What Dentures are Right For You?
When it comes to getting dental prosthetics, no two patients’ needs will be exactly the same. That’s why our team at Fletcher Family Dental offers a variety of prosthetics to meet every patient’s unique situation. Our most common denture options for patients who are missing one or more teeth include:
- Partial: Whether you’re missing one tooth or a few across your mouth, a partial denture is the perfect solution to help fill any gaps. They can also help you avoid teeth shifting as a result of your missing teeth.
- Complete Conventional: For patients who need to replace a full mouth of teeth, our team offers complete dentures. This prosthetic is a great option for individuals who are experiencing significant tooth decay and want to avoid pain and further complications.
- Implant-Supported Conventional: While this isn’t always an option for every patient, you may be a good candidate for an implant-supported prosthetic. This is a great way to replace your teeth without fear of slipping, as long as you have enough jawbone to support your implants.
If you have been considering getting a dental prosthetic, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at Fletcher Family Dental. We can help you determine which prosthetic is right for you, while protecting any remaining teeth and surrounding oral tissue.
How to Prepare for This Appointment
Before you get a new set of dentures, there are a few things you may need to do to prepare. Taking adequate steps to prepare for this appointment is essential, as it sets the perfect base for your new prosthetic. Some services you may need to consider before investing in your new prosthetic include:
- Teeth Cleanings and Fluoride Treatments
- Tooth Extraction
- Periodontal Treatment
- Gum Reshaping
- Wisdom Tooth Removal
- Bone Contouring
Our team at Fletcher Family Dental will perform a thorough examination of your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone to ensure you’re ready for your new prosthetic. Before we begin making your prosthetic, we’ll ensure you’re ready to support this new device. While getting pre-prosthetic treatments can seem time-consuming, it’s well worth the investment.
By taking adequate time to prepare your mouth for your new prosthetic, you can trust that you’re prepared to support your new prosthetic for years to come. If you’re going to invest in dentures, you want to ensure they last. When you work with us, trust that your new, beautiful prosthetic will fit comfortably and last for years to come.
Tips for Transitioning to Dental Prosthetics
While you might be excited about getting a new dental prosthetic, it can take some significant adjusting. Even the most well-fitting dentures can present some challenges when you begin wearing them. However, with a bit of preparation and practice, they will become an essential part of your everyday life.
Some tips for transitioning to wearing your new dental prosthetic include:
- Practice speaking by reading books, newspapers, and magazines aloud.
- Start out by eating a soft food diet of yogurts, soups, potatoes, and eggs.
- Attend regular dental appointments to ensure you’re adjusting well.
- Contact your dental team if you experience any discomfort.
- Be patient with yourself as you transition to your new prosthetic.
- Give yourself breaks if you’re experiencing gum pain or discomfort.
If you are struggling to adjust, don’t hesitate to reach out to our office for assistance. We can offer support before an upcoming appointment and provide tips and tricks that will help ease your transition.
