DENTURES

Types of dentures

IMMEDIATE DENTURES

Immediate dentures are available while a complete set of permanent dentures is being made, and can be immediately put in once the teeth are removed. Dentures may require adjustments once healing takes place, and achieving optimal comfort and fit could take several appointments.

CONVENTIONAL DENTURES

This full removable denture is made and placed in your mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed, which may take several months.

OVERDENTURES

Sometimes some of your teeth can be saved to preserve your jawbone and provide stability and support for the denture. An overdenture fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth after they have been prepared by your dentist. Implants can serve the same function, too.

HOW TO CARE FOR DENTURES

After you receive your dentures, you’ll be instructed on how to properly clean them to eliminate bacteria and other particle buildup. Make sure to handle your dentures carefully, and make sure not to bend or damage the appliance. It is important to clean your mouth and brush your dentures daily, and to soak the dentures overnight with a mild soaking solution.

SCHEDULE REGULAR CHECKUPS

Even with dentures, regular dental check ups are still necessary to have your dentures examined and professionally cleaned. Dr. Ho can also help make sure your dentures still have a proper fit to prevent slippage and discomfort. And with any check up, Dr. Ho will also examine the inside of your mouth to make sure it’s healthy.
