Everything You Need to Know About Dentures
For some individuals, going for dentures might be a challenging decision. After all, you’ve had the same adult teeth for most of your life — and now we’re going to get rid of them? Remember that it’s a process that happens in dentist offices throughout the country every day. In the modern United States, it’s just a natural part of becoming older now.
That said, we know you likely have many questions about the process. The best way to get direct answers to your specific questions is to contact California Dental Group at (800) 407-0161 to make an appointment with a dentist who can go over your restorative dental options. In the meantime, keep reading to get the facts.
The Process is Over More Quickly Than You Likely Expect
Depending on the health of your present teeth, this can be a bit uncomfortable because we have to remove all the remaining teeth in order to supply you with dentures that will fit properly. If quite a few have to be pulled out, your dentist may do the top and bottom parts independently. While this can cause some people to worry, the truth is that once this is done, it’s over for good.
You Will Leave with Dentures
You will go home with dentures to use, though they will not be your permanent dentures. We need time to make them for your exact specifications. That said, we know you do not want to go home with nothing so we send you home with instant, temporary dentures.
There Is Another Reason for Temporary Dentures
If we fit you with permanent dentures the moment we pulled all the necessary teeth, you would need to have them remade sooner rather than later. This is because major tooth pieces have been removed from the gum line, and that area will be filled up, causing the gums to shrink. Your gums will become more compressed throughout the healing process following tooth extraction, and your immediate dentures will no longer fit correctly. This is a wonderful incentive to make an appointment with your dentist for the permanent set.
