Partials and Full Dentures In Mississauga, ON
Losing your teeth can affect your life drastically and make it so you can’t enjoy the things you used to love. This can affect your lifestyle, your self-esteem, and your overall happiness. When you lose your teeth, it can be tough to figure out what to do.
At Goreway Dental Centre, we provide partials and dentures for our patients that have suffered traumatic tooth loss.
The Denture Creation Process
Partials and dentures are made to match the size, shape, color, and shade of your natural teeth. The process starts with a mold or impression being taken from your mouth so that it can be used as a model for carving out an acrylic base.
This is done by taking impressions of all your teeth at once, which determines how much gum tissue will need to be trimmed away in order for the new set of teeth to fit comfortably inside your mouth.
A full dental exam is also performed during this time which includes x-rays and photographs of each jaw joint area where partials or dentures would go. From these images, we are able to determine any bone deterioration around the joints before starting work on matching you with one of our expertly crafted sets of partials or dentures.
Once a proper mold of your mouth is taken, your dentures are sent back to our lab to be created.
Who Should Get Partials or Dentures?
Partials and dentures are ideal for people with:
- Ample gum tissue to work with in order to make a sturdy set of teeth.
- A jaw joint that is not too deteriorated or cracked from bone resorption.
- Mobility issues that will prevent them from brushing, flossing, etc., on their own.
Our dentist in Mississauga will be able to help you with making the right choice for the dentures you need. The dentist will be able to tell you if a partial along with other equipment like bridges is appropriate or a full set of dentures.
At Goreway Dental Centre, we want to make sure you have your teeth and your smile back by helping you get the dentures you need.
