Partial and Complete Dentures
At Dentaneva Dental Clinic, our partial and complete dentures offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth. These removable prosthetics restore your smile’s appearance and functionality, tailored to your needs. Whether you’ve lost a few or all of your teeth, our expert team uses advanced technology to craft dentures that feel comfortable and look natural.
Types of Dentures
1- Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are designed for patients who have lost all teeth in one or both jaws. They come in two forms: immediate and conventional. Immediate dentures are placed right after tooth extraction, serving as a temporary solution while your gums heal. Adjustments may be needed for a perfect fit. Conventional dentures, crafted after your mouth has healed, are custom-made based on precise impressions (97% imaging accuracy) for optimal comfort and durability, requiring a waiting period for lab fabrication.
2- Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for those with some remaining natural teeth. These prosthetics fill gaps while preserving your existing teeth, designed to fit seamlessly around them. Using detailed impressions, our team creates dentures that blend naturally with your smile. Optional crowns can enhance the appearance of remaining teeth, tailored to your aesthetic goals.
How Long Is the Treatment Period with Dentures?
The denture process at Dentaneva begins with addressing any oral health issues, such as gum disease or cavities, to ensure a healthy foundation. Next, our team, led by specialists like Dt. Mehmet Çetin, meticulously designs your dentures. This involves creating detailed models and molds of your jaws to study bite alignment, ensuring a comfortable fit. Impressions are sent to a lab for crafting, which takes about a week. With our advanced technology, placement is swift, delivering dentures that offer strong grip and a natural feel.
Advantages:
- Provides a natural, lifelike appearance.
- Restores chewing and speaking abilities.
- Prevents facial sagging by supporting cheeks and lips.
- Custom-designed for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Durable, lasting up to 5 years with proper care.
Do They Feel Normal?
Dentures lack the root structure of natural teeth, so adapting to them takes time. At Dentaneva, we guide you through this transition. Start with soft foods to ease into chewing, gradually introducing harder foods over a few weeks. While dentures restore essential functions, avoid sticky, chewy, or overly hard foods to maintain their integrity. Our team provides personalized tips to ensure a smooth adjustment.
What to Expect After Placement?
After receiving your dentures, we recommend wearing them continuously for the first week to identify any discomfort, such as looseness or clicking during speech. Our team, backed by 15 years of expertise, will make precise adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. Regular follow-ups help address any issues, ensuring your dentures feel secure and functional.
How to Take Care of Dentures
Proper denture care is essential for longevity. After the initial week, remove your dentures nightly and soak them in a specialized cleaning solution to maintain hygiene and allow your gums to rest. Brush your dentures daily to prevent buildup, and visit Dentaneva for professional cleanings (99% sterilization protocols) to keep them in top condition.
Alternatives to Dentures
While dentures are an affordable choice, some patients prefer dental implants for their permanence, though they are costlier and require a longer treatment period (up to 6 months). A middle ground is the All-on-4 implant system, using four implants per jaw for enhanced stability and better bite function. With triple the lifespan of dentures, All-on-4 offers a robust alternative, which our team can discuss during your free consultation.
What Are Denture Adhesives?
Denture adhesives, available as pastes or powders, enhance the stability of your dentures, improving bite control and security. They’re particularly helpful for patients with dry mouth conditions or those with demanding speaking roles. While not essential for everyone, our dentists, including Dr. Emine Çağlar Karslı, can recommend the best adhesive based on your needs, ensuring comfort and confidence.
