The Denture Process: What to Expect

Starting the journey towards getting dentures or partial dentures may feel overwhelming, but we make this process as simple and comfortable as possible. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you can expect:

  • 1 Consultation and Evaluation: This initial stage involves a thorough examination of your oral health. We assess the need for dentures or partial dentures, discuss your expectations, and explain the available options.
  • 2 Impression and Measurement: Using our in-house CEREC CAD/CAM technology, we take digital impressions of your mouth. These impressions are then used to create dentures and partial dentures in a lab.
  • 3 Fitting and Adjustments:The process includes multiple visits, allowing us to adjust the dentures for the perfect fit. We prioritize your comfort and ensure your dentures or partial dentures function seamlessly with your natural oral movements.
  • 4 Follow-ups and Maintenance: We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and offer follow-up appointments to ensure your dentures remain in excellent condition.

Immediate Dentures: Providing Comfort in Transition

When a patient requires full dental extraction, our dentists may recommend immediate dentures. These dentures serve as a temporary solution during the healing process post-extraction, offering both comfort and aesthetic appeal. Here's a look at how this process works:

  • 1 Before any extraction, we create a detailed digital scan of your existing teeth or tissues using our advanced in-house CEREC CAD/CAM System.
  • 2 The immediate denture is custom-made in a lab using these digital impressions to ensure it fits your mouth perfectly.
  • 3 This immediate denture functions as a trial run, allowing you to adjust to the feel and look of a denture while your gums heal.
  • 4 The entire process, from extraction to the fitting of the immediate denture, is overseen by Dr. Mark Phillipe or Dr. Derek Hauser to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition.

Technological Edge: The CEREC CAD/CAM System

Modern dentistry is all about precision and patient comfort, and our dentistry practice leverages cutting-edge technology to ensure both. At the forefront of our technical arsenal is the CEREC CAD/CAM System.

This revolutionary technology allows us to take accurate digital impressions of your mouth, helping create dentures or partial dentures that fit perfectly and feel comfortable. The CEREC CAD/CAM System is just one of the ways we ensure a seamless experience for our patients.

Material Matters: The Importance of Acrylic

When it comes to dentures, the choice of material is vital. At Lakefront Family Dentistry, we use high-quality acrylic for our dentures and partial dentures. Acrylic is chosen for its durability, ease of repair, and natural appearance.

This acrylic is also lightweight and less likely to cause discomfort or irritation. This careful selection of material is one of the many ways we ensure that your dentures or partial dentures not only restore your smile but also offer the comfort you deserve.

Custom Dentures: A Perfect Fit for Your Smile

Our denture services offer a blend of advanced technology and personalized care. Our dentures, crafted from high-quality acrylic, are created in a lab and custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably. The process involves:

  • 1 Consultation and fitting with either Dr. Phillipe or Dr. Hauser
  • 2 Digital scanning and impressions with our in-house CEREC CAD/CAM technology
  • 3 Multiple visits over 4-6 weeks to ensure great fit and comfort
  • 4 Option for implant-supported dentures, depending on your specific needs.

Partial Dentures: Filling in Your Smile

Partial dentures are an excellent solution when you have some functioning natural teeth. Our partial denture services include:

  • 1 Custom-fitted partials, created using impressions taken with our in-house CEREC CAD/CAM machine.
  • 2 Option for implant-supported partial dentures, depending on your specific needs.
  • 3 Partials that easily snap on and off, allowing for easy removal for cleaning and sleeping.

The Value of Immediate Dentures

The concept of immediate dentures might seem unusual, but it's a valuable service we offer, especially for patients undergoing a full dental extraction. With immediate dentures, you won't have to face the world without teeth even for a day.

We prepare these dentures in advance, based on impressions taken before your extraction. These serve as a 'trial run' before your permanent dentures, allowing you to adjust to your new oral setup while maintaining your appearance and functionality.

We want to assure you that the journey to restore your smile is one we undertake together. Every step of the way, our seasoned dental professionals, Dr. Mark Phillipe and Dr. Derek Hauser, will be there to guide you, answer your questions, and ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
