If you have multiple missing teeth and are ready to reclaim your smile, dentures may be the perfect option.
Although they’ve been around for ages, today’s dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than those of the past. These dental appliances can either replace all of your teeth or a few, known as partial dentures.
Both types may require some teeth to be pulled or surgery on the bony ridges beneath the gums to accommodate your new dentures better and ensure they have a perfect feel and fit.
We begin by taking a 3D scan of your teeth, avoiding the discomfort and mess of traditional moulds. These scans are sent off-site to a local lab that delivers high-quality prosthetics tailored to your specific needs.
If full dentures are necessary and extractions are required, a temporary denture is placed to assist with healing and provide “teeth” while your gums heal. Partial ones replace missing teeth and are attached to existing teeth with anchors made of plastic or metal.
A final denture is prepared after all healing has taken place, usually within 6-12 months. Both full and partial appliances are removed at night when you sleep, allowing saliva to wash over your gums and maintain a healthy mouth.
At Hawthorn Dental Hub, we offer three types of dentures to suit every situation:
Complete replacement for all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, restoring complete function and aesthetics, providing a natural look.
Replace one or more missing teeth and are anchored to existing teeth, preventing shifting of remaining teeth, are cost-effective, and are removable.
Secured by dental implants offering enhanced stability, improved chewing ability, and long-lasting results.
Clean them regularly, avoid dropping them, and come in for periodic dental checkups.
The implant procedure is done under anaesthesia, and any discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.
If you’re ready to discuss dentures, we’re here for you. Of course, other options may also be available, but we won’t know for sure until we see you! Contact us today to schedule an examination and consultation.
Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks. Before moving forward, it is recommended that you seek a second opinion from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
