At Smile Cincinnati of Eastgate, we understand how important a healthy, confident smile is to your overall well-being. If you’ve experienced the loss of some or all of your teeth, our custom-made dentures can help restore both the function and appearance of your smile.
Creating Your Custom Dentures
The process of making dentures begins with taking detailed impressions of your teeth, gums, and jaw. These impressions allow us to create an accurate model of your mouth. From this model, we design a trial denture that we test, adjust, and fine-tune to ensure that the shape, color, and fit are perfect for your needs. Once we have a model that meets your expectations, we send it to the dental lab where your permanent dentures are made. After receiving your permanent dentures, we will ensure they fit comfortably and make any final adjustments for a secure and personalized fit.
Types of Dentures
There are two primary types of dentures: Conventional Full Dentures and Partial Dentures. Each option is tailored to meet different tooth replacement needs.
- Conventional Full Dentures
If you need a full set of upper or lower teeth replaced, conventional full dentures are an excellent solution. After your gums have fully healed from any extractions, we take new impressions to create your custom dentures. Once the dentures are crafted, we carefully fit them to your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best fit and comfort. - Partial Dentures
Partial dentures, also known as dental bridges, are ideal for patients who are missing one or more teeth. These dentures not only fill in gaps in your smile but also help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty spaces. A partial denture consists of a replacement tooth that is attached to crowns placed on the surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural teeth.
Caring for Your Dentures
It’s important to follow up with your dentist in Eastgate Cincinnati regularly to ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably. Over time, adjustments may be needed to maintain proper function and comfort. To keep your dentures clean, use a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser to avoid plaque buildup. In general, dentures should be replaced every 5-10 years. Be sure to ask your dentist if it’s time to evaluate whether your dentures need to be refitted or replaced.
