At Strawberry Hill Family Dental, we understand that losing teeth can have a significant impact on both the function and appearance of your smile. That’s why we offer high-quality removable dentures for patients in Surrey, BC, who have lost some or all of their teeth. Dentures are a custom-crafted solution that provide both cosmetic and functional benefits, helping you regain confidence and improve your oral health.
Creating Your Custom Dentures
To begin the denture process, we take detailed impressions of your teeth, gums, and jaw. These impressions allow us to create a model that reflects your unique oral structure. We’ll work with you to ensure that the color, shape, and fit of your dentures are just right. Once the model is perfected, it is sent to a trusted dental lab to create your permanent dentures. Afterward, we will fit the dentures to your mouth, making minor adjustments if needed to ensure the best comfort and fit.
Types of Dentures Available
At Strawberry Hill Family Dental, we offer two main types of dentures to meet different needs:
- Conventional Full Dentures: Ideal for patients who need a full set of upper and/or lower teeth replaced. After the gums have healed from extractions, we will take new impressions to create a custom model. The dentures will then be made to fit perfectly, providing a natural look and strong functionality.
- Partial Dentures: These are used when one or more teeth are missing. Partial dentures, or dental bridges, are designed to prevent your remaining teeth from shifting into the empty spaces left by missing teeth. A crown is placed on the teeth surrounding the gap, and a replacement tooth is attached to these crowns. Partial dentures are customized to match your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless smile.
Caring for Your Dentures
It’s important to follow up with our dental team as recommended, as your dentures may need minor adjustments over time. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent plaque buildup and keep your dentures looking and feeling fresh. We recommend cleaning your dentures with a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive cleanser. Dentures typically need to be replaced every 5-10 years, so be sure to ask us about whether your dentures should be refitted or replaced.
