Consultation and examination: Hassan will preform a detailed examination, identify any teeth that may need to be extracted, take mold of your mouth, and speak with you about your oral health goals. This step helps him to create the best smile possible designed specifically for you!
What are dentures?
Unlike dental implants, dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be used to replace just a few teeth or an entire row of missing teeth. Dentures restore the appearance and functionality of your smile.
Why Should I replace missing teeth?
Replacing missing teeth is about more than just the appearance of your smile. In fact, there are serious health concerns that can arise when missing teeth are not replaced, including:
- Loss of bone and bone density at the site of a missing tooth
- Facial and jaw muscles can slacken and change the physical appearance of your face
- Teeth surrounding the site of the missing tooth may move to fill the empty space left behind, resulting in decreased bite quality and an overall degradation of oral health
What does getting dentures look like?
For some, the process of getting dentures may feel overwhelming. At Colony Dental we are here to make the process easy, understandable, and comfortable. For most patients, the path to better health with dentures can be completed in four simple steps:
Denture Fabrication: Hassan works closely with high-end dental laboratories to fabricate custom-made dentures for his patients. This ensures your dentures not only fit well and work perfectly but also that they look as natural as possible.
Initial fitting: You will return to Colony Dental for an initial test fitting of your dentures. Dentures should never feel uncomfortable or cause any pain. During this appointment, adjustments and modifications can be made to ensure perfect fit and comfort.
Getting used to your new smile: While the appearance of your smile is instantly restored with your new dentures, it will take time to adjust to your new smile. But, fear not, you will return to speaking, chewing, and eating like normal in no time!
Who are dentures for?
There is a stereotype that dentures are reserved only for seniors. The truth is that dentures are a great option for anyone missing a few teeth or a whole row of teeth, young or old. If you need to restore the appearance and function of your smile, dentures are for you!
How much do dentures cost?
Dentures are one of the most cost-effective options for restoring your smile, especially when looking at replacing all of your teeth! The exact cost is dependent upon each individual case and the amount of work required to prepare your mouth for your dentures. The good news is that dental insurance companies often contribute to the cost of dentures. Additionally, we are proud to offer flexible financing options through CareCredit® to help take care of any expenses that may not be covered by insurance.
