The Benefits Of Dentures

Improved Appearance

Dentures can drastically enhance your appearance by filling in the gaps left by missing teeth. They provide the necessary support for the facial muscles, preventing the sagging and aging appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.

Enhanced Speech and Eating Capabilities

Missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce certain words correctly and chew food properly. Dentures can help rectify these issues, allowing you to speak more clearly and enjoy a wider variety of foods.

Long-lasting and Cost-effective

With proper care, dentures can last many years, making them a cost-effective solution for tooth loss. They are less expensive than many other dental restoration methods while still providing the functionality and aesthetics you need.

The Denture Treatment Process

Initial Consultation and Examination

During your initial consultation, Dr. Andrew Clanney will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health to determine if dentures are the right solution for you. He will discuss your specific needs and expectations to ensure the best possible outcome. This examination may include X-rays and a review of your medical history. Dr. Clanney will also assess the condition of any remaining teeth and evaluate your gum health. He'll explain the different types of dentures available and help you make an informed decision about your dental care.

Impressions and Measurements

Once it's decided that dentures are the right choice, Dr. Clanney will take impressions and measurements of your mouth. These will be used to create a denture that fits perfectly and matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. The impression process involves using a special dental putty to create an exact mold of your mouth. Dr. Clanney may also take photographs and use digital imaging technology to ensure the most accurate representation of your oral structure. These detailed measurements help create dentures that not only fit well but also support your facial features, maintaining a natural appearance.

Fitting and Adjustments

When your dentures are ready, you will have a fitting session. Dr. Clanney will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and securely. You'll be given instructions on how to care for your new dentures to ensure their longevity. During this appointment, Dr. Clanney will check your bite alignment and make sure the dentures don't interfere with your speech or eating. He'll also provide guidance on inserting and removing your dentures, as well as tips for getting used to them. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to address any issues that arise as you adapt to your new dentures. Remember, it's normal to need some time to adjust to wearing dentures, and Dr. Clanney will be there to support you throughout the process.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

While it may take some time to adjust, most people can eat a wide variety of foods with dentures. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and gradually reintroduce harder foods as you become more comfortable. Chewing slowly and using both sides of your mouth can help maintain stability. Avoid sticky or hard foods that can damage dentures or cause them to shift. If you experience persistent difficulty eating, consult your dentist for adjustments or advice.
