Complete Dentures
Comfort fit and made with computer precision
When most people think of dentures, it’s the complete denture they have in mind. Also called “false teeth” or “full dentures,” a complete denture is exactly what the name implies: a complete set of replacement teeth. So, whether you have already had all of your natural teeth extracted or you are considering this possibility, know there are comprehensive options available to you for restoring your smile!
The aim of a complete denture is to provide a natural appearance, maximum denture retention/stability, maintain normal speech, provide appropriate facial support, and to facilitate normal chewing function. A well-made set of dentures from Northmount Denture Clinic in Calgary will do exactly that!
What to Expect From Complete Dentures
One of the primary functions of your dentures is to preserve bone mass in the jawline. This ensures long-lasting natural aesthetics and maximum comfort.
Your First Week With Dentures
- Do not remove dentures for the first 24 hours. This may seem counterproductive, but the dentures are actually protecting the tooth extraction sites and minimizing pain and discomfort.
- Your mouth will be sore. Use Tylenol (or other medication as prescribed) to alleviate the pain. Avoid smoking cigarettes or consuming alcohol.
- Eat soft foods to minimize discomfort.
Your First Few Weeks With Dentures
- You will have to swallow more frequently as you re-establish the “new normal” for saliva levels in your mouth.
- You will have to spend some time learning better articulate your speech. You may have a lisp for a period of time, but most overcome this fairly quickly.
- Sore spots may appear. If they do, come back to see us for adjustment.
