What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. They are designed to closely resemble your natural teeth and can significantly improve your appearance and oral health. Whether you have lost teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury, dentures offer a proven and affordable solution to restore your smile.
At La Dentique Care in Olongapo City, Dr. Liz Anndrei R. Piñero provides expertly crafted dentures tailored to fit your mouth comfortably and look completely natural. We offer several types of dentures to meet your unique needs:
Full Dentures replace an entire arch of teeth and rest directly on the gums. They are ideal for patients who have lost all of their upper or lower teeth. Partial Dentures fill the gaps left by one or more missing teeth while clasping onto your remaining natural teeth for support. Flexible Dentures are made from a lightweight, bendable material that offers superior comfort and a more natural appearance compared to traditional acrylic dentures.
Benefits of Dentures
- Restored smile — dentures fill out your facial profile and give you a complete, natural-looking smile
- Improved chewing ability — eat your favorite foods again with properly fitted dentures
- Better speech — missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce certain words; dentures help restore clear speech
- Affordable tooth replacement — dentures are one of the most cost-effective ways to replace multiple missing teeth
- Facial support — without teeth, facial muscles can sag over time; dentures provide the support your face needs
- Boosted confidence — a complete smile gives you the confidence to eat, speak, and socialize without hesitation
- Non-invasive solution — unlike implants, dentures do not require surgery, making them suitable for a wide range of patients
- Multiple options available — choose from full, partial, or flexible dentures to match your specific needs and budget
The Denture Fitting Procedure
- Initial Consultation and Assessment: Dr. Piñero will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, gums, and any remaining teeth. This assessment helps determine which type of denture is best suited for your needs. Any necessary extractions or preparatory treatments will be discussed at this stage.
- Impressions and Measurements: Precise impressions and measurements of your mouth are taken to create a model. These ensure your dentures will fit securely and comfortably. Bite registration is also performed to align your upper and lower jaws correctly.
- Try-In Appointment: A wax or trial version of your dentures is created so you can try them on before the final set is made. This allows Dr. Piñero to check the fit, bite alignment, and appearance, making any adjustments needed to achieve the perfect result.
- Final Fitting: Your completed dentures are carefully fitted and adjusted for comfort. Dr. Piñero will ensure they sit properly on your gums and that your bite is even and comfortable. You will receive detailed instructions on how to wear, remove, and care for your new dentures.
- Follow-Up Adjustments: After wearing your dentures for a few days, a follow-up appointment ensures everything is working well. Minor adjustments may be made to eliminate any sore spots and optimize comfort as your mouth adapts to the new appliance.
Who Are Dentures For?
Dentures may be the right solution for you if you:
- Have lost all of your teeth in one or both arches and need a full tooth replacement
- Are missing several teeth and want an affordable, non-surgical replacement option
- Have teeth that are severely damaged beyond repair and require extraction followed by replacement
- Are not a candidate for dental implants due to health conditions or insufficient bone density
- Want to improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile after tooth loss
- Are looking for a removable option that is easy to clean and maintain
- Prefer a more budget-friendly alternative to implant-supported restorations
During your consultation at La Dentique Care, Dr. Piñero will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether dentures, dental implants, or another option is the best path forward for your situation.
