Denture Treatments in Lewiston ME

Dentures are a great solution for any patient who is either looking to replace their entire smile or a group of adult teeth that have fallen out over time. Modern-day dentures are much different from the dentures of the past. Changes and updates to dentures have been made to add more comfort and mak them more effective.

There are a variety of solutions for lost adult teeth. Dental bridges, implants, and All-on-4 implants are all great solutions. Here at Aspire Family Dentistry we offer many different dental solutions so we can match our patients with the right one. If you are interested in dentures or any other restorative treatments, please contact us for more information.

Is Getting Dentures A Long Process?

A conventional set of complete dentures are created and installed once teeth are removed and the gums have begun to heal. These can be placed in the mouth as early as 2-3 months after the natural teeth are removed.

Partial dentures can be removed, and you might hear them referred to as a dental bridge. Usually, partial dentures involve the replacement of some, not all. Attached to a gum-like base and connected by a custom-made metal framework, well-constructed dentures hold their position in the mouth. Partial dentures can also take much less time to install than complete dentures.

Dentures: Helpful Denture Decision-Making Facts:

• Dental implants and bridges may be used instead of dentures.
• Dental implants and bridges may be used to support partial dentures.
• Many dental insurance companies cover dentures. We can work with you to find out about your specific situation.
• New dentures will take a few weeks to be completely comfortable and fitted in your mouth.
• The goal is for your dentures to look the same as your natural teeth, often even better.
• Eating with new dentures can be a learning experience, but you and your mouth will adjust to your new dentures quickly.
• Dentures may affect speech and pronunciation, but with time this will fade.
• Most dentures are worn nearly all the time at first, then less over time as your mouth and gums adjust.
• The creation and installation of highly personalized dentures usually necessitates multiple appointments over time to complete this tooth restoration process.
• Once your Aspire Family Dentistry oral health professionals have worked with you to create a treatment plan, our highly skilled and motivated dental health staff are here to make your mouth (and you) happy!

For a single tooth or group of teeth you might consider partial dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants. For replacing a full arch of teeth you might want to consider dentures or All-on-4 Dental Implants. Here are some important factors to consider.
