At Sampaio Dental, our dedicated team is here to offer high-quality removable dentures for patients who have experienced the loss of some or all of their teeth. We understand that tooth loss can impact both functionality and confidence, which is why we craft custom dentures tailored to your specific needs, providing both cosmetic and functional solutions.
Custom Denture Creation
The process of creating your dentures begins with a comprehensive assessment. We take precise impressions of your jaw, teeth, and gums, along with several important measurements. These impressions allow us to create a model that is carefully tested and adjusted to ensure the right color, shape, and fit for your unique mouth. Once we finalize the model, it is sent to our dental lab to cast your permanent dentures. When they arrive, we’ll make any necessary minor adjustments to ensure your new smile is comfortable and secure.
Types of Dentures
At Sampaio Dental, we offer two main types of dentures to meet your individual needs:
1. Conventional Full Dentures:
Ideal for patients needing a complete replacement of upper and/or lower teeth, these dentures are crafted after the gums have fully healed from any extractions. We take detailed impressions to create a custom model, which is then refined before being sent to the lab for fabrication. After your dentures are made, we ensure they fit perfectly, making any adjustments required for your comfort.
2. Partial Dentures:
Also known as dental bridges, partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. They serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, helping to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into empty spaces. A typical bridge involves placing crowns on the surrounding teeth, with a replacement tooth anchored to those crowns. We carefully match the replacement tooth to your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Caring for Your Dentures
Regardless of the type of dentures you choose, regular follow-up appointments with your dentist in Cape Coral are essential. Over time, we may need to adjust your dentures to ensure a perfect fit and optimal comfort. Cleaning your dentures 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 be sure to consult our team to evaluate their condition.
