Dentures to fit your mouth perfectly

Comments Off

Dentures have been used for many years now and are a popular means of replacing damaged or lost teeth. Losing a tooth is very common and is usually the result of an accident or injury or severe tooth decay. Decay and gum disease may cause the tooth to become severely damaged and if the tooth cannot be rescued by means of root canal treatment or restoration, it may have to be extracted.

Most people associated dentures with older people who have lost their original teeth; however, dentures can be used to treat people of all ages and new advances in technology mean that dentures are more discreet and lighter than ever before.

Dentures may be used to replace a small or large number of missing teeth; dentures may be partial or complete depending on the amount of teeth they are replacing. It is vital to replace missing teeth because gaps in the teeth can affect the way you eat and speak, as well as making the smile look less attractive.

Dentures are designed to fit the patient’s mouth perfectly; during the initial consultation the dentist will make an impression of the patient’s mouth, which will be sent away to the dental laboratory so that the dentures can be based on the specific shape and measurements of the person’s mouth.

Fitting dentures is a common dental job and most Kent dentists offer this service.  Nowadays, there is a large range of dentures on offer, including some cosmetic dentures that are specifically designed to create a beautiful, natural looking smile.
