North Phoenix Dentures
by Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead
Thankfully, dentures have come a long way since the days when George Washington purportedly wore dentures made from wood. Today’s advanced dental materials produce dentures that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
At the first visit your North Phoenix dentist will begin by reviewing your health history and then performing a thorough oral examination. To create a custom fitted North Phoenix denture with a natural look your dentist will take an impression of the upper and lower arches in your mouth. These impressions will then be sent to a dental laboratory to begin the creation of your new dentures.
During the second visit your North Phoenix dentist will assist you as you select the most natural color for the gums and the shape and color of the teeth to be placed in the dentures. You may be pleasantly surprised by the advances in cosmetic dentistry that will allow you to craft a completely natural looking smile with dentures that are more comfortable and longer wearing than ever before.
It usually takes between six and twelve weeks to receive your dentures. If you experience problems with your dentures the dentist will continue to work with you until he is satisfied that he has achieved the best possible fit and appearance.
If you don’t want to wait while your dentures are being constructed at the dental laboratory, immediate dentures in North PHX are available. You will go through the same process of taking impressions, but your dentistry will already have your dentures there before he extracts the last of your teeth. The dentures will be placed immediately, before you leave the office. This way you will never be seen in public without teeth.
Another option is North Phoenix partial dentures which can be used to replace one or more teeth. The partial denture will be attached to the adjoining teeth but can be removed for cleaning.
Any type of denture will require a period of adjustment, but time is your friend. The more you wear your dentures the more comfortable they will become.
