Q. Why go to a
Denturist?
A. Replacing your natural teeth is more than trusting someone with your smile. Your appearance, your looks, your whole image is at stake. Make sure you entrust this delicate task to a specially trained professional! Your Denturist is an expert in design, construction, insertion and adjustment of removable dentures as well as overdentures on implants. Their expertise, meticulousness and professionalism make them the best possible choice to help you derive the maximum benefit from dental prosthetics technology. "Denturist's are your denture specialists". Q. What's so different about going to a Denturist verses other dental professionals? A. Your Denturist listens to your needs. They personally handle every step in the construction of your denture: from the first impression to the last adjustment. There is no middleman in the fabrication of your new denture. The Denturist has an on site laboratory to produce your personalized dentures. Your Denturist is the ideal person to instruct you in the daily maintenance of your denture. He can also tell you how often your denture should be adjusted in order to ensure the comfort, effectiveness and aesthetic appearance that you expect. After all Denturists just make Dentures and Related Removable Appliances. A. Your dentures will not last indefinitely. The denture teeth and base will wear and stain over time. The tissues of the mouth are undergoing continual change so that the dentures will have to be adjusted, rebased or remade from time to time. This time will vary and depend upon such factors as individual tolerances, habits and the length of time you have had dentures. The average life of a denture is about five to seven years. Your Denturist is sensitive to your well-being and to the general condition of your dentures. Your Denturist also has the experience and expertise to advise you on your best treatment plan and how to proceed. Q. Now I have dentures I don't need an annual exam, do I? A. Your dentures and tissues
should be checked annually. Damage to the oral tissues can take
place without your being aware of it. Early detection and
elimination of tissue inflammation is important to minimize
shrinkage of the supporting bone and tissue. By keeping the tissue
healthy your dentures will continue to fit correctly. Your Denturist
will also check for looseness of the denture due to tissue changes,
stains and calculus deposits on the denture, your bite position (how
evenly your teeth close together). It's not the dentures which
change over time, it's your mouth which is continually changing so
by having your Denturist check on your oral condition, you are able
to enjoy all the benefits of a well fitting quality denture. For any other questions or concerns please book an appointment today! |
