If you are missing teeth, you are acutely aware of the problems it can cause. You may be unable to eat your favourite foods and be embarrassed to smile in pictures. Sometimes, your missing teeth may make it difficult to speak correctly. If this sounds familiar, you may want to consider dentures from Peak Dental Care in Blacktown, NSW.
What Types of Dentures Are Available in Blacktown?
Modern dentistry has allowed for vast improvements when it comes to tooth replacement, and today’s dentures are greatly improved in terms of the way they look and feel. Our dental clinic is happy to offer the following types of dentures:
Partial dentures – If you don’t need to replace an entire arch of teeth, you may want to consider partial dentures. A partial denture can replace the gap in your smile by using clasps to attach artificial teeth to your natural teeth.
Full dentures – If you need to replace an entire upper or lower arch, full dentures may be your best option. Instead of an acrylic base, we use a lighter chrome framework that makes your full dentures stronger and more comfortable.
Implant-supported dentures – If you are concerned about your dentures moving around or coming loose, you may want to consider an implant-retained denture. Instead of your dentures sitting on your palate or gums, dental implants attach them for added stability.
What’s the Process for Getting Dentures?
If you decide that dentures are the right tooth replacement option for you, here’s what to expect in terms of the process:
1. Consultation – We will discuss your options for dentures with you.
2. Impressions – We will take impressions of your teeth and gums. Soon after, we will ensure your upper and lower jaw are aligned.
3. Fitting – Once your dentures are made, we will have you try them to see how they fit and discuss any concerns you may have. Adjustments will be made if necessary.
4. Follow up – We will ask you to come in so that we can see how you’re doing and if you are having any difficulties
Denture Care
When it comes to taking care of your dentures, you need to follow these simple steps:
- Daily cleaning – Keep your dentures clean by using denture cleanser and rinsing them after you eat.
- Soaking – Soak your dentures overnight to keep them from drying out.
- Storage – If you aren’t wearing your dentures, store them in their case to avoid damage.
- Dental visits – Be sure to visit your dentist regularly so they can make sure your dentures fit properly.
