COMPLETE DENTURE
When you’re missing all your natural teeth, it can affect not only your appearance but also your confidence, speech, and ability to eat comfortably. Complete dentures offer a reliable and natural-looking solution, allowing you to regain a functional smile. At George Street Dental Surgery Bathurst, we specialize in custom-made complete dentures that restore both comfort and aesthetics.
What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, are removable dental appliances designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth—either on the upper, lower, or both jaws. Made from high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums, complete dentures fit securely over your gums, restoring functionality, appearance, and confidence.
Benefits of Complete Dentures
Complete dentures can improve your quality of life in numerous ways:
- Enhanced Appearance: Complete dentures support facial muscles and provide a natural-looking smile, helping you maintain a youthful appearance.
- Improved Speech: Missing teeth can affect pronunciation. With complete dentures, you’ll find it easier to speak clearly and confidently.
- Better Chewing Function: Dentures restore your ability to eat a variety of foods, making it easier to maintain a balanced diet and enjoy mealtimes.
- Restored Confidence: A full smile can greatly boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel comfortable in social and professional settings.
What to Expect During the Denture Process
At George Street Dental Surgery Bathurst, we take pride in providing a comfortable and streamlined process for creating and fitting complete dentures. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us:
- Initial Consultation
- Your journey to a complete smile begins with an in-depth consultation. Our experienced dentists will examine your gums, discuss your preferences, and recommend the best options for your unique needs.
- Impressions and Measurements
- To create a custom fit, we take detailed impressions of your gums and measurements of your jaw. This ensures that your dentures sit comfortably and securely in your mouth, providing optimal function and appearance.
- Fitting and Adjustments
- After your dentures are fabricated, we will fit them to your gums, making adjustments as needed to ensure comfort and functionality. Your dentist will also guide you on how to wear, remove, and care for your new dentures.
- Follow-Up Care
- Follow-up visits are essential to ensure your complete dentures continue to fit comfortably. Over time, adjustments may be needed to accommodate any natural changes in your gums or jaw structure.
Tips for Taking Care of Complete Dentures
To keep your dentures in excellent condition and protect your oral health, here are some essential care tips:
- Clean Daily: Brush your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too harsh on denture surfaces.
- Soak Overnight: Keep your dentures moist by soaking them in a denture solution overnight. This prevents warping and helps retain their shape.
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Even with full dentures, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene. Gently clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily to reduce plaque and prevent gum irritation.
- Visit Us Regularly: Routine dental visits are important to ensure your dentures are fitting correctly and to monitor your oral health. Over time, we can make any adjustments needed to keep you comfortable and confident.
Adjusting to Life with Complete Dentures
It may take some time to fully adjust to complete dentures, especially if they’re your first set. You may experience a brief adjustment period as you get used to chewing, speaking, and wearing the dentures. Our dental team will provide guidance to help you through the process and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
