Full and Partial Dentures in Crows Nest
If you’ve lost multiple teeth and are looking for a solution, we offer a range of treatment options, including dentures, bridges, crowns, or implants based on your oral condition. At MySolutions Dental Clinic, Dr Lindsay Chen (Dentist) has a particular focus on prosthodontics, with over a thousand full and partial dentures crafted over the years. With her considerable skill and experience, you’ll receive a well-fitted denture and minimise the need for additional adjustment appointments.
Step-by-Step Process: What to Expect
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what you can expect when getting dentures:
- Comprehensive Medical and Dental History: We’ll start by understanding your medical and dental background to ensure we provide the right care.
- Oral Examination: Our team will carefully examine your soft and hard tissues, checking for any periodontal infections or unstable teeth. We’ll assess the condition of the bone in the missing teeth area to determine the best approach.
- Treatment and Restoration: If needed, we will remove hopeless or mobile teeth and restore decayed teeth. This ensures a healthy foundation for your denture.
- Impression and Bite Registration: Once your mouth is prepared, we’ll take an impression and bite registration. This information will be sent to our laboratory to create a custom denture.
- Try-In Procedure: We will assess if we will require a try-in appointment to ensure a perfect fit.
- Final Fitting and Occlusal Adjustment: Once the denture is ready, we’ll fit it to your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a stable occlusal bite.
Benefits & Considerations
There are several benefits associated with dentures:
Restored Oral Function
Dentures reconstruct oral function, allowing you to chew and eat comfortably.
Improved Aesthetics
For patients who have lost anterior teeth, dentures can help recreate a natural-looking smile, boosting confidence in social interactions.
While dentures offer numerous advantages, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Impressions
Some patients may have difficulty tolerating the alginate material used for impressions. However, we employ advanced technology such as intraoral scanners to provide a comfortable alternative.
Adjustment Period
Initially, having a foreign object, such as a denture plate, in your mouth may feel uncomfortable and affect speech or pronunciation. However, patients typically adjust to this change over time.
