Tooth Replacement in Newport Beach, CA
If you are facing tooth loss there are many different solutions that can restore form, function, and appearance. In this instance, it would be a denture. Dentures come in two different types, a removable solution and permanent solution.
Reasons To Consider Dentures
People may get dentures for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, people want to get dentures to improve their appearance. If people are missing most or all of their teeth, they often look older and their faces look shorter and more “hollow.” Dentures help make people look younger, restore function, and they help fill out facial features. People who are missing a significant number of teeth may also want dentures to help them eat and speak more easily.
Two Different Denture Options
1) Natural (temporary) Dentures
- Removable and Natural Looking Teeth
- Regain Form & Function
- Prevent Muscle degradation & Facial Alteration
Traditional or temporary dentures offer a fine solution to toothloss. These dentures help patients restore their quality of life in a non-invasive manner.
2) Implant (permanent) Dentures
- Provide a Permanent Realistic Looking Option to Tooth Loss
- Regain Mouth Function / Appearance
- Offer a More Stable / Better Bite
If you are in need of a bite solution, permanent or otherwise, we encourage you to contact our Newport Beach office for your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and can be made of acrylic, metal, or a combination of materials. Dentures can be complete (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing only some teeth).
Dental insurance coverage for dentures can vary depending on the specific insurance plan. In general, dental insurance plans may provide some coverage for dentures, particularly if they are deemed necessary for functional purposes, such as restoring the ability to chew and speak properly. However, coverage for purely cosmetic dentures may be limited or not covered at all.
The lifespan of dentures can vary depending on various factors, including the quality of the dentures, oral hygiene habits, and regular dental check-ups. On average, dentures may last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, the fit of dentures may change due to bone loss or changes in the oral tissues, requiring adjustments or replacement.
Dentures are used when a person has lost some or all of their natural teeth. They are an option for individuals who want to restore the function of chewing and speaking, improve their appearance, and support the structure of their face.
Initially, it may take some time to adjust to wearing dentures. They may feel bulky or cause some soreness or irritation. However, with time and proper adjustments, dentures can be comfortable to wear. It is important to follow your dentist’s instructions for wearing and caring for your dentures to ensure comfort and longevity.
