Denture

If several teeth are missing, but implantation is not an option due to financial or health reasons, the solution is to prepare removable dentures.

During the treatment, we take impressions of your jawbones and teeth, and register your bite. We send all of these to a dental laboratory, from where the dentures prepared up to the current working phase are sent back to the office every few days. In the various phases of the preparation, we try on the dentures, adjust them if necessary, and take new impressions. We will hand over the finished dentures if you feel that they are suitable and usable.

Risks associated with treatment include:

• In case of extreme chewing force or inappropriate "use", the denture can be damaged, cracked, partially or completely broken.
• The average life expectancy of dentures is difficult to predict and depends largely on the type of dentures and the way they are used. As time progresses, due to changes in your body and oral cavity, the fit of the dentures may change, and as a result, you may feel that it is looser than at the beginning. If this interferes with the stability of the denture, your dentist may recommend lining the denture.
• During use, the finished denture may irritate, press, or rub your gums and mucous membrane at certain points. In this case, visit our office so that we can adjust the shape of the denture.
• It is necessary to regularly clean the dentures with cleaning agents and tools prepared for this purpose. In the case of improper cleaning, pathogens can multiply on the dentures.

Possible consequences of failure to treat: 

• In the case of a partial missing tooth, the teeth surrounding the missing tooth may fall in or elongate if an adequate replacement is not made.
• The jawbone may begin to atrophy in the area of missing teeth. This can be a problem, especially if you plan to have a dental prosthesis fixed on implants later. In the case of advanced bone loss, it is possible that implants cannot be placed in the jawbone.
