At Paradigm Dental, dentures replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues to restore oral function and aesthetics. Custom-designed to fit an individual’s mouth, dentures consist of artificial teeth set in a supportive base made of materials like acrylic or metal. Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Dentures improve chewing, speaking, and facial appearance, providing a cost-effective and accessible solution for individuals seeking to regain the benefits of a complete set of teeth.
Suitable Candidate for Dentures
Complete Tooth Loss
Individuals who have lost their natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw may be suitable candidates for full dentures. Complete dentures in Oregon provide a comprehensive solution for restoring oral function and aesthetics in cases of total tooth loss.
Partial Tooth Loss
Those with some remaining natural teeth may benefit from partial dentures designed to fill gaps in the smile. Partial dentures are customized to blend seamlessly with existing teeth, providing a stable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Desire for a Non-Invasive Option
Some individuals may prefer a non-invasive and reversible option for tooth replacement. Dentures offer a removable solution, allowing users to adapt to the prosthetics at their own pace.
Affordability and Accessibility
Dentures are often a more affordable option compared to dental implants or bridges. Additionally, they are accessible to a wide range of individuals, making them a suitable choice for those seeking a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
Procedure for Dentures
The procedure for obtaining dentures involves a comprehensive process beginning with a thorough examination of the oral condition by our dentist in Oregon. This includes impressions and measurements to create custom-fit dentures. In cases of tooth extraction, immediate dentures may be provided. After crafting the dentures, a fitting session ensures proper comfort and functionality, with any necessary adjustments made. Oral care instructions, emphasizing hygiene and maintenance, are provided. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to address adjustments or modifications, ensuring a seamless transition to a restored and functional smile.
Dentures Care
Proper denture care is crucial for maintaining their functionality and longevity. Clean dentures daily using a soft brush and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to remove plaque and stains. Take care not to damage the delicate surface. Remove dentures at night to allow the gums to rest, placing them in water or a denture-cleaning solution. Handle dentures carefully to avoid breakage, and attend regular dental check-ups for professional assessments and adjustments. Also, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing the gums, tongue, and remaining natural teeth. Following these practices ensures denture wearers’ comfort, functionality, and overall well-being.
