Dentures in San Bruno - Your guide to the process
For many individuals, there comes a time when the best course of action to maintain an attractive and healthy smile is with the aid of denture appliances. Not all mouths are identical. For this reason, it is important to work with a dentist who is highly skilled at creating dentures that look natural; that are customized to your particular facial features. Dr. Parker loves the challenge of giving denture wearers the function they need with the natural appearance they can feel confident showing to the world.
The process of fabricating custom dentures takes several weeks. The result is full function and a customized smile. Normal chewing function is extremely important to the digestion process. When teeth are missing, the very place where digestion begins is impacted. The risk is that digestive function will be weakened over time. Therefore, restoring function with dentures is one way to maintain overall health. Dr. Parker will also disucss placing dental implants, or mini dental implants to aid in the retention of your denture.
The first step in obtaining new dentures is a consultation where remaining teeth are removed, if necessary. Most often the same day the teeth have been removed, the patient will go home with a temporary denture in order to maintain appearance and confidence during the healing process. Permanent dentures will not be crafted until all swelling has subsided.
Once the patients gums and jaw bone have healed from the extraction procedure, after a healing period of 6-8 weeks, he or she will return to the dentist to have implants placed and the provisional denture relined during the implant healing phase.. This is the best time to place dental implants to help stabilize your denture. If implants are not placed, final impressions will be taken, impressions will mold the shape of the jaw bone as well as show how much space is between the upper and lower jaw bones. From the impressions, models are crafted and evaluated for fit. Because it is important that dentures fit snugly, several fittings are usually done.
The result of the fittings and consultations regarding tooth color and shapes is a fully customized smile that feels comfortable and gives the patient confidence in showing his or her smile.
If you’re ready to restore full function and enjoy your best smile, schedule time to consult with Dr. Parker regarding custom dentures, or permanent implants for dentures in San Bruno.
