Over-time a variety of things can happen to your natural teeth ranging from damage, to stains or even loosening requiring dentures or a partial denture to replace your natural teeth. Further, it is just as important to care for your dentures as it is your natural teeth. In many instances they can be repaired or added too for the replacement of missing teeth. Also, if a denture becomes loose, we can help ascertain the root cause through a variety of methods. Once we have determined the cause we can discuss the various options that may be available to you.
How do I know if I need or should get Dentures?
Skygate Dental is an appropriately qualified health practitioner to assess your existing teeth and determine what, if any denture treatment is your best option for overall oral health. Whether you need full dentures or partial dentures Skygate Dentists will determine your best denture solutions.
If your teeth have undergone trauma or you have missing teeth, dentures can replace missing teeth. You may not require full dentures or complete dentures if there are healthy teeth present. Skygate Dental wants you to retain your remaining natural teeth whenever possible.
In some cases gum disease can lead to requiring artificial teeth. Custom dentures can be made for upper teeth or lower teeth. Types of dentures will be discussed with the patient to ensure high quality dentures are fitted specifically to each patients needs. This can include acrylic dentures made from acrylic material. Each dental treatment will be modelled to the patients needs. Skygate Dental offer full denture services. Whether they are replacing front teeth and leaving remaining teeth or providing a full set of dentures, Skygate Dental are your denture experts. If you need dentures in Brisbane, Skygate Dental is your dental prosthetist.
What is involved in getting Dentures?
If dentures are determined to be the patients best option the process can take more than one visit with a temporary solution in place for you while the dentures are being made. If tooth extraction is required there will be a healing process before the complete denture can be made, including:
When the gums shrink
The mouth will change shape
Patients can expect some surgical or invasive procedure when getting dentures. This may be tooth removal by Skygate dental experts. Depending on whether you have one tooth removed or many teeth removed the healing process will begin.
Once the healing has completed the conventional dentures/false teeth can be made to to fit your mouth specifically. Your new dentures will be made to look and feel like real teeth and have natural tooth colour. Our Dentists at Skygate Dental will be able to discuss the options available for the replacement of missing teeth and provide the best available recommendation for replacement.
Maintaining or denture repairs
There are a few potential options or treatments for your set of dentures which would include either; adhesives to help maintain a firm fit, a reline (addition of more material) or a new denture may be necessary. Prosthetic devices will need attention after time and as we age our mouth shape can change and our dentures fit differently.
Are there alternatives to Dentures?
Skygate Dental can discuss options with each patients individual needs. This may include a dental implants. A dental implant will require some of the same considerations as dentures in terms of healing time or a surgical or invasive procedure.
