Denture Care Center Cambridge

Upon examining your teeth after an accident or finding a bad case of tooth decay, one of our dentists in Cambridge, ON at Dental Art Clinic, may recommend extracting multiple teeth. To replace them, he or she may talk to you about same-day dentures.

Whether it is an upper or lower plate or a full-set, getting them requires ordering dentures in-house from our laboratory. Then, immediately after extracting your teeth, our dentist that is working with you will insert them.

One of the primary advantages of the same-day delivery of dentures is that you won’t need to go without teeth until the extraction areas heal. Healing from extractions takes six to eight weeks, so you wouldn’t be able to eat a regular diet during that time.

Inserting the dentures after the extractions act as a bandage to stop the bleeding, and they also help prevent infections as the extraction sites heal. Also, going without dentures can make you look older because your face may appear caved-in.

One way in which we at Dental Art Clinic stand out is as a provider of same-day denture delivery for individuals who need to have some of their teeth extracted to make room for the dentures (also known as false teeth). Many of our patients are often concerned about the interim between having a mold for dentures made, the dental extraction and having the dentures fitted in the mouth. With same-day denture delivery, we help you avoid this problem by getting you the dentures you need to enjoy the activities you love.

Same-day dentures are also called immediate dentures and are an essential tool for individuals who need to have their teeth extracted before the permanent models are ready. Same-day dentures in Cambridge are made to match your individual jaw shape and will match your preexisting smile.

This type of dentures can be made rapidly because the material used is cold cure acrylic rather than a warm cure. The material spends less time hardening into shape and can be quickly colour-matched and fitted after a dental extraction.

For a more permanent solution, ask us about dental implants, which can provide added stability alongside your dentures at Dental Art Clinic in Ontario.

Same-day dentures are literally given to you during the same day of your dental extraction. Molds are made of your mouth before the extraction and sent to our nearby dental lab, which prepares the appliances while you undergo treatment.

The entire process takes as little as two hours. The dentures can be fitted into your mouth right after your extraction so you can go home and participate in regular activities like biting, chewing, and smiling.

The main potential drawback of using same day dentures is that they might shift. They are fitted directly after extraction when the gums tend to be swollen. As the swelling recedes, this could cause the appliance to shift slightly. It is also possible for the dentures to become less secure over time.

When a dentist from Dental Art Clinic inserts the dentures into your mouth, you won’t feel anything because your mouth is numb from the anesthetic. Then as it wears off, you may experience some discomfort while your surgical wounds heal. After getting dentures in Cambridge, our dentist can write you a prescription for pain medication.

As your gums heal, the swelling from the extractions will dissipate, so your dentures may feel looser. Fortunately, Dental Art Clinic has a denture lab in-house, so we can reline your dentures so that they are tighter and more comfortable in your mouth.

If you’re wondering where you can get dentures near me, call us at Dental Art Clinic for dentures in Ontario that you can get on the day that we remove your teeth.

• Complete dentures Replace all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw, and rest on the gum.
• Partial dentures Fill gaps where some natural teeth remain, clasping onto those teeth for support.
• Immediate dentures Are fitted the same day teeth are removed, so you are not without teeth while the gum heals. They need relining later, because the gum shape changes as it heals.
• Implant-supported dentures Clip onto implants placed in the jaw, which stops the denture moving.

Dentures are made over several appointments rather than in one visit, because each stage depends on the one before it.

• Impressions. We take a mould of your gums, and a second more detailed one in a custom tray.
• Bite registration. We record how your jaws meet, so the teeth are set at the right height and position.
• Try-in. The teeth are set in wax so you can see the shape, colour and fit before anything is finalised. Say if you do not like how they look. This is the stage to change it.
• Fit. The finished denture is placed and adjusted.
• Review. A follow-up a week or so later to ease any sore spots.

A new denture feels bulky at first and usually affects speech for a few days. Reading aloud to yourself helps the tongue adjust faster than waiting does. Start with soft food cut small, chew on both sides at once rather than one, and build up as it gets easier.

Sore spots are normal in the first couple of weeks and are easily adjusted, but do not try to adjust the denture yourself. Wear it for a day before your appointment so we can see where it is actually rubbing.

• Clean them over a folded towel or a basin of water, so a slip does not break them.
• Brush daily with a denture brush and soap or denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste, which is abrasive enough to scratch the surface.
• Take them out overnight unless you have been told otherwise, and keep them in water so they do not dry out and warp.
• Brush your gums, tongue and palate each day even if you have no natural teeth left.
• Keep up your check-ups. We check the fit, the tissues underneath, and screen for oral cancer.
