Dentures: A Great Teeth Replacement Option

Dr. Michael Hall of Hall Family Dentistry in North Augusta, SC, provides patients with dentures to restore function to the mouth and get them smiling again! If you are missing multiple teeth, dentures could be the best tooth-replacement option for you.

What are dentures?

Dentures are made of a set of ceramic crowns attached to a plastic tray that fits over the gums. A combination of natural suction and adhesive if needed helps keep dentures in place for you to eat and smile like you would with natural teeth! Dentures can be life-changing for those with tooth loss, but it's also a lifestyle change and commitment to live with and care for dentures.

Getting Dentures

The process for getting dentures will take a couple of appointments but leaves you with a full set of beautiful teeth that you can remove for cleaning. First, molds will be taken from your mouth to ensure a perfect fit when the dentures are fabricated. Dentures will fit directly over and blend in with your gums.

Dentures will take some getting used to and there is always an adjustment period with chewing and speaking before you are totally comfortable. Look out for sore spots on your gums, as this is a sign there is truly a problem with the fit and you need an adjustment.

Caring for dentures

Taking care of your dentures is a commitment but to get the best benefit out of your dentures, it's best to brush them every day, and soak them every night. Handle your dentures with care, drops are the number one cause of cracks and breaks in your dentures. If you do have a crack or break, do not attempt to fix it yourself with an at-home kit. Contact your dentist and get an appointment for a repair as soon as you can.

If you are missing multiple teeth, dentures could be the solution for you. Dr. Michael Hall of Hall Family Dentistry gives patients new smiles with dentures. Contact us for an appointment in North Augusta, SC, at (803) 278-2223.
