dentures

When you get one or more teeth removed, you may ask yourself, "Do I really need false teeth? I still have most of my teeth, so can’t I continue with my life as normal?” While this is a fair assumption, it’s not the best one—for you or your mouth. Missing teeth can lead to severe bone loss and facial sagging. As your teeth shift to fill in the gaps, your bite changes, the nearby teeth and gums can become infected and diseased, and you may even need those remaining teeth removed. At Complete Health Dentistry, we make sure your smile stays intact and healthy with dentures.

Unlike implants or even bridges, dentures are the flexible teeth replacement option capable of restoring anywhere between one and all of your teeth at once! With partial dentures, we can easily replace one or more of your teeth in a single area of your mouth and have them blend in flawlessly with their neighbors.

You can also completely transform and restore your bite with full dentures, the most affordable full-mouth tooth replacement option. Our dentists are incredible when designing dental prosthetics so you can rest easy knowing yours will fit snugly in your mouth just as they should, even without any denture glue or adhesive.

The cosmetic dentures of today are not like your grandparents' dentures. Modern false teeth are comfortable to wear and look surprisingly natural. With porcelain and acrylic resin options available, you can be sure that your dentures look and act like real teeth, resulting in a beautiful smile that looks nothing like false teeth. Advancements in denture dentistry have also allowed for the possibility of flexible bases, meaning your new teeth can always feel comfortable in your mouth.

At Complete Health Dentistry of Woodland Hills, we know that standard dentures aren’t for everyone. Some people want a little more stability with their new teeth, and we’re ready to help you achieve it with implant-supported dentures, or permanent dentures.

With dental implants, you can have your dentures stay fixed in your mouth, without the need for constant removal and cleaning after eating or before you go to bed. However, for patients who prefer it, some permanent dentures options are fully removable. These connect to the metal implant post and are easily detachable and re-attachable.

The benefits of choosing dentures with implants:

- Improved speech and eating. Whether they’re removable or fixed, implant-supported dentures stabilize your bite without any of the slight shifting you’d expect with regular dentures.
- Reduce bone loss. Implant-supported dentures also stimulate bone growth in your jaw, something that the body naturally stops when you have your teeth extracted. This can keep the structure and shape of your face strong and intact.
- Boost your confidence. Many patients end up feeling more confident in their smile with a smile restoration option that’s stable and both looks and feels great.

Many people think that they no longer need any trips to the dentist once they get false teeth. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Annual dental exams are strongly recommended even for patients with full-mouth dentures. We want you to get the most out of your cosmetic restorations by confirming they continue to fit correctly in your mouth and ensuring your gum line remains free from infection.

Cosmetic dentures can become misaligned and cause you problems with your bite. This may result in TMJ, locking or popping of the jaw, severe headaches, pain, and discomfort. False teeth also need to be cleaned regularly after each meal and before bedtime to clear out any food, plaque, and bacteria that can ruin the appliance and cause you serious dental health problems down the line, such as dental decay, gum disease, and even pneumonia.

Eventually, your prosthetic will require repair if you have a full set of false teeth or partial dentures. Denture adhesive and super glue won’t cut it, either. Dental dentures should be replaced entirely every 7 to 10 years to ensure the lifelong health of your gums and mouth.

Our doctors are artisan professionals who are very eager to help you and are very talented with denture repair and replacement. If you have questions about maintaining your dentures in Woodland Hills, please call us today at (818) 225-0046 or request an appointment online. We look forward to hearing from you.
