Denture Implants
Denture Information
Do you have a loved one that wears a denture? It’s not uncommon for seniors living in residential facilities to wear removable prosthetics. Their denture is something they rely on in order to eat comfortably, maintain proper body weight, and communicate with their friends, family, and the facility staff.
Just like a natural smile, dentures can also wear out or need to be updated. An ill-fitting “plate” can cause soreness, decrease in appetite, and even harbor infection when not carefully maintained. As such, it’s important that seniors have access to a mobile dentist that strives to ensure that they feel comfortable and confident in their denture.
Oral Examination & Consultation
Before any work can be done for patient, our denturist Leon Kofman. will have an open discussion with a patient to assess their expectations and needs. A preliminary intra-oral examination is preformed to assess the clinical situation, then a treatment plan with clear outcomes is devised. The utmost care is taken by Jacques to assure that the patient is informed of all the options available, and that the dignity and choices of patients are always respected. After reaching informed consent to provide the required removable prosthetic services the process of making the denture/appliance can begin.
Implant Retained Dentures
Usually, when you lose a tooth, it is best for your oral health to have it replaced. Missing teeth can affect your “bite” as well as your ability to speak and chew. Their loss can increase the burden on your remaining teeth and can cause muscle pain in your jaws and headaches. And of course, losing a tooth can affect your appearance. The following information reviews replacing missing teeth with an implant retained denture. Although many patients have no problem wearing an upper denture, some people find it difficult to wear and eat with lower dentures. Several implant-supported replacement options are available if you are missing all of your lower teeth.
Cleanings / Denture Soak
Dentures need to be cleaned, too! Otherwise bacteria on them can lead to infections such as thrush. RiverEdge includes a free denture bath with their treatment.
