Dentures

A practical and affordable solution for replacing lost teeth

Removable dentures (platters) are one of the most affordable methods for replacing lost teeth. They can be used to replace both individual teeth and entire rows of teeth. Modern dentistry offers various types of dentures that are suitable for the individual needs of each patient. They are made of modern and durable materials, ensuring a high level of comfort and a natural appearance.

Why choose Dental Art

Our clinic offers personalized solutions in dental prosthetics, adapting each prosthesis to the patient’s needs and anatomical features. Our specialists use the most modern technologies and high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting and aesthetically attractive dentures. Our personalized approach and close collaboration between dentists and dental laboratory specialists ensure a precise solution that meets patients’ needs in the long term.

What to know before the procedure

Before the dental prosthetics procedure, it is important to consult a dentist to assess the health of the oral cavity and teeth and choose the most suitable type of prosthesis. During the first visit, the doctor will take an impression of the teeth and accurately determine the necessary stages of the procedure, the number of visits and the applicable costs. To ensure the best possible result, patients are advised to inform the dentist about chronic diseases, allergies and medications used.

What happens during the procedure

Dental prosthetics are performed during several consecutive visits:

  • The dentist takes an impression of the teeth and selects the shade of the prosthesis.
  • The resulting impression is sent to the dental laboratory, where a wax model or blank is made to refine the bite.
  • The wax model is tried on to ensure the suitability and comfort of the prosthesis.
  • After all necessary adjustments, the final prosthesis is made in the laboratory, which the dentist installs during the final visit.

Recommendations and denture care

To ensure the longevity of removable dentures and maintain oral health:

  • Until the dentures are fully adjusted, avoid nuts, caramels or other hard and sticky products that can damage the dentures or cause discomfort.
  • It takes 1-2 weeks to get used to the dentures.
    Under no circumstances should you try to repair or adjust the dentures yourself. Resolve any problems with the help of a specialist.
  • Dentures should be removed at night so that the mucous membrane can rest, and stored in a solution that helps ensure that the dentures are clean and safe to use.
  • Dentures should be washed with a special brush and paste to prevent the formation of bacteria and plaque.
  • The oral cavity should also be cleaned, even if all natural teeth have been lost, to stimulate blood circulation and ensure its complete hygiene. Regularly use special disinfecting solutions to ensure the cleanliness and longer life of the prosthesis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of dentures are available?

There are removable dentures that replace some missing teeth or the entire row of teeth, as well as modern dentures that are attached to implants, ensuring greater stability and a higher quality of life. Removable dentures can be made from acrylic or other materials (plastic, nylon, etc.).

How are dentures made and fitted?

The procedure begins with taking an impression of the teeth and registering the bite. A wax model is made in the dental laboratory, which is tried on to check the suitability of the denture for the specific patient. After the “smile fitting”, the permanent denture is made and fitted at the last visit. If necessary, adjustments are made to ensure maximum comfort and functionality.

How long does it take to make dentures?

Depending on the type of denture, the production can take from two to four weeks.

Can dentures be customized to the patient's needs?

Dentures are always made individually, taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s oral cavity and aesthetic requirements. The dentist carefully adjusts the shape, color and position of the dentures so that they provide both functionality and a natural appearance.

How to properly care for dentures?

Dentures should be cleaned with specially designed toothbrushes and cleaning agents to prevent the formation of bacteria and plaque. They should be removed at night and stored in a solution that prevents material deterioration and disinfects the surface of the denture. Regular oral hygiene, even if natural teeth are no longer present, is essential to maintain oral health and prevent inflammation.

Will my insurance policy cover the costs of the visit?

Depending on the terms of your insurance policy, the costs of installing dentures may be covered in part or in full. Present your policy to our administrators during your visit, and they will provide you with all the necessary information.
