Benefits of Modern Dentures

Today’s dentures have come a long way from past decades. They are more durable, natural-looking, and comfortable than ever. If you live in Southern Nevada, here are some reasons to consider dentures from Las Vegas Aesthetic Dentistry.

The Perfect Shape and Shade

One of the biggest benefits of choosing dentures is restoring your smile with personalized prosthetic teeth that match the shape, shade, and size of your natural teeth. Not only do you get a stunning new smile, but you may also improve your confidence in your personal and professional life.

Enhanced Comfort

Modern technology allows us to customize your dentures to fit your mouth perfectly. This enhanced design makes dentures more comfortable, with less gum and tongue irritation. Most dentures also have a minimally invasive installation process that does not require lengthy recovery times.

Easy Maintenance

Dentures are easy to remove, clean, and replace as well. You simply rinse them after eating and soak them in a denture cleaning solution every night. This prevents bacteria from growing on the dentures.

Reduce Oral Health Issues

When you have missing teeth, it can cause serious dental problems and more wear and tear on your remaining teeth. Dentures can prevent this by supporting and protecting your natural teeth, which can help you avoid oral health issues.

Better Functionality

Dentures significantly improve dental function. They help you bite, chew, and speak more naturally. They also support your gums and facial muscles, preventing the look of a hollow or sagging face.

Better Nutrition

Studies have shown that people with missing teeth may struggle with poor nutrition. Because dentures restore functionality, you can eat different kinds of food that provide an array of nutrients that enhance overall health.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dentures?

While there may be a misconception that only older adults get dentures, that is simply not the case. Dentures can help people of different ages who may have experienced significant tooth loss.

Dentures may be a good option for individuals who:

●      Have lost teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease

●      Have several missing teeth after an accident

●      Have a strong jawbone and healthy gums to support dentures

●      Are willing to treat gum disease and other dental issues before dentures

●      Can maintain their oral health and keep up with denture maintenance

●      Need an affordable option to restore their smiles

However, it is important to understand that dentures are not ideal for everyone. For example, patients with only one or two missing teeth can benefit more from dental implants or a dental bridge. Porcelain veneers can also dramatically improve the look of damaged teeth rather than undergoing extractions.

The only way to know if you are a good candidate for dentures is to speak with an experienced dentist about your oral health issues and smile goals. Dr. Tati and our team of trusted dental professionals offer confidential consultations to discuss your options and see if dentures are the best choice for you.

What Can I Expect When I Get Dentures?

When you first get dentures, there will be a transition period as you get used to your new dentures. Although these temporary changes will subside, here is what you can expect within the first days and weeks of getting new dentures:

●      Eating with new dentures: It may take some practice to get used to eating with dentures. Start with soft foods and chew slowly to become more comfortable with them. Then, you can move on to other types and textures of foods.

●      Speaking with new dentures: Just like eating, speaking with dentures will initially feel awkward. However, talking out loud on your own will help you feel more confident before speaking with others.

●      Soreness with new dentures: Within the first 48 hours of getting new dentures, you may notice sore spots on your gums, cheeks, or tongue. Let your dentist know about any discomfort so adjustments can be made.

●      Increased saliva with new dentures: It is natural for your mouth to produce more saliva as you get used to the new prosthesis. This will improve each day that you wear your dentures.

●      Adjustments with new dentures: As your gums adjust or heal, they can change or contract slightly. This may require some adjustments to your dentures within the first few weeks of wear.

What Types of Dentures Do We Offer?

Las Vegas Aesthetic Dentistry offers different types of dentures to meet your needs. Depending on how many teeth are missing and if other dental procedures are necessary, one of the following denture types may help.

Full Dentures

Full or complete dentures are made to replace all the teeth - either in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Using advanced 3D scans, these dentures fit over the contours of your gum line for a close, natural fit.

Partial Dentures

If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures may be the right choice. Partial dentures replace only your missing teeth while anchoring to your existing teeth. We offer removable partial dentures and fixed bridge partial dentures that permanently attach to your teeth.

Immediate Dentures

After you have teeth extracted, immediate dentures will restore your smile and offer functionality while your gums heal. They are typically temporary until your gums and jaw are healthy enough to support permanent dentures. Immediate dentures are available as full or partial dentures.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported or snap-in dentures are a type of denture that attaches to implants or abutments in your jawbone. They are available as full or partial dentures, removable or non-removable, and provide more stability than traditional dentures that have nothing to anchor them.
