What are dentures?

Dentures are a form of mouth reconstruction that supports your health and appearance. Custom-made, artificial teeth created by your dental team fit your mouth to replace lost or removed teeth. 

Full dentures and partial dentures currently exist on the market. Full dentures replace teeth on one side of the mouth, whereas partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth within the mouth. No matter the type of dentures you need, they are custom designed to fit your mouth and replicate your teeth, matching any that still exists within your mouth.

Are dentures the same as dental implants?

Dentures and dental implants both offer viable solutions to mouth reconstruction. Dentures, however, prove to be the more affordable and accessible option. Dentures provide flexibility and can be removed on a nightly basis. Dental implants require the implementation of screws within the mouth to hold newly modeled teeth in place. 

Understanding if dentures or dental implants are right for you depends on your unique case and needs. It’s best to consult your dentist for the best advice.

How are dentures made?

The creation of dentures requires several appointments over a couple of months. The team at Diamond Dental needs to take imprints of your jaw and bite to create the best and most seamless dentures for you. They will also measure the spaces inside your mouth and between the top and bottom jaw.

After this occurs, the team makes moldings to accurately replicate the size, shape, and placement of the dentures. To get a strong sense of the alignment and fit of the dentures, the team will suggest trying on the prototype dentures multiple times. The expert staff needs to consider all relevant information when making adjustments.

Are dentures painful?

Dentures are comfortable, easy to care for, and painless when designed correctly. A custom mold helps create the shape of your dentures. As a result, they fit directly into your mouth like a natural set of teeth. 

How do you care for dentures?

Clean dentures aid in a healthy smile. It’s important to clean your dentures daily with a brush, just as you would natural teeth. Additionally, dentures should be taken out of your mouth every night and soaked in a denture-safe cleaning solution while you sleep. These steps help prevent wear-and-tear and promote the longevity of your dentures.
