Full and partial dentures for tooth replacement in Houston, Texas
When patients hear “dentures,” they often think of full dentures that look very fake and tend to fall out at the least expected times. We might recall memories of our grandparents and their false teeth becoming a problem regularly. Fortunately, there have been significant improvements in dental restorations, and dentures today are very different from those in the past! Dr. Leila Ann Suki and her team at West University Dental Professionals are here to educate patients on the benefits of dentures today, including full and partial dentures.
What are the different types of dentures?
Full and partial dentures are available from Dr. Leila Ann Suki and her team. Full dentures replace all the teeth in the dental arch, while partial dentures replace one or several teeth using existing teeth for support. Your evaluation appointment is the best time to find out which one is right for you!
Who is a candidate for dentures?
For those unfortunate people who have lost their teeth, dentures might be the only solution. The good news is that the technology and precision in fabricating these prostheses have come a long way. Not only are the acrylics and machinery much improved, but the advent of CAD-CAM technology has been a game-changer. This is where a computer reads the jaw shape from a mouth impression and fabricates an extremely precise-fitting denture. This is especially useful for dentures that are supported by implants. Note that if some of your teeth are still present, a removable partial denture may be an option.
How do I know if my denture will fit right?
We will customize your denture to achieve the best fit possible. The procedure for fabricating a denture will take a few appointments, as each step has to be accurately performed so that the end result is a comfortable and well-fitting prosthesis.
Who can guide me through this transition and help me feel at ease with the process?
Dr. Leila Ann Suki always lets her patients know at the start of the procedure what to expect from their denture. Patients with a strong foundation of the jawbone will have an easier time adjusting than those who have lost much of their supporting bone. We are here to guide you through it all. You are never alone in this transition!
