Remaining teeth extracted, four implants placed and a denture made to latch onto the implants.
Dentures can be made in many shapes to replace one to twelve teeth. They can be made from pure acrylic or a mix of cobalt chrome and acrylic.
Yes, in many instances you can. This is called an "immediate denture". The impressions and measurements are done before the tooth extraction. This way, you do not need to have a gap in the smile after tooth removal. Once the soft tissues have healed, the same denture is often relined 6-12 weeks later to compensate for the tissue shrinkage.
Careful selection of tooth colour, shape and design can help dentures appear more discreet. Sometimes clasps of a partial denture may be visible depending on the width of your smile. Your dentist will work with you to help achieve your desired look.
New dentures range between $1750-$2400 depending on material choice and how many teeth you are replacing.
This will range between 2-4 visits depending on if you have a stable bite, if you have an existing denture and whether you have a "try-in" or prototype visit before receiving your final denture.
Yes absolutely, implants can be used to help retain partial or full dentures. Sometimes if you are missing many teeth on one side or if your jaw has shrunk, a conventional denture may be too loose. Implant-retained dentures benefit from both mechanical retention and also ease of hygiene, because you can still remove the denture to clean it.
Yes, many patients use dentures as an interim option before deciding on whether to choose implants.
A denture made from flexible acrylic resin. Rather than using wire clasps, it uses friction and undercuts around teeth to hold in place. The absence of metal helps them blend in.
New denture wearers will often go through an adjustment period for speech and eating which can range from days to weeks or months. Whilst many patients overcome the transition period, some prefer to switch later on to implant-supported options.
Good denture hygiene can involve daily cleaning with a simple brush and cleansing with tablets.
With good hygiene and care (being careful not to drop them), dentures can last between 5-7 years, or longer. Full dentures may be relined to maintain suction every 2-5 years depending on how your mouth changes over time.
Yes, in many instances if you have a tooth removed, it can be replaced on your existing denture as long as it has a reasonable fit.
