care for the whole family
Dentures are a tried-and-true solution for individuals who have lost their natural teeth due to injury, disease, or age. They are custom-made, removable replacements that restore the appearance and functionality of your smile. Dentures come in two varieties: complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, filling in the spaces and preventing other teeth from shifting. At Tuttle Family Dentistry, Dr. Brian Tuttle and Dr. Stephen Bryant are experienced in providing high-quality dentures that not only improve your smile but also your quality of life.
The first step towards getting dentures at Tuttle Family Dentistry involves an initial consultation and thorough oral examination. During this appointment, Dr. Tuttle or Dr. Bryant will assess your oral health, discuss your dental history, and determine the need and suitability for dentures. This is a crucial step to ensure that dentures are the best solution for your specific needs and to address any underlying oral health issues before proceeding.
Once it's decided that dentures are the right choice, our dentists will take impressions of your mouth. These impressions are then sent to a dental laboratory where your custom dentures will be fabricated. During this time, you may be given temporary dentures to wear. Once your dentures are ready, you will return to our office for the fitting. Our dentists will make necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, and provide guidance on how to care for your new dentures.
After you receive your dentures, follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your comfort and make any necessary adjustments. Regular check-ups are also important to maintain your overall oral health and ensure your dentures continue to fit properly as your mouth changes over time.
One of the most noticeable benefits of dentures is the improvement in your smile's appearance. Dentures are designed to look like natural teeth, filling in gaps or replacing missing teeth entirely. This can significantly enhance your facial aesthetics, making you look younger and healthier. Moreover, a full, bright smile can boost your self-confidence and improve your social interactions.
Dentures restore the functionality of your mouth, allowing you to eat and speak more comfortably. Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew certain foods, but dentures can help you enjoy a wider variety of foods and maintain a healthy diet. They can also improve speech clarity, as missing teeth can affect your ability to pronounce certain words.
Dentures not only improve your smile aesthetically but also contribute to long-term oral health. When you lose teeth, it can lead to other oral health issues, such as shifting of remaining teeth, changes in bite, and jawbone loss. Dentures help prevent these problems by providing support for the cheeks and lips, maintaining the structure of the mouth, and ensuring proper bite alignment.
