- DenturesWhen you lose teeth due to decay, an accident, or another cause, a partial denture can help you regain your smile. Natural teeth can never be replaced, but neither can they be matched by any artificial substitute. There are advantages and disadvantages to using removable partial dentures, just as there are to using any other artificial product.
- OverdenturesNow that we’ve established how to get your smile back, let’s talk about chewing! Losing teeth causes many things to happen within your mouth including shifting teeth and bone damage. All this put together can make it difficult and uncomfortable to chew your favorite foods. A big, juicy hamburger may have become simply a fond memory to you. If it has, it’s time for a change. One of the most secure procedures we do is an implant. An implant (also known as overdentures
- Dental ImplantsA typical implant procedure involves the placement of four to six titanium screws into the jawbone by an oral surgeon. Once the screws have had enough time to heal and integrate with your jawbone, the false teeth can be attached.
- Oral SurgeryAn immediate denture works like a bandage in that it protects hurt tissues and reduces the chance of more bleeding. Dentists usually tell patients with new instant dentures to wait between 24 and 48 hours before taking them out for the first time. This is due to the swelling of the gum tissue following oral surgery. Taking out your dentures too soon after treatment can cause uncomfortable places to become inflamed and prevent you from adequately reinserting them.
- Tooth ExtractionsIf there is a lot of infection at the tooth extraction site or if many teeth need to be taken out, the oral surgeon may give painkillers and maybe even an antibiotic. Taking the medication as prescribed will help speed up the healing process of your gums.
