At Platinum Dental of West Jordan, we focus on restoring your smile and making sure you’re comfortable. Dentures are a dental solution that replace missing teeth and help restore your smile.
Our goal is to provide personalized dentures that fit securely, look natural, and allow you to enjoy life to the fullest.
Call us today at (801) 212-9061 and let’s get started on the path to your best smile.
Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and match your existing teeth, ensuring they look natural and feel comfortable. Getting used to dentures may take a little time, and they require regular cleaning just like natural teeth. They’re not just about looks; dentures also help with eating and speaking more easily, and they support the facial muscles to maintain your appearance. With proper care, dentures can significantly improve the quality of life for those with missing teeth.
There are several types of dentures available, each catering to different dental needs and preferences.
Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing. They cover the entire jaw, either upper or lower, and restore the full set of teeth.
Partial Dentures: Designed for those who still have some natural teeth. Partial dentures fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting.
Overdentures: Fit over a small number of remaining natural teeth or dental implants. These remaining teeth or implants provide support and stability to the denture.
Immediate Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extraction. They offer the benefit of not having to be without teeth during the healing period, but may require more adjustments as the gums heal and shrink.
Will dentures look natural?
Absolutely! Our dentures are carefully crafted to resemble your natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your facial features, ensuring a natural and beautiful smile.
Will dentures affect my ability to eat and speak?
Adapting to dentures may take some time, but with practice and patience, you’ll regain your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Our dental team will provide guidance and support throughout this adjustment period.
Dentures can be a major improvement in your life. If you have questions or are considering dentures, schedule an appointment with our friendly dental team. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priorities, and we look forward to helping you achieve a restored, confident smile. (801) 212-9061
The time frame for getting dentures can vary depending on the type of denture you need. In some cases, immediate dentures can be placed on the same day as tooth extraction, while conventional dentures require a healing period before placement.
Proper denture care is essential for their longevity and your oral health. Regularly clean your dentures, remove them at night to allow your gums to rest, and schedule regular dental check-ups for maintenance.
It’s generally recommended to remove dentures while sleeping to give your gums a chance to rest. This practice also allows for proper denture cleaning and maintenance.
With time and practice, you should be able to enjoy a wide variety of foods with dentures. Start with soft foods and gradually introduce more challenging textures.
Dentures can improve facial appearance by filling out the cheeks and lips, resulting in a more youthful look and enhanced facial support.
With proper care and regular check-ups, dentures can last for several years before requiring replacement or adjustments.
