At Songbird Dental Studio, we provide high-quality dentures to residents of Crawfordville and surrounding areas. Our team offers personalized denture solutions tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the most comfortable and natural-looking tooth replacement options. With our professional expertise and compassionate approach, we can help restore your smile and confidence.
Dentures come in several varieties, each designed to address different tooth loss situations. Understanding your options helps you make informed decisions about your dental health.
Complete dentures replace all teeth in either your upper or lower jaw. These full sets rest directly on your gums and are removable for cleaning and maintenance. Modern complete dentures are crafted to look natural and provide improved functionality compared to older models.
Partial dentures are ideal if you still have some healthy natural teeth. These prosthetics fill gaps between your remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting position while restoring your smile. Partial dentures typically attach to your natural teeth with unobtrusive clasps or precision attachments.
Implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability by connecting to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, implant-supported dentures may help preserve jawbone density by up to 75% more effectively than traditional dentures over a five-year period, maintaining facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance sometimes associated with long-term denture use.
Getting dentures involves several steps to ensure they fit properly and meet your needs. The process typically takes a few weeks and multiple appointments.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination, where we assess your oral health and discuss your goals and expectations. During this consultation, we take precise measurements and impressions of your mouth to create customized dentures.
Next, we create wax models or plastic patterns that simulate your future dentures. You’ll try these on to evaluate the appearance and fit, allowing adjustments before final fabrication.
Once the design is finalized, we craft your permanent dentures using high-quality materials. At your final appointment, we ensure proper fit and provide detailed care instructions. Follow-up appointments help address any minor adjustments needed for maximum comfort.
The adjustment period with new dentures typically lasts several weeks as your mouth adapts to the prosthetics. During this time, you may experience increased saliva production, slight soreness, or minor speech changes.
Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and gradually reintroduce firmer foods as you become more comfortable. Practicing speaking by reading aloud can help you adjust to talking with dentures more quickly.
Proper maintenance extends the life of your dentures. Clean them daily using specialized denture cleaners rather than regular toothpaste, which may be too abrasive. Remove and rinse dentures after eating, and brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth with a soft toothbrush.
Even with dentures, regular dental check-ups remain essential. Professional examinations ensure your dentures continue to fit properly and your oral tissues stay healthy. Most dentures need replacement or relining every 5-7 years due to normal wear and changes in your mouth structure.
Modern dentures provide facial support, preventing the sunken look often associated with missing teeth. This support helps maintain a more youthful appearance
Dentures enhance your ability to speak clearly by restoring normal speech patterns affected by missing teeth. They also allow you to enjoy a wider variety of foods, promoting better nutrition and overall health
Many patients experience a significant boost in self-confidence after receiving natural-looking and functional dentures. The psychological benefits of a restored smile often lead to an improved quality of life
