Dentures

I was so happy with
all aspects of my treatment with Dr. Sheldon and his staff. Their care and concern went far beyond anything I had previously experienced in a
dental or periodontal office.

Every person wants to display a healthy smile. When a tooth or teeth are missing, one may hide their mouth when laughing, smiling or speaking, and may feel a total lack of confidence as a result. Dentures have been and still are a viable solution to restore function and appearance when teeth are missing. When considering this particular dental device, it is also important to consider the dentist who will create your custom dentures. Your smile is your own, and Dr. Sheldon and his specially selected restorative dentists make sure to personalize dentures to most naturally suit every individual patient.

Living with missing teeth is not an option, as normal function in chewing is vital to the entire digestion process. When teeth are missing, the digestion process is impacted from the very start. This may lead to poor digestive function and further health complications. Moreover, when teeth are missing, the bone in the jaw changes over time, greatly impacting the appearance. The solution to this problem is to visit your dentist to discuss the best dentures for your unique circumstances.

The first step of creating custom dentures is to remove teeth, if necessary. Once gums are completely healed, the dentist will take impressions in order to evaluate the shape of the jaw bone. Dr. Sheldon also looks at how much space is between the upper and lower jaw bones in order to most properly fit dentures. From the impressions taken, models are crafted and sent to the lab where the permanent denture will be made. Our dental team will help you select the most appropriate colors for your new dentures. You will choose the color for teeth as well as gums, as both are visible when you smile and speak. During the time when permanent dentures are being fabricated in the lab, a patient may be fitted with a temporary denture device so they may feel comfortable with their appearance.

Dentures are effective at restoring function when teeth are missing, and eliminate the worry of tooth decay. However, it is necessary to maintain regular maintenance and oral check-ups when wearing these devices, as gum health is always a priority.
