Complete Dentures
Full Dentures (Complete Dentures) are removable appliances that replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw (or both) when those natural teeth have been lost. Our full dentures are custom-crafted to restore your smile, improve your ability to chew and speak, and support your facial structure (cheeks and lips) to prevent the “sunken” look that can occur after tooth loss. At UCH Denture Clinic, we design full dentures with careful attention to detail – from choosing the right size, shape, and color of teeth to ensuring a comfortable fit.
Stepan Holovchak, DD will take precise measurements and impressions of your mouth to create dentures that look natural and feel secure. We use high-quality materials and the latest techniques, so your new teeth will be both durable and lifelike in appearance. Follow-Up Care: We recommend an annual check-up for your dentures to monitor their fit and your oral health. On average, dentures should be replaced approximately every 5 to 7 years to maintain optimal fit, function, and aesthetics.
How does one ensure a successful outcome?
Your Denturist is able to provide you with the professional advice needed prior to choosing the denture that best suits your lifestyle.
A thorough consultation and examination with your Denturist prior to any treatment is critical to achieving the best possible outcome.
The consultation gives you the opportunity to express your concerns and desires for your new dentures. It also allows your Denturist the opportunity to assess the oral conditions present and address your needs and expectations.
How do I know dentures are for me?
Your Denturist will provide you with the professional advice you need to make an informed decision regarding the denture choice that is best for you. The importance of a thorough consultation and examination with your Denturist is essential. This consultation gives you the chance to discuss your concerns and the treatment options available to you. It also allows your Denturist the opportunity to assess your oral condition and address your needs and expectations.
Chewing efficiently is the first step in digestion. Once the food is minced to a consistency that is safe to swallow, acids in the stomach break down the food further for your body to use. If you suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, or other stomach-related problems, this may be due to your lack of chewing ability, dull teeth or other related denture concerns.
How long should dentures last?
Dentures are no different than other dental/medical devices or prostheses, they require regular maintenance by your Denturist and will eventually need to be replaced. Your Denturist is the professional who will advise you on your specific oral health needs and circumstances. Most dental insurance plans cover dentures every five years.
