Dentures are a removable dental appliance used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are typically made from acrylic resin and can be used to replace one or more missing teeth.
During the first visit, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and jaw to create custom dentures that fit comfortably and securely in your mouth. They will also select the appropriate shade and shape of teeth to match your natural smile.
Once the dentures are created, your dentist will ensure that they fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments. It may take several weeks to get used to wearing dentures, but with proper care and regular checkups, they can last for many years.
Dentures offer many benefits, including improved appearance, comfort, and functionality. They can also help support the structure of the face and prevent bone loss in the jaw.
If you are missing one or more teeth, dentures may be an excellent option for restoring your smile and your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Your dentist can help you determine the best type of denture for your needs and provide guidance on how to care for them properly.
