Benefits of Dentures

If you’re dealing with tooth loss, dentures can be an effective solution to restore both the functionality and appearance of your smile. Here is a list of benefits of dentures:

Improved Oral Health | By replacing missing teeth, dentures help to prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment and can improve your overall oral health.
Restored Functionality | Dentures can greatly improve your ability to eat and speak, allowing you to enjoy a varied diet without discomfort.
Natural Appearance | Modern dentures are designed to mimic the look of natural teeth, helping you regain your smile and confidence.
Support for Facial Structure | Dentures provide support for your facial muscles and structure, helping to prevent sagging and maintain your youthful appearance.

Traditional Full Dentures

Traditional full dentures are a custom-made apparatus that gives you a set of false, very natural-looking teeth. These are adhered to your gums with adhesive and are removed when you sleep or when you want to clean them. You can have full dentures, which are one appliance for your upper teeth and another appliance for your lower teeth.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture apparatus is one that is used for a few teeth that are side by side. It doesn’t adhere to your gums like full dentures. This denture is clipped onto dental crowns that are on each side of the denture apparatus. This denture option is very convenient and easy to clean. This denture looks, feels, and functions just like your original teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dental implant-supported permanent dentures are the most long-lasting, durable denture option. Dental implants are a remarkable restorative dentistry treatment that places a small metal rod where you have a missing tooth that basically replaces your original missing tooth root. On top of the implant, a dental crown is placed. Permanent dentures are then attached to the dental implants. These permanent dentures don’t need to be removed daily and do not adhere to your gums with adhesive. They are simply attached to the permanent dental implants and look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

All-on-4® Treatment Concept

This system, amazing though it may seem, gives you a full set of permanent dentures in a 24-hour period. It may sound impossible, but the dentures are fitted on dental implants and you can have a full set of teeth in 24 hours.

Am I a Candidate for Dentures?

Determining if you’re a good candidate for dentures involves evaluating several factors related to your oral health and personal needs. Here are some key considerations:

Extent of Tooth Loss
Oral Health Status
Age and Overall Health
Lifestyle and Preferences

The Denture Process

Our dedicated team at The Lodi Dentist is here to guide you through the process of getting dentures that fit comfortably and look natural.

Step 1: Consultation

Your denture placement process will begin with a thorough consultation where we will assess your dental health and discuss your goals. We will help determine if dentures are the right option for you.

Step 2: Impressions

If you decide to proceed, we’ll take impressions of your mouth to create custom dentures that fit perfectly. This step ensures comfort and functionality.

Step 3: Try-In

Once your dentures are crafted, you’ll come in for a try-in appointment. This allows us to make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit and natural appearance.

Step 4: Final Placement

After any adjustments, your final dentures will be placed. We’ll provide instructions on how to care for your new dentures and what to expect during the adjustment period.
