Overview: A Fresh Start for Your Smile
For patients who have lost all of their natural teeth in an upper or lower arch due to decay, gum disease, or trauma, full dentures offer a time-tested and effective restorative solution. Unlike the "false teeth" of the past, today's dentures are crafted using advanced acrylics and ceramic materials that mimic the translucency and color variations of natural tooth enamel and gum tissue.
A full denture consists of a gum-colored base supporting a full set of replacement teeth. It is held in place by suction (for the upper jaw) or gravity and muscle control (for the lower jaw), often aided by denture adhesive. Beyond simply replacing teeth, a well-made denture provides critical support for your facial muscles. Without teeth, the face can sag, leading to a prematurely aged appearance; our dentures restore this facial volume, giving you a more youthful and vibrant look while enabling you to enjoy a nutritious diet.
Benefits of Modern Full Dentures
Choosing our custom-crafted dentures provides immediate and lasting advantages for your health and appearance:
Restored Facial Aesthetics: Dentures support the lips and cheeks, preventing the "sunken" look associated with tooth loss and instantly rejuvenating your appearance.
Cost-Effective Restoration: Full dentures remain one of the most affordable ways to replace a full arch of teeth compared to surgical alternatives.
Natural-Looking Results: We customize the shape, shade, and size of the teeth to complement your unique facial features, ensuring your smile looks realistic, not artificial.
Improved Speech & Chewing: Replacing missing teeth allows you to pronounce words clearly again and grind food effectively for better digestion.
Non-Invasive Treatment: For many patients, dentures provide a complete smile makeover without the need for invasive oral surgery or bone grafting.
Our Process: Crafting Your Custom Smile
We take a meticulous approach to ensure your dentures fit securely and look exactly how you want them to.
Consultation & Assessment:
We perform a thorough exam of your gums and underlying bone structure to ensure you are a healthy candidate and discuss your aesthetic goals for your new smile.
Precise Impressions:
We take highly accurate molds and measurements of your jaw to create a model; this ensures the final denture base will contour perfectly to your gums for maximum suction and comfort.
Wax Try-In & Adjustments:
A wax model of your denture is created for you to try on; this allows us to verify the fit, check the bite, and let you approve the look of the teeth before the final version is made.
Final Fitting & Delivery:
You receive your permanent, custom-crafted dentures, and we make any necessary minor adjustments to the base or bite to ensure no pressure spots exist before you go home smiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will my dentures look like fake teeth?
Not at Smyrna Dental Studio. We reject the "one-size-fits-all" approach. We work with top-tier dental labs to select teeth that match your desired shade and shape, ensuring they complement your face and look indistinguishable from natural teeth.
2. How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
There is a learning curve. For the first few weeks, your mouth may produce more saliva, and you may need to practice speaking certain words aloud. As your cheek and tongue muscles learn to hold the denture in place, eating and speaking will become second nature.
3. Do I need to use denture adhesive?
A well-fitting upper denture often relies on natural suction and may not need adhesive. Lower dentures can be trickier due to tongue movement, so a small amount of adhesive can provide extra security. If your dentures feel very loose, they may need a reline or adjustment by our team.
4. Can I sleep in my dentures?
We strongly recommend removing your dentures at night. This gives your gum tissues a chance to rest and "breathe," promoting better blood flow and oral health. It also allows you to soak the dentures to keep them clean and hydrated.
5. How long do full dentures last?
On average, full dentures last 5 to 7 years. Over time, your jawbone naturally changes shape (shrinks), which can cause the fit to become loose. Regular dental visits allow us to "reline" the denture to maintain a snug fit or determine when a replacement is necessary.
