3823 Guess Road, Suite PIf you have lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth benefits both your appearance and your health. Without support from teeth, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. Come to Dr. Simran Kaur or Dr. Matthew Garcia for dentures in Durham, North Carolina, and you will be able to eat and speak normally — things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost.
There are various types of complete dentures. A conventional full denture is made and placed in the patient’s mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed, which may take several months. An immediate, complete denture is inserted as soon as the remaining teeth are removed. Our dentists will take measurements and makes models of the patient’s jaws during their preliminary visit. With immediate dentures, the denture wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period.
Even if you wear full dentures, you still must take good care of your mouth. Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque before you insert your dentures. For tips on how to practice good oral hygiene with dentures, call our office at 919-479-5800 and speak with our team at Willowdaile Cosmetic and Family.
