Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before!
The first step in the denture treatment process is a thorough consultation and examination with your Foothill Ranch dentist. During this appointment, Dr. Sarno will assess your oral health, discuss your dental history, and determine if dentures are the right solution for you. You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process, ensuring you're fully informed and comfortable moving forward.
Once it's determined that dentures are the best option for you, the next step is to take impressions and measurements of your mouth. These are used to create dentures that fit your mouth perfectly and match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. At Foothill Modern Dental, we use state-of-the-art technology to ensure the most accurate results.
The final step in the process is the fitting of your new dentures. Once your custom dentures are ready, you'll return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Sarno will adjust your dentures as necessary to ensure a comfortable fit and a natural look. He will also provide you with instructions on how to care for your new dentures to ensure they last as long as possible.
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth will shift or lean into the space where your old tooth was. This can lead to crooked teeth, a misaligned bite, and can make replacing the tooth more difficult if the surrounding teeth begin drifting into the space. You will then need orthodontic treatment to correct your misaligned teeth so you can replace the tooth. This is why it’s important to replace a missing tooth right away. Unlike dentures, bridges are fixed in place with dental cement so you don’t have to worry about them moving or falling out.
Missing teeth can make it difficult to speak clearly and eat certain foods. Dentures can help resolve these issues, allowing you to speak more clearly and enjoy a wider variety of foods.
With proper care, dentures can last for many years, making them a cost-effective and long-lasting solution to missing teeth. They are also non-invasive, making them a good option for those who are not candidates for dental implants.
Dentures have been used for centuries, with the earliest known set dating back to 700 BC!
