Unfortunately, as we age, many of us lose our natural teeth. This loss can be due to dental decay, injuries, or other factors. Thankfully, there are many options available to replace missing teeth. One of the most popular and readily available options is dentures in Mesa, Arizona.

If you need dentures and want the best care possible, schedule a consultation with Dr. Julee Weidner. Dr. Weidner is an experienced and knowledgeable dentist. Not only will she answer any questions or concerns you may have about dentures or any of our restorative dentistry options, but she will also provide you with personalized recommendations and treatment options. 

The following are some reasons dentures can be an excellent option for patients who need to replace their missing teeth.

Affordability

One of the primary reasons that dentures can be an excellent option for patients is affordability. Dentures can be less expensive than other tooth replacement options, such as dental implants. While the cost will depend on factors such as the number of teeth that need to be replaced and the type of denture, many patients find that dentures fit into their budget much more easily than other options.

Customizable

Another significant aspect of dentures is that we can customize them to fit each patient’s needs. At Dental Care of Mesa, our team works closely with patients to ensure their dentures fit comfortably and look natural. We know that many patients are concerned about dentures looking fake or unnatural, and we work hard to address these concerns and create a final product that patients are happy with.

Versatility

Dentures are also versatile in terms of the types of tooth loss they can help address. Partial dentures may be the best option for patients missing only a few teeth. Full dentures can be used for patients who are missing all of their teeth. Additionally, dentures can be used in conjunction with dental implants or other tooth replacement options, ensuring that each patient gets the best choice for their specific needs.

Durability

Finally, dentures can be quite durable when properly cared for. With proper cleaning and maintenance, dentures can last for many years. This durability means that patients can enjoy the benefits of their dentures for a long time without worrying about constant replacements.

What is the Process?

The following steps are typically involved with getting dentures:

Consultation with your dentist: The first step in getting dentures is a consultation with Dr. Weidner. During the consultation, she will examine your mouth, review your medical history, and determine if dentures are right for you. She may also take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to create a custom denture.

Preparing your mouth: Before placing your dentures, the dentist and her team will perform any necessary extractions and may perform a deep cleaning of your remaining teeth. 

Fitting and adjustments: Dr. Weidner will begin fitting your custom dentures once we prep your mouth. She can place temporary dentures to ensure a proper fit and make necessary adjustments to ensure it is secure, comfortable, and functional.

Final denture placement: Once Dr. Weidner ensures that your denture fits comfortably, she will place your final dentures. She will provide instructions on how to care for your dentures, including how to clean them, how to wear them properly, and any dietary restrictions you should follow.

Follow-up appointments: After your denture placement, Dr. Weidner will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that your denture is functioning correctly and to address any concerns or issues you may have.
