Dentures
Dentures in Forest Hills, Queens
The loss of even one tooth poses a problem that goes beyond aesthetics. If a tooth is missing, the other teeth experience extra stress. It becomes difficult to chew food and the whole row of teeth may shift. In addition it’s even possible the shape of a persons face may change.
It is easy to solve this problem with the help of teeth replacement. It is one of the most common and most effective procedures in dentistry. We offer modern types of dentures that look natural and do not create difficulties in daily use. They have nothing to do with the proverbial “false teeth in a glass” that you may imagine.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial teeth. This is a fully or partially removable orthopedic device designed to replace several or all missing teeth in a dental arch. Although dentures are often associated with false teeth for the elderly, they can be prescribed at any age.
Upper dentures usually cover part of the upper palate, while lower dentures are U-shaped to provide enough room for the tongue. They are very practical and easy to insert or remove whenever you wish. If the owner wants to clean them, they can easily do so.
Full and partial dentures are usually made from acrylic resin, a material similar to plastic, with a small amount of metal added.
When Does a Dentist Recommend Removable Prosthesis?
- If it is very difficult or impossible to install implants.
- When teeth are lost due to factors associated with aging.
- If the patient has a severe form of periodontitis and it is not possible to save the teeth.
- If they are unable to install dental bridges because of unreliable attachment to the remaining teeth.
- After a serious physical injury followed by partial or complete loss of teeth.
Dental prosthetic treatment allows you to restore natural chewing, pronunciation and phonation. It is also used to solve aesthetic problems and ensure the patient’s comfort.
Do Dentures Feel Comfortable?
A new denture may feel uncomfortable or bulky for the first few weeks. However, over time it will feel completely natural it in your mouth. You may also need some time to learn how to insert and remove the device. It’s all a matter of practice.
It is important that immediately after installation, the doctor will ask you to wear the denture permanently. Although this may be inconvenient, it is the quickest way to identify the parts that need to be adjusted. If the prosthesis puts too much pressure on a particular area, it will hurt. The orthopedic device can be adjusted to fit more comfortably.
After installing “new teeth”, you will also need to change your diet a bit. You should start by eating pureed foods or soft products cut into small pieces. Chew using both sides of your mouth to maintain even pressure on your denture. Avoid sticky foods, including chewing gum. You should refrain from solid foods such as: apples, nuts, or crackers until you fully get used to the false teeth.
