Dentures are an option chosen by many of our patients at Hoye Dental. Available in both full and partial, dentures serve as a removable replacement for missing teeth.
If providing patients with full dentures, Dr. Kathleen Hoye will remove all the teeth from the patient’s mouth. With conventional dentures, the gums are given time to heal before the dentures are placed, which means that the patient does not have any teeth for several months. With immediate dentures, you would forgo this healing process with no teeth. Prior to having your teeth removed, the dentist would take measurements of your mouth in order to place dentures immediately after your teeth are removed. This type of full dentures requires a follow-up video to refit the dentures since the jaw bone will slightly change shape as your mouth heals.
Partial dentures are another option for those who do not need all their teeth to be removed. They are similar to bridges, except they are removable.
Whichever dentures our patients choose, they take time getting used to, and even though they are not real teeth, dentures should still be cared for as if they were. They should be brushed before removal and should be placed in room temperature water or cleaning solution overnight.
To find out if dentures are the right choice for you, schedule an appointment with us at either of our locations. Call 508-823-1600 for our Taunton, MA office and 781-444-4647 for our Needham, MA office. Visit www.HoyeDental.com for more information.
