FAMILY DENTURISM FOR COMPLETE DENTURE SERVICES IN FORT ST. JOHN
At Complete Care Denture Clinic in Fort St. John, we focus on designing the best-fitting and natural-looking dentures for our patients. We understand the need for the replacement of lost or broken teeth. Hence, we use the latest technologies and materials to provide complete denture services.
COMPLETE DENTURES
Complete Surgical Immediate Dentures are a matching set of upper and lower dentures that are designed to replace lost or missing teeth. Immediate dentures are fitted as soon as the natural teeth are removed from the patient’s mouth. However, a few adjustments are required as gums heal over time. Generally, conventional dentures can be done in a time frame of 3-5 appointments.
Complete Care Denture Clinic offers only high-quality and durable dentures for our patients. We ensure maximum customer satisfaction when it comes to your aesthetics, lifestyle, and expectations. Moreover, we stay up to date with the latest technologies and techniques to provide the best fitting experience. During your initial visit, we will thoroughly assess your condition and provide you with the best options available to you. We may also factor in your measurements to design the best dentures for you.
Once the dentures are fitted, it is advisable to stay in constant touch with us. It will take some time to get used to it and some oral irritations are unavoidable during initial usage. Remember to get periodical checkups as your mouth will take time to get accustomed to them. We are also required to assess your oral tissues as they may require special attention at times. As time goes on, your mouth and the bone under the dentures will shrink or recede. Hence, the dentures may require additional adjustments.
You should never try to adjust your dentures by yourself. Never try to use adhesives for long periods of time as it can lead to bone loss underneath. In case you feel any irritation or discomfort, feel free to contact us right away. We will check on them and reevaluate for further adjustments, relines, or new dentures entirely.
PREMIUM DENTURES
Complete Dentures require additional care and attention for designing perfect-fitting dentures. Hence, these types of dentures have the best fit and functionality when it comes to people missing all their natural teeth. After fitting, patients are able to carry on daily activities like speaking, eating, laughing, and smiling with ease.
For complete dentures, our denturists will carry out extensive measurements of the Temporal Mandibular Joint. This will help them to design the dentures to replicate natural jaw movements. Afterwards, these measurements will help the denturist to fit the dentures properly so they feel comfortable and provide the best look.
IMMEDIATE DENTURES
As mentioned earlier, immediate dentures are fitted in the mouth as soon as the natural teeth are removed. Premium dentures and immediate dentures are built differently. Premium ones cannot be fitted into the gums as they need to be healed first. This alone can take 6-8 months depending on the person. However, there is no waiting period for immediate dentures.
You can start smiling again without having to wait for the healing period. Hence, you can start carrying out daily activities right away. The measurements for the dentures are taken during the first visit and become ready when it’s time to remove the teeth. With immediate dentures, a temporary lining is provided so that it helps the gum to heal normally. At Complete Care Denture Clinic, we are licensed to make dentures in-house and provide complete denture services from consultation to fitting and future check-ups.
GET BACK YOUR NATURAL SMILE WITH A TEMPORARY LINER
Before the surgery, our licensed denturists will create an impression of your current teeth and gums. These are used to help in the designing and construction of the new dentures. As a result, there will hardly be any difference between real and fake teeth as they will be made to replicate your existing ones. Once the dentures are fitted, they will improve your appearance and you can smile with confidence.
GUIDELINES FOR IMMEDIATE DENTURES
In some rare cases, there may not be any way to try out dentures without extracting the teeth first.
Always follow post-operative instructions you receive from denturists.
Temporary linings are generally advised for a better fit in the mouth.
Do not forget to get regular checkups for a comfortable fit of dentures and ideal healing.
Once the gums are healed, denturists will recommend you to get a permanent relining instead of a temporary one. They may also ask to get new measurements for fixing or making a new denture. It is done to ensure that the denture is comfortable and its fitting is not affected by the healing period. Our denturists at Complete Care Denture Clinic have the necessary skills and expertise to provide the best solutions to meet your needs.
POST IMMEDIATE DENTURES
The entire process of immediate dentures can take up to 3-6 weeks depending on the healing factor. They are made to look as close to standard dentures when it comes to look and feel. Besides, you can be requested for a denture-fitting session before the design is completed to ensure maximum aesthetics, fit, and comfort. Generally, making the final decision to go for immediate or post-immediate dentures is up to you. However, it may be the only option in certain cases. Hence, you can consult our licensed denturist to learn what’s best for you so that you can make the important decision yourself.
PARTIAL DENTURES
In comparison to complete dentures, partial dentures are a viable option for those who are missing only a few of their natural teeth. A removable prosthesis is a special device that helps to hold the artificial teeth in the mouth. These are attached to the existing teeth with the help of clasps. Generally, they are made of special resilient metal alloy or plastic that rests upon and is wrapped around the teeth. They are usually thin and finger-like in nature. Clasps help to secure the prosthesis but they can be removed for normal brushing of remaining teeth and also for cleaning.
BENEFITS OF PARTIAL DENTURES
Increased ability to chew naturally without any problems
Help preserve the existing natural teeth
Aid in preventing problems of TMJ (jaw joint)
Ability to talk better and smile more confidently
Much economic way of replacing missing teeth
Crowning teeth is not necessary to fit partial denture in most cases
Partial dentures made of valplast, chrome, or acrylic
Expected to last 5 years on a case-to-case basis
EXAMPLES OF PARTIAL DENTURES
Denturists will recommend you get your partial dentures periodically checked at intervals of 6 months. This is necessary as loose partial dentures can cause problems like sores and may even damage existing teeth. Hence, get in touch with us immediately if you start feeling discomfort for an extended period of time.
