Dentures: Rediscovering Your Smile and Confidence
Embrace a Renewed Smile and Optimal Oral Function with Custom Dentures
Losing teeth can be a life-altering experience, impacting not only your oral health but also your self-esteem and ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Dentures offer a transformative solution, allowing you to regain your smile’s brilliance and restore essential oral functions. At Union Street Dental in Bennington, VT, we are dedicated to providing top-quality dental care, including custom dentures that fit comfortably and look natural.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be either full dentures, replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or partial dentures, replacing a few missing teeth while preserving existing natural teeth.
Types of Dentures
At Union Street Dental, we offer different types of dentures to suit our patients’ unique needs:
- Full Dentures: Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are custom-made to fit your mouth, providing excellent stability and functionality.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. They are designed to fit around your existing teeth, restoring your smile’s completeness.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: For enhanced stability and improved comfort, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
The Denture Fitting Process
Getting dentures typically involves multiple dental visits to ensure a perfect fit and appearance. Here’s what you can expect during the denture fitting process:
- Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your dental concerns, and determine if dentures are the right solution for your needs.
- Impressions and Measurements: Precise impressions and measurements of your mouth will be taken to create custom dentures that fit comfortably and securely.
- Denture Preview: In some cases, a denture preview may be provided to allow you to see how your dentures will look before they are fabricated.
- Denture Try-In: You will have a chance to try on your dentures before they are finalized to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite.
- Final Denture Placement: Once your custom dentures are ready, they will be placed in your mouth, and your dentist will make any necessary adjustments for an optimal fit.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer numerous advantages for individuals with missing teeth:
- Restored Smile: Dentures provide a complete and natural-looking smile, boosting your self-confidence.
- Improved Chewing and Speaking: Dentures enable you to chew food properly and speak clearly, restoring essential oral functions.
- Facial Support: Dentures help maintain facial structure and prevent sagging, giving you a more youthful appearance.
