Swift Smile Restoration With Complete Dentures
At Signature Smiles in Great Neck, Port Washington, we specialize in helping patients who have lost all of their natural teeth due to injury, disease, or decay. Our innovative same-day complete dentures provide a fast, comprehensive solution to restore both the appearance and function of your smile. With this advanced treatment, you can quickly regain your confidence, comfort, and the ability to enjoy daily activities to the fullest.
Understanding Conventional and Immediate Dentures
For patients who have lost all their natural teeth, both immediate and conventional dentures may be necessary to restore full dentition.
Conventional dentures are created once the gums, palate, and jaw have fully healed after tooth loss or extraction. This ensures a precise, comfortable fit once the tissues have stabilized.
Immediate dentures, on the other hand, are custom-made and placed on the same day as tooth extraction. These dentures allow patients to have a functional set of teeth while their mouth heals. Since the gums and jaw will change shape during the healing process, follow-up visits may be required to adjust the fit of the dentures.
While immediate dentures can serve as a long-term solution for some, they are often temporary until conventional dentures can be created for a more permanent fit.
What You Can Expect When Getting Complete Dentures
Adjusting to new complete dentures can take time, but immediate dentures offer a quick solution to prevent the discomfort and appearance concerns caused by missing teeth. Our doctors will take precise impressions of your mouth to design dentures that fit securely, ensuring a natural-looking smile while minimizing any impact on your ability to eat and speak. However, in the initial days or weeks, you may experience:
- Increased saliva production
- Mild discomfort or small sores on your gums and/or palate
As your mouth heals from tooth loss, the fit of your complete dentures may change, and you may need to visit our doctors for an adjustment.
