Removable Dentures
Traditional removable dentures are a common dental solution for people who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. These dentures are designed to fit over the gums and jawbone, and are removable for cleaning and maintenance.
The process of getting traditional removable dentures typically involves multiple dental appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist will take impressions of the patient's mouth and jawbone, as well as measurements to ensure a proper fit. The dentist may also take photos and x-rays to help with the denture design.
Once the dentures are fabricated in a dental laboratory, the patient will return to the dentist's office for fitting and adjustments. The dentist may need to adjust the shape or fit of the dentures to ensure they are comfortable and functional.
While traditional removable dentures can provide a cost-effective solution for tooth loss, they can also have some drawbacks. The dentures may feel bulky or uncomfortable, and may require a period of adjustment for the patient to get used to them. Some patients may experience difficulty speaking or eating with the dentures, and they may need to be adjusted or replaced over time as the shape of the jawbone changes.
It is important for patients with traditional removable dentures to maintain good oral hygiene habits, including daily cleaning of the dentures and regular dental checkups. They should also avoid eating sticky or hard foods that could damage the dentures or cause them to slip out of place.
Overall, traditional removable dentures can be a viable option for patients who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. However, patients should be aware of the potential drawbacks and the better options that exist now, and work closely with their dentist to ensure the dentures fit properly and are comfortable and functional.
Dentures can range in cost depending on what materials are used and where you're located. They can range from $1400-$2200 per arch. Dental insurance may cover the cost of dentures, depending on the individual policy. Patients should check with their insurance provider to determine their coverage and out-of-pocket costs. If not covered by insurance we offer financing through third-parties that can be used for dentures and any other dental work needed.
