Our staff will then take the time to explain and recommend the best and most appropriate solutions.
Complete dentures are either "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional false teeth are placed in the mouth about a month after all the teeth are removed to allow for proper healing, whereas an immediate denture is placed as soon as the teeth are removed. The drawback behind an immediate denture is that it may require more adjustments after the healing has taken place.
It is important to continue having regular checkups so that a denturist can examine oral tissues for signs of abnormalities. As you age, your mouth will continue to change as the bone under your dentures shrinks or recedes.
To maintain a proper fit over time, it may be necessary to adjust your dentures or possibly reevaluate them for realigns or new dentures. Never attempt to adjust your dentures yourself and do not use adhesives for a prolonged period because it can contribute to bone loss. When in doubt, please come in to consult our registered denturists (RD).
Some patients may have unusual conditions in their mouth or jaw joint (also known as Temporal Mandibular Joint or TMJ) which may require additional extensive measurements to properly fit a set of dentures. In these cases, a precision premium denture would provide the best fit and function in order to enjoy daily life activities like eating, speaking or laughing with confidence.
Precision premium dentures incorporate extensive measurements in your TMJ in order for the denturist to closely duplicate the natural movements of your jaw. Measurements are also used to guide the denturist in placing teeth for the best look and feel of your new dentures.
