Restoring Oral Function With Dentures

Restoring Oral Function With Dentures from Hemet Dental Center: Brian Stiewel DDS, INC. in Hemet, CA Dentures can help restore your smile and bring back your dental functions. Smiling, speaking, and eating improve with these restorations. Your dentist can help you gain the most out of them. Here are the details on how dentures can restore your oral function.

Oral health enhancement

Research reveals that many dental problems can surface. Dentures can replace missing teeth right away. These restorations can enhance one’s oral health. They can improve the way one chews, which enables the patient to get enough nutrition. This can then improve a person’s oral function even more.

Self-esteem boost

Replacing at least one missing tooth is possible with dentures. The usual material is porcelain or acrylic. The surrounding gum tissue holds these restorations. Wearing them can support facial structures and improve a person’s looks. This gets rid of sagging skin and wrinkles.

Dentures also help improve the way a person smiles and laughs. This is possible by completing one’s upper or lower dental arches. The individual can then socialize. More opportunities can come up in the person’s career and personal life.

Speech improvement

Tooth loss can affect one’s speech. Studies show that teeth work with the tongue and the soft tissues of the mouth to form words. Dentures can fill in the dental spaces and fulfill the work of the missing teeth. The individual can then speak better. This can help the patient interact better with others.

Comfortable with a custom-fit

The dentist will make sure that the dentures fit well in the patient’s mouth. This is possible by taking scans and impressions of the patient’s dental arches. The jawbone will continue to change even when the patient wears these restorations. That is why the dentist must adjust the dentures regularly. This is essential in helping the patient achieve a better quality of life.

Low-maintenance dental replacements

It is important to remove dentures once or twice a day to clean them. Brushing them with a denture cleanser or mild soap, as well as a soft-bristled toothbrush, is enough to keep bacteria and food particles away. Using regular mouthwash is possible, but the patient must remove the restorations first. There are mouthwash brands that are formulated for denture wearers as well. Soaking the dentures overnight in a solution or plain water will keep them moist.

Making the dentures

The dentist will take impressions of the person’s lower and upper dental arches. There will be a primary and final set of impressions. The lab will need these impressions to create a stone replica of the patient’s teeth and gums. This model will be necessary in creating the patient’s dentures.

Wax registration blocks aid the lab technician in finding out where to attach the artificial teeth. There will be different materials in building the base of these restorations. Adding the artificial teeth will follow. This will make the upper and lower teeth come together without issue.

Taking care of dentures

The dentist will make adjustments during the fitting. Doing so will make sure that the restorations are comfortable to wear. These removable dental replacements can last for a long time with proper care and maintenance. Below are some tips to do so:

  • Brush every part of the mouth to make sure there are no food particles or plaque left
  • Brush the dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture cleanser
  • Remove them before bed to rest the gums
  • Soak them in denture solution overnight
