Dentures

 

Dentures can help patients by restoring their ability to chew and creating a natural facial appearance by providing support for the lips and cheeks (something that can be affected when a person has missing teeth). Tooth loss can also affect a person’s speech, with dentures making patients better able to pronounce certain words and sounds. Most importantly perhaps, dentures provide an immediate and afford able way of restoring a person’s self-esteem.

FAQ's

  • Yes, anyone can have dentures fitted, regardless of age or dental condition. They’ll be custom-made to fit your unique oral anatomy, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.

  • Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable and functional set of teeth. However, not all patients require the extraction of their remaining teeth to fit dentures. In some cases, if the remaining teeth are healthy and can provide support for the dentures, they may be preserved. This is known as a partial denture, where the denture is designed to fit around the existing teeth. However, if the remaining teeth are damaged, decayed, or loose, it may be necessary to remove them in order to properly fit the dentures. Ultimately, the decision to extract remaining teeth will depend on your oral health.

  • Removable dentures are cost-effective and can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. However, they  may not provide the same level of stability and function as permanent implant-retained dentures. Permanent implant-retained dentures offer a more secure and natural-looking alternative. By anchoring the dentures to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone, patients can enjoy improved chewing ability and increased confidence. We’ll guide you through your various options when you visit us for your denture consultation.

  • Your mouth may need a little time to adjust to the presence of the dentures. However, with time and practice, most people find that dentures begin to feel comfortable. They may still feel slightly bulky or tight, but this can usually be resolved by visiting a dentist for adjustments. Overall, dentures should feel secure and natural in the mouth.

  • Yes, it is possible to get dentures even if you haven’t had teeth for a long time. However, it’s worth bearing in mind there’s a higher chance of you needing pre-fitting prep work for implant-retained if there has been a delay between you losing your teeth and getting the dentures.

  • The experience of getting dentures can vary from patient to patient, but generally, the fitting process is not considered to be painful. Local anaesthetic will be used if implants are required.

Excellent

“My experience today with Dr. Lorna Sabetti was excellent. I have had a terrible experience from another practice in the past. Dr. Sabetti and her assistant looked after me completely. I felt at ease, I was included me in every step of the procedure. There was no rushing and I was given breaks to ease my jaw.”
