We Want to See You Smile
At SkyeView Dental, we understand that a radiant smile is an essential part of your overall well-being. If you're living with partial or full tooth loss, our comfortable modern dentures offer a transformative solution that can bring back your smile, your confidence, and your quality of life. As you read on, we'll explore what dentures are, how they work, the process of making them, the concept of denture stabilization, and how it can enhance your daily experience.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in various types, including full dentures (for complete tooth loss) and partial dentures (for multiple missing teeth while some natural teeth remain). Dentures are custom-made to provide a comfortable and natural-looking solution for tooth loss.
How Do Dentures Work?
Dentures restore both the appearance and function of your teeth. Here's how:
- Aesthetics: Dentures are crafted to look like natural teeth, ensuring you maintain a natural-looking smile.
- Chewing and Speaking: Dentures allow you to chew food effectively and speak clearly, which can be challenging with missing teeth.
- Support for Facial Muscles: Dentures support facial muscles, preventing sagging and maintaining your facial structure.
- Improved Confidence: With a fully functional set of teeth, you can smile, eat, and speak confidently.
How Are Dentures Made?
The process of making dentures is a highly precise and customized procedure. It involves several steps:
Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey to dentures begins with a comprehensive. During this appointment, our dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the type of dentures that best suit your needs.
Impressions and Measurements
Precise impressions and measurements of your oral structures are taken to ensure a proper fit. This step is critical in crafting dentures that are comfortable and functional.
Custom Fabrication
Your dentures will be custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory based on the impressions and measurements. Skilled technicians will carefully create your prosthetic teeth, ensuring they look just like natural teeth in shape, size, and color.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your dentures are ready, you'll return to our office for a fitting. Our dental team will ensure that the dentures fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments to optimize their fit and function.
Education and Care Instructions
We'll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your dentures to ensure their longevity and maintain good oral hygiene.
What Is Denture Stabilization?
Denture stabilization, also known as implant-supported dentures or overdentures, is an innovative technique that combines the benefits of dental implants with traditional dentures. It involves using dental implants to anchor and stabilize your dentures, providing you with a secure and comfortable fit.
How Does Denture Stabilization Work?
Denture stabilization offers several advantages:
- Enhanced Stability: Dental implants act as sturdy anchors, preventing dentures from slipping or shifting while you eat, speak, or laugh.
- Improved Chewing Efficiency: With denture stabilization, you can enjoy a wider range of foods, including those that are hard or crunchy, with confidence.
- Increased Comfort: No more irritation or discomfort caused by loose dentures. Stabilized dentures stay firmly in place, reducing friction against your gums.
- Preserved Bone Health: Dental implants stimulate the underlying jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss and maintain your facial structure.
- Longevity: Denture stabilization can extend the lifespan of your dentures, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
