What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. At Bow Tie Dentist, Dr. Saimon Ramos ensures that each set of dentures is custom-made to suit the patient’s specific anatomy, providing a natural look and comfortable fit.

Dentures can make a significant difference in daily life—they not only improve your ability to eat and speak but also maintain facial structure and give you back your smile. We offer both full dentures, which replace an entire arch of teeth, and partial dentures for those missing only a few teeth. With modern advancements in dental technology, dentures today are more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing than ever before.

The Dentures Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

Dr. Ramos believes in taking the time to truly understand each patient’s needs. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your dental history, lifestyle, and goals. This allows us to determine whether full or partial dentures are the best option for you.

Impressions and Custom Design

Once we’ve decided on the right solution, Dr. Ramos will take detailed impressions of your mouth. These impressions allow us to create custom dentures tailored to your jaw structure, ensuring maximum comfort and a secure fit. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose the shade and style of your new teeth, making sure they complement your natural appearance.

Fabrication and Fitting

Your dentures will be carefully crafted by our skilled technicians, using high-quality materials to ensure durability and comfort. Once they are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. Dr. Ramos will make sure your dentures fit snugly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to ensure the best result.

Follow-up Appointments and Adjustments

It’s common for patients to need minor adjustments after wearing their new dentures for a few weeks. Dr. Ramos will work with you to ensure your dentures are functioning well and feeling comfortable, scheduling follow-up appointments as needed to fine-tune the fit.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care is essential to maintaining the longevity of your dentures. Dr. Ramos and his team will guide you through the best cleaning techniques, including how to brush and store your dentures overnight. Regular check-ups will help ensure that your dentures continue to fit well and remain in top condition.

What to Expect After Getting Dentures

It’s normal for new denture wearers to experience a period of adjustment. Dr. Ramos will provide advice on easing into life with dentures, including tips for eating and speaking. Over time, most patients find that dentures feel natural and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will dentures affect my speech?

Initially, you may experience slight changes in your speech as you adjust to your new dentures. However, with practice, most patients find their speech returns to normal within a few weeks.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes! While it may take some time to get used to eating with dentures, most patients quickly adapt. Dr. Ramos will provide tips on starting with softer foods and gradually moving to a more varied diet.

How do I care for my dentures?

It’s important to clean your dentures daily by brushing them with a soft toothbrush and denture cleaner. Additionally, you should store them in water or a denture solution when not in use to prevent them from drying out.

How often do I need to replace my dentures?

With proper care, dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years. However, as your mouth changes over time, adjustments or replacements may be necessary to ensure the best fit.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

It’s recommended that you remove your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to prevent potential infections from bacteria build-up. Storing your dentures in a solution overnight helps keep them clean and ready for the next day.

What happens if my dentures feel uncomfortable?

If you experience discomfort with your dentures, Dr. Ramos can adjust them to improve the fit. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to ensure your dentures remain comfortable as your mouth adapts to them.
