At Melissa Dental Studio, we understand the transformative power of both dentures and partials in reviving your smile. Missing natural teeth shouldn’t cause embarrassment, as our personalized and customized dentures are tailored to suit your unique needs, providing a durable and natural-looking solution that lasts for years.
Why Consider Dentures or Partials?
The reason someone might need a denture or partial is because they are missing either all or most of their own teeth. Missing teeth can cause difficulties with chewing, eating, or talking. To improve your smile and its function, a denture or partial will be recommended. Both dentures and partials are removable and should be cleaned nightly before being replaced in the morning.
Who is a Candidate for Either Denture or Partial?
Anyone missing teeth can benefit from dentures or partials, especially if they’re not suitable candidates for dental implants or prefer not to undergo bridge placement. Our dental team assesses your oral health to determine the most appropriate treatment option based on your specific needs and the health of your current teeth and gums.
The Denture or Partial Procedure:
The process begins with precise impressions of your gums and teeth. These impressions are sent to a trusted local lab, where your custom appliance is meticulously crafted. After approximately two weeks, you return for the fitting of your new denture or partial. For complex cases, such as collapsed bite, loss of bone ridges, and asymmetrical smiles, multiple appointments will be scheduled between the impressions appointment and the final delivery appointment. This ensures that measurements are taken at multiple steps of the fabrication process of your custom-made partial or denture.
To maintain optimal hygiene and appearance, it’s essential to remove the denture nightly for thorough cleaning. With proper care, dentures can last for seven years or more, ensuring long-term functionality and comfort. Trust us to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you enjoy a confident and radiant smile for years to come.
