Gabor Bodnar DMD PA

A dentures dentist is someone that can give you a second lease on life when it comes to having all of your teeth and being able to eat the food that you love, speak clearly and concisely, and be able to smile without fear of embarrassment. Most people do not think of dentures in terms of the amount of impact it is going to have on their life. For example, did you know that when you have lost teeth your facial muscles will begin to sag? This can make you look older and is a direct result of the teeth no longer being in place to provide a sense of structure. In addition to the fact that you look older, you will feel older as well. People who have lost teeth typically find that they cannot eat all the food they like, having to make the difficult choice between practicality and things they actually like. In this case practicality wins and more often than not your diet will be severely restricted. The sad part is that none of this is necessary, as you dentist can fit you with a perfect set of dentures that will replace the lost teeth and give you back all the functionality and the look that you are missing with missing teeth.

Dentures are fundamentally one of the most simple replacements, or restorations, in the world. As a skilled dentist, we are able to fit them for virtually any patient who wants a simple solution to lost teeth. There are three kinds of dentures that we use, conventional dentures, immediate dentures, and over dentures. Each of these serves a different purpose and can be used in a variety of circumstances. The most used of these are the conventional dentures since that is what most patients opt for as they begin to lose their teeth to old age, disease, or accidents.

Conventional dentures are fully removable prosthetics that are custom made by the laboratory in accordance with the specifications sent over by your dentist. They are designed to come out of the mouth when you want them to, and will be placed after all the teeth have either fallen out or have been removed. Sometimes the process of placing conventional dentures can take several months since we typically wait till the mouth is fully healed from tooth loss before placing them.

Immediate dentures are placed by your dentist on the day that we remove the remaining teeth. We do this by measuring and getting all the information we need on a pre-visit. This way when you come in for your tooth extraction we already have a set of immediate dentures waiting for you. You will not leave the office with no teeth, rather will have these immediate dentures provided by your dentist for the duration of your healing process.

The over dentures are used when the patient has usable and savable teeth left in their mouth. We do not want to remove teeth that we can save and so when we make this denture, we place it over the remaining teeth. This gives you the new teeth that you need but also keeps intact the old original teeth.
