Dentures & Partials in Troy, NY
Many people, especially as we age, will suffer from tooth loss. There are several ways that our dental office can help fill in the missing gaps in a patient's smile. Dentures are a tried and tested method to replace missing teeth, and though there are other options, such as dental implants, for patients who want an easy, non-invasive solution, dentures might be the right fit.
Missing teeth can make the patient feel self-conscious and prevent them from thoroughly enjoying life as they avoid smiling or laughing too much. But dentures also have a functional purpose, protecting the rest of the mouth while returning some of the functionality of teeth to enable comfortable chewing. However, some foods can easily dislodge dentures and should be avoided.
Evergreen Dental Care provides dentures to their patients, returning their smile to a complete set of shiny whites.
How Do Dentures Work?
The patient will meet with the dentist for an in-depth dental examination to determine if dentures are a good fit. The dentist will measure the spaces in the mouth using precise equipment, creating a set of teeth that look like they naturally belong in the patient's mouth.
The dentures are removable and require a special adhesive to hold them in place. This makes dentures easy to remove and clean and makes accessing the areas under them easy.
Depending on the patient's oral care needs and desires, dentures may be an excellent solution to their missing teeth.
Are Dentures A Good Choice For Me?
To be a good candidate for dentures, a patient needs to have missing teeth in a partial row for partial dentures or a complete row for full dentures. There are several things that the dentist may recommend to help make dentures a possibility:
- Provide retreatments such as cleanings and x-rays to ensure the health of the mouth
- Mitigate and control dental problems the patient may have, like periodontal disease
- Remove or treat teeth that would interfere with the denture's ability to stay firmly attached to the gums
Dentures require some special care; they should be cleaned daily with a toothbrush and soaked in an appropriate cleaner when they are not in use. The patient will also need to clean their mouth thoroughly to prevent bacteria buildup.
