Tooth loss happens to patients of all ages. While younger children are expected to lose their teeth as their adult teeth come in, patients may experience problems that lead them to consider restorations such as bridges and dentures. They are ways of keeping the smile functional and beautiful. However, many patients are concerned that these repairs are not affordable and work closely with team of Vivid Dental in Houston to determine which restoration is best for their budget.
In most cases, dentures are the most affordable option. Patients often choose full or partial dentures due to the economic benefits. Full dentures are the primary choice for patients who have lost all their teeth within the dental arch, while partials are used for one or more teeth that are missing. Partials are encouraged because they keep the existing teeth from shifting and restore the efficiency of the smile while being affordable.
Dr. Monti Harpalani offers affordable dentures for patients who are ready to restore their smiles. The entire process begins with a consultation appointment and evaluation to determine what kind of denture is most appropriate for the patient’s needs. This may be a partial or a full. Impressions are made of the mouth and these are sent to an outside laboratory for the fabrication of high-quality dentures. Because of the impressions, the laboratory is able to make the restorations fit firmly into the smile while looking as natural as possible. Full dentures are made of quality acrylics while partial dentures integrate a metal framework, which allows them to snap in place.
Patients must bring their dentures into their recall appointments to double-check their fit and function. When they break, or become damaged, patients are urged to visit Vivid Dental to have them repaired as soon as possible to keep irritation and damage from occurring to the natural smile. Ill-fitting dentures have a tendency to slip around in the smile and can result in irritation, sores, and overall discomfort, which keeps patients from wearing them.
If you live in the Houston area or a surrounding community and you have considered restorations such as these, contact Dr. Monti Harpalani today to book a consultation visit and discuss the advantages of affordable dentures.
