Dentures

Dentures

Dentures offer a functional and aesthetic solution for missing teeth, restoring not only the ability to eat and speak comfortably but also the confidence of a complete smile. Dr. Nivaidita Rastogi, a seasoned BDS Dental Surgeon, specializes in providing custom-fitted, high-quality dentures tailored to each patient's needs. This comprehensive guide covers the types of dentures, the fitting process, and the benefits of choosing Dr. Rastogi for your denture needs.

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissues. They’re crafted to restore the function and appearance of natural teeth, helping people maintain their quality of life even after losing their teeth.

Full Dentures

Full or complete dentures are ideal for those who have lost all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They rest on the gums and are typically made of acrylic or porcelain teeth attached to a base that mimics gum tissue.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base and are supported by metal clasps that anchor to existing teeth.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed right after tooth extraction, allowing patients to have teeth while the gums heal. Dr. Rastogi creates these as temporary solutions until permanent dentures are ready.

Process

The Denture Fitting Process

  • Initial Consultation and Assessment

    • Dr. Rastogi begins with a consultation to understand the patient's needs and evaluate the best denture options. She assesses oral health and discusses preferences, helping patients make an informed choice.

  • Taking Impressions and Measurements

    • Once a treatment plan is in place, Dr. Rastogi takes precise impressions of the patient’s gums and remaining teeth to create a custom fit. These measurements ensure that the dentures fit comfortably and securely.

  • Fitting and Adjustments

    • After the dentures are crafted, Dr. Rastogi conducts a fitting session. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure comfort, proper alignment, and functionality, giving patients a seamless experience.

Benefits

Benefits of Dentures

Improved Appearance and Confidence

Dentures can significantly improve a person’s smile, restoring lost facial volume and structure. Patients often experience a boost in self-esteem, feeling more comfortable and confident.

Better Chewing and Digestion

With properly fitted dentures, chewing becomes easier, improving digestion and nutrient absorption by enabling patients to eat a variety of foods.

Improved Speech

Missing teeth can affect speech, making it difficult to pronounce certain words. Dentures restore speech clarity, enabling patients to speak more naturally.

General Information

Most people adjust to dentures within a few weeks. Dr. Rastogi provides guidance on easing into this transition and tips for a comfortable adjustment.

Dentures typically last 5-10 years. Regular check-ups with Dr. Rastogi can help determine when they need to be replaced or relined.

While possible, it’s generally recommended to remove dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to reduce the risk of bacterial buildup.

Contact Dr. Rastogi for an adjustment. She can assess any changes in your mouth and modify the dentures for a secure fit.

Use a soft brush and mild denture cleaner. Avoid abrasive toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface. Dr. Rastogi provides thorough cleaning instructions to keep dentures in good condition.
