Rediscover Your Smile with Complete Dentures

At Smiles and More, our expert team is dedicated to providing comfortable, natural-looking dentures that are custom-made in our dental clinic.

In this blog post, we’ll explore everything you need to know about complete dentures and how they can transform your life.

Understanding Complete Dentures

Complete dentures, often referred to as full dentures, are removable prosthetics designed to replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw or both. They are meticulously crafted to fit snugly against your gums and provide a natural look and feel.

Unlike partial dentures, which only replace a few missing teeth, complete dentures restore an entire arch of teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

The Importance of a Custom Fit

At Smiles and More, we understand that no two mouths are the same. That’s why our complete dentures are custom-made to ensure a perfect fit.

Our Clinical Dental Technicians and registered Dental Technicians use advanced techniques and materials to create dentures that not only look great but also feel comfortable.

A custom-fit is crucial for preventing sore spots, improving chewing efficiency, and ensuring that your dentures stay securely in place.

The Denture-Making Process

Creating complete dentures is a meticulous process that involves several stages. First, our team will take precise impressions of your gums to create a mould. This mould is then used to fabricate a preliminary set of dentures, which will be adjusted to ensure the best fit.

Once the fit is perfect, the final dentures are crafted using high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth.

Throughout the process, our skilled technicians pay close attention to detail, ensuring that your dentures are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Benefits of Complete Dentures

Improved Appearance

One of the most immediate benefits of complete dentures is the improvement in appearance.

Missing teeth can cause the facial muscles to sag, making you look older. Dentures restore the natural contours of your face, giving you a more youthful and attractive appearance.

Enhanced Chewing and Speaking

Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly and speak clearly. Complete dentures restore your ability to eat a wide range of foods and speak with confidence.

With a well-fitting set of dentures, you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite meals without discomfort or difficulty.

Boosted Self-Confidence

A beautiful smile can significantly boost your self-esteem. Complete dentures allow you to smile freely, knowing that your teeth look natural and attractive.

Whether you’re socialising with friends or meeting new people, you’ll feel more confident and at ease.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

When you visit Smiles and More for complete dentures, you can expect a comprehensive and personalised approach to your care.

Our team will begin with a thorough examination of your oral health and discuss your specific needs and preferences.

We’ll take the time to explain the denture-making process and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.

Adjusting to Your New Dentures

It’s important to remember that adjusting to new dentures can take some time. Initially, you may experience minor discomfort or difficulty speaking and eating. However, with patience and practice, these issues will gradually improve.

Our team at Smiles and More will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your dentures and make the adjustment period as smooth as possible.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care and maintenance are essential for keeping your dentures in excellent condition. Here are some tips to help you care for your complete dentures:

Clean Your Dentures Daily: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive.

Handle with Care: Dentures can be fragile, so handle them gently to avoid dropping and damaging them. When cleaning, it’s a good idea to do so over a sink filled with water or a soft towel.

Store Correctly: When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in a denture-soaking solution or plain water. This helps to maintain their shape and prevent them from drying out.

Common Concerns About Dentures

Will Dentures Look Natural?

How Long Will My Dentures Last?

With proper care, complete dentures can last for many years. However, it’s important to schedule regular check-ups with our team to ensure that your dentures remain in good condition and fit properly.

Can I Sleep with My Dentures In?

It’s generally recommended to remove your dentures at night to give your gums a chance to rest. However, if you prefer to sleep with them in, be sure to follow our care instructions to keep them clean and comfortable.
