants for outstanding stability. You can still remove them, but while in place the dentures can affix to your dental implants for improved sturdiness and function. More and more patients are turning to this solution for its unique benefits.
Are Dentures Right for Me?
If you are missing several or even all of your teeth, then dentures could be what you have been looking for. This tooth replacement option is ideal for restoring smiles that have been hit hard by tooth loss. For patients with only a few missing teeth, we also provide restoration options including dental implants and dental bridges.
The first step to see if dentures are your solution is to schedule your appointment with our specialist. During your appointment, we can discuss all your tooth replacement options and see what your plan can look like to get your smile back to 100%. Whatever your dental needs may be, Brite Smile Dental is here to give your smile the boost it needs to restore its beauty and function all at once.
Dentures are ideal for patients who:
- Are missing multiple teeth in a row
- Are missing entire rows of teeth
- Want to restore their ability to chew and speak
- Want to boost their confidence in their smile
What's the Process for Getting Dentures?
The process for getting dentures usually involves a couple of steps, but the process is well worth the results in the end. First we evaluate your missing and remaining teeth to see what options are best for getting your smile back. Then we will take impressions and photos of your teeth and gums to use for making your customized pair of dentures in the lab. Once your dentures are ready, you can come back in to try them on. Our specialist will work with you to ensure you are wearing them correctly and to make any minor adjustments to improve function and comfort.
How Long Do They Last?
For most patients, a single set of dentures can last for years. However, changes in the mouth, jaw, and gums may require you to have your dentures adjusted. Damage to dentures may also require replacement or repair, depending on the severity. However, with proper care, dentures can last up to a decade in some cases. Our specialist will provide you with complete instructions for getting used to, using, and cleaning your dentures to optimize your experience with them.
