Im not a fan of the dentist and have trouble with anxiety. When I heard i needed a root canal I immediately felt myself getting anxious. The nurse recognizes it right away and really took his time to tell me exactly what to expect and what they were going to do to help me stay calm. What a relief! Real nice people at Admire.
Dentures
Dentures are removable replacement teeth that help you retain jawbone strength and restore your confident smile. Admire Dental is here to help you find a solution to your tooth loss, so call us today to talk about affordable quality dentures.
There are many options for dentures. Together with your dentist you will first determine which type is best for you. Partials work best for those who have just a few missing teeth. Full, or complete, dentures replace all teeth on your lower or upper jaw. If you have a few teeth remaining on that jaw, they’ll be extracted to make room for the full denture.
Once the type of denture is selected, you’ll work with your dentist to choose how the denture will attach to your gums and what denture material will work best for you. Implant-supported dentures offer the strongest attachment by snapping onto dental posts that are surgically implanted into your gums. Traditional full dentures use denture adhesive for a secure fit and rest directly on your gums.
Flexible partial dentures are also available, but most partials tend to use clasps that wrap around adjacent teeth. You’ll choose between metal, rigid plastic, flexible plastic and a variety of other materials. These materials form the framework of the partial and affect their durability, cost and comfort. Often, individuals with dentures prefer flexible plastic frameworks since the pliable material easily moves with your mouth. This malleable plastic also makes the denture a good choice for covering receding gum lines.
All-on-Four dentures can be a good solution for people who desire stronger biting power and enhanced protection for their jaw. As its name suggests, this style anchors to four dental implants, creating a strong, secure attachment. This is an especially good option for a lower full denture since lower dentures tend to shift easily.
Getting dentures can take several weeks to a few months, but it all starts with a consultation at our office. We’ll review your oral health, and draw up a plan for your denture process. You may need to have some teeth extracted or your jaw augmented to be able to support a new denture. We’ll wait for those preparations to heal before we take an impression of your mouth. That impression helps us make samples for you to try in your mouth. Once you find a sample that fits comfortably and works with your bite, we’ll make your permanent denture.
