Whether you have lost your teeth due to disease or accident, you are going to need to have them replaced. Tooth loss can lead to speech difficulties, bone deterioration, and even the shifting of your remaining teeth. If you have lost your teeth, your dentist will be able to fit you with dentures. There are several benefits to being fitted with dentures. When you sit down to discuss options with your dentist you will be able to ask any questions you might have. Some of those questions might include, what are dentures, or how are they fitted to your mouth. If you have questions about your Dentures Las Vegas dentists can provide you with the answers.
WHAT ARE DENTURES?
Dentures are removable artificial teeth. They are designed to fit directly on to your gum’s. There are two types of dentures, full and partial. Full dentures are a complete arch in which all of the teeth on the upper or lower jaw are replaced. Partial dentures are designed to replace just one or two teeth that might be missing. They will attach with a hook that wraps around a back tooth. Depending on the type of dentures you get, you may be able to begin wearing them as soon as your permanent teeth are removed. However, in some cases you will need to wait up to a month before wearing your new dentures.
HOW ARE DENTURES FITTED?
In order to design your Dentures Las Vegas dentists at Desert Breeze Dental will need to take an impression of your mouth. The dentist will place a mouth tray containing dental putty into your mouth and have you bite down. This process will leave an impression of your mouth that will be used as a mold to create your permanent dentures. That mold will be sent to a dental laboratory where your dentures will be made. Once your dentist receives the finished dentures you will need to go in for several fittings. The fittings are necessary to ensure that they fit you properly.
Dentures will allow you to continue enjoying life even after you have experienced permanent tooth loss.
