If you含羞草研究社檙e a candidate for dentures, you may have a lot of questions 含羞草研究社� and some concerns 含羞草研究社� both about the initial process and how to maintain the dentures.
Below, we explore four of the most common questions with Madison Eschbach, of .
1. I think I may need dentures 含羞草研究社� what do I do first?
An initial consultation will get you started. The Kasper team uses this first visit to review their approach to dentures, and share with you the methods available to increase your satisfaction with your dentures. You含羞草研究社檒l be provided with a written treatment plan and your denturist can submit to your insurance for pre-approval or eligibility.
含羞草研究社淭he consultation is complimentary, and you don含羞草研究社檛 have to start right then,含羞草研究社� Eschbach says. 含羞草研究社淟et us know if you含羞草研究社檒l be having some or all of your teeth removed, and then we can make a plan. We含羞草研究社檒l discuss price options and next steps, and if you haven含羞草研究社檛 seen a dentist yet, we can take care of sending a referral for you.含羞草研究社�
2. Can I have dentures put in the same day as teeth removal?
The simple answer is, yes. These are called immediate dentures, and they can be made ahead of time to be inserted at the time of the extractions, or you can wait a few days for your mouth to start healing.
含羞草研究社淚mmediate placement is actually recommended for better long term results when adjusting to a first-time denture,含羞草研究社� Eschbach says. 含羞草研究社淚t helps control the healing so that your gums can form into the shape of the denture.含羞草研究社�
3. Can my partial denture be colour matched to my remaining natural teeth?
The team at Kasper Denture are highly trained in the art of colour and shade matching, and will discuss options before getting started.
含羞草研究社淓very tooth brand provides us with a range of different samples to colour match with,含羞草研究社� Eschbach says. 含羞草研究社淲e can also whiten your natural teeth, or custom stain the dentures if it含羞草研究社檚 an in-between shade, for a truer match. Your second-last visit is called the try-in appointment 含羞草研究社� where we set your dentures in wax to try them on. This ensures you含羞草研究社檙e happy with the shade before we actually set them in acrylic.含羞草研究社�
4. I have implants under my denture, but my denture has become loose. Why?
With implants placed a long time ago, without follow-up maintenance visits, such problems can occur. Over time the bone shrinks beneath dentures, causing the dentures to slip and slide, or the attachment parts get worn down with use.
含羞草研究社淭his means you need to get these parts 含羞草研究社� called abutments and o-rings 含羞草研究社� maintained,含羞草研究社� Eschbach says. 含羞草研究社淵our dentures will loosen over time, the more you take them in and out. Replacing these parts can give you a tight fit again.含羞草研究社�
