Signs you may need a denture
Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be complete (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth).If you are completely edentulous (missing all of your teeth) in one or both jaws, dentures are a common solution. As you age, natural wear and tear on your teeth can lead to the need for dentures. Here are signs that you may need dentures:
- Difficulty Chewing Food
- Severe Tooth Decay or Gum Disease
- Shifting or Loose Teeth
If you experience any of these signs, it’s important to consult with your dentist. They can evaluate your oral health, discuss your options, and determine if dentures are the right solution for you. Dentures can improve your ability to eat, speak, and maintain a healthy, confident smile. Significant bone loss in the jaw due to missing teeth can necessitate dentures to restore function and appearance.
The denture process
The process of getting dentures involves several stages, from initial consultation to fitting and adjustment.Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.You'll discuss your dental history, any current issues, and your goals for getting dentures.Based on the examination, your dentist will recommend the type of dentures that best suit your needs (complete or partial).Detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken. These impressions serve as molds for creating your custom dentures.Measurements of your jaw and the way your upper and lower teeth come together (bite relationship) are recorded to ensure proper fit and function of the dentures. If you are having immediate dentures (placed right after tooth extraction), you may have a trial fitting to ensure the dentures fit comfortably and function properly.
