Dentures Tooth loss is not an easy thing to have to deal with because it often means difficulty eating food, speaking properly, and even a reluctance to smile. The most serious change that comes with tooth loss is a domino effect of negative oral health issues. For this reason, when our patients experience tooth loss we recommend considering tooth replacement right away. Tooth replacement options like dental implants and dentures can help to restore the form and function of lost teeth and give you back the confidence to smile. What are dentures?Dentures are a removable prosthetic device that is made to look, feel, and act just like your real teeth. They are made of a special plastic material that mimics both the crowns of your teeth and a portion of your gums, to give a natural look to your mouth. Dentures can help you to eat as you did when you had teeth. Having Dentures Made For YouWhen you decide to have dentures made, we will start by making an impression of your mouth. Using this impression and some additional records of your mouth, a custom-made, custom-fit denture will be made for you. Dentures are an affordable option that can improve the quality of your life! Denture CareDentures require some special care considerations. It is important to remove your dentures before you go to sleep every night. Your mouth needs to rest. It is important to clean your dentures daily using a soft denture brush or soft toothbrush. Dentures should always be stored in fluid overnight, or when you remove them from your mouth. They can be stored in tap water, or a denture solution. Alternative Tooth Replacement OptionsDentures are a great way to replace teeth affordably. Dental implants offer long term tooth replacement options with fewer hassles and more long term health benefits. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, and even a full arch of missing teeth while simultaneously improving your oral health. Because dental implants are surgically placed into the bone of your jaw, they help to fight bone loss in the jaw and give you added stability while chewing your favorite foods. Regardless of what tooth replacement option you choose, at Nancy Shiba, DDS we want to make sure you have options!
