Dentures Port St. Lucie, FL

A denture is an oral appliance that is supported or partially supported by the gums, that is made to exchange or replace some teeth (a partial denture) or change all of your teeth (complete denture). Dentures are removable and typically manufactured from acrylic resin; while metals and porcelain may also be utilized. They must be cleaned after every meal and usually worn only throughout waking hours.

How Are Dentures Made To Fit Perfectly?

First and foremost, all dentures will only fit as well as the conditions in your mouth will allow them to do so. As time goes by, our bodies age and deteriorate, compromising the fit and function of dentures. To make dentures fit as perfectly as possible, we make a series of impressions of your jaw and take measurements of how your jaws relate to one another, as well as how much space is relatively between them. The next step is to create models, wax forms, or plastic patterns as previously explained, in the exact shape and position of the denture. We will generally test this model several times until it fits to complete precision. The denture will then be assessed for a color, shape, and fit before the final denture is created.

Dental Implants Can Lead To Stable Dentures

Using dentures can be a convenient decision when restoring a smile in some cases. As technological advances have emerged in the field of dentistry, the need for dentures has fallen, yet there are still many situations in which dentures can play an important role. They can be used transitionally, while you heal from surgery or dental extractions for example. Dentures can also be used hand-in-hand with dental implants for optimal results. The combination can lead to fewer dental implants, saving on costs, and result in a very stable set of dentures.
