Partials and Full Dentures in Atlanta GA
Your teeth are an important part of your life, but it can be tough to figure out what to do about it when you lose them. You have options for tooth loss, and making the right choice will determine how you can perform afterward. Many people prefer dentures over implant surgery or bridgework. 3640 Dental offers both partial and full dentures to patients with tooth loss.
How Are Partials and Dentures Made?
Partials and dentures are made to match your natural teeth’ size, shape, color, and shade. The process starts with a mold or impression being taken from your mouth to be used as a model for carving out an acrylic base.
This is done by taking impressions of all your teeth at once. This determines how much gum tissue will need to be trimmed away for the new set of teeth to fit comfortably inside your mouth.
A full dental exam is also performed during this time, including x-rays and photographs of each jaw joint area where partials or dentures would go. We can determine any bone deterioration around the joints from these images before starting work on matching you with one of our expertly crafted sets of partials or dentures.
Once the dentist has a proper mold of your mouth, your dentures are sent to the lab for creation.
Who Should Get Partials or Dentures?
Partials and dentures are ideal for people with:
- Ample gum tissue to work with to make a sturdy set of teeth.
- A jaw joint that is not too deteriorated or cracked from bone resorption.
- Mobility issues will prevent them from brushing, flossing, etc., independently.
