At Lockney Dental, we understand the impact that tooth loss can have on your confidence and overall well-being. Our dedicated team is proud to offer high-quality removable dentures tailored specifically for our patients in Concord. Whether you’ve lost some or all of your teeth, our custom-crafted dentures provide both functional and aesthetic solutions to help you regain your smile.
Custom-Made for You
Creating dentures involves a detailed process to ensure they fit perfectly. Initially, we take a series of impressions of your jaw, teeth, and gums, along with precise measurements. These impressions help us design a model that matches your unique oral structure. We will test and adjust this model until the color, shape, and fit meet your expectations. Once finalized, the model is sent to our trusted dental lab, where your permanent dentures are crafted. When you receive your dentures, we’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure they feel comfortable and secure.
Types of Dentures
We offer two primary types of dentures to meet varying needs:
1. Conventional Full Dentures:
Ideal for patients who need a complete replacement for all upper and/or lower teeth, full dentures are made after the gums have fully healed from any extractions. We take comprehensive impressions and measurements to create a custom model. After ensuring the fit is perfect, your complete denture will be ready to restore your smile.
2. Partial Dentures:
Also known as dental bridges, partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. Beyond aesthetics, these dentures help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gaps left by tooth loss. A partial denture typically involves placing crowns on the adjacent teeth, with the replacement tooth attached. We ensure that the new tooth matches your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Maintaining Your Dentures
It’s essential to keep up with follow-up appointments to ensure your dentures continue to fit well over time. Adjustments may be needed as your mouth changes. Regular cleaning is crucial; we recommend using a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser to prevent plaque buildup. Typically, dentures should be replaced every 5-10 years, so don’t hesitate to ask our dentist in Concord for an evaluation.
