Embarking on the journey towards a healthier, more confident smile with dentures can be both exciting and a little daunting. At Suncoast Dental Center, we believe in empowering our patients with the right information to help them make informed decisions about their oral health. This blog will guide you through what you can expect when getting dentures.
Your journey begins with a consultation with our experienced dentist, Dr. Landon Lowell. During this visit, he will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, discuss your dental history, and understand your expectations and concerns. This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and well-informed.
Dr. Lowell will then recommend the best denture option for you, based on your specific needs and circumstances. He will explain the pros and cons of each option, giving you the information you need to make an informed decision.
Once you've decided on the best denture option for you, the next step is the fitting process. Impressions of your mouth will be taken to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and look natural. This process may require several appointments to ensure the dentures fit perfectly and you are completely satisfied with their look and feel.
During these visits, Dr. Lowell will make any necessary adjustments to the dentures, ensuring they fit comfortably and securely. You will also be given instructions on how to care for your dentures at home.
Like any new dental appliance, it may take some time to adjust to your new dentures. You may experience some discomfort initially as your mouth adjusts to the new appliance. However, this discomfort should subside within a few weeks as your mouth adapts to the dentures.
During this period, it's important to maintain regular check-ups with Dr. Lowell. He can make any necessary adjustments to your dentures to ensure they continue to fit well and feel comfortable. He will also provide tips and advice to help you adjust more quickly to your new dentures.
With the right care and maintenance, your dentures can last many years. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the appearance and health of your dentures. Dr. Lowell will provide you with detailed instructions on how to clean your dentures and maintain your oral hygiene.
Regular check-ups are also important to ensure your dentures continue to fit well and remain in good condition. During these visits, Dr. Lowell will check the fit of your dentures, make any necessary adjustments, and check your overall oral health.
Getting dentures is a significant step towards improving your oral health and confidence. While the process may require some adjustment, the result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you can be proud of.
