A Comprehensive Guide to dental care for seniors
Dentures provide an effective solution for individuals experiencing tooth loss, restoring functionality, and improving appearance. At Thorncrest Dental, we offer a range of customized denture options to meet the unique needs of each patient, helping them regain confidence and comfort in their daily lives.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. At Thorncrest Dental, we offer both full and partial dentures, depending on the number of teeth needing replacement. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth and can be designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures provide several significant benefits for those with missing teeth:
Custom Fit: Dentures are tailored to fit comfortably, ensuring a secure and stable fit that makes them easy to wear.ntal.
Restored Functionality: Dentures enable patients to chew and speak properly, improving daily quality of life.
Improved Appearance: Modern dentures are designed to look natural, helping restore a full and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Prevent Further Oral Health Issues: Dentures help prevent remaining teeth from shifting and can reduce the risk of bone loss in the jaw.
Who Should Consider Dentures?
Dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost multiple teeth due to injury, decay, or age-related issues. Whether you need full dentures for complete tooth loss or partial dentures to fill gaps, Thorncrest Dental will create a customized solution for your needs.
Types of Dentures
At Thorncrest Dental, we offer different types of dentures to meet your specific needs:
- Full Dentures: These are used when all of a patient’s teeth need to be replaced. Full dentures rest on the gums and are removable.
- Partial Dentures: For patients missing only a few teeth, partial dentures are designed to fit around existing teeth, using them as anchors for the prosthetic.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are anchored by dental implants, providing extra stability and a more permanent solution than traditional removable dentures.
The Denture Fitting Process
Getting dentures involves several steps to ensure a comfortable and secure fit:
- Initial Consultation: The dentist examines your mouth and discusses your specific needs.
- Impressions and Measurements: Accurate molds of your mouth are taken to design dentures that fit perfectly.
- Try-In: A wax model of the dentures is made and tested for fit and comfort before the final product is created.
- Final Placement: Once the final dentures are ready, they are fitted and adjusted for comfort.
- Follow-Up: Regular check-ups ensure the dentures remain comfortable and functional over time.
Longevity and Maintenance of Dentures
With proper care, dentures can last 5-10 years or longer. Maintenance includes:
- Daily Cleaning: Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush to remove food particles and plaque.
- Soak Overnight: Store dentures in water or a denture-cleaning solution when not in use to prevent them from drying out.
- Regular Dental Visits: Schedule follow-up appointments to ensure the fit remains comfortable and to check for wear and tear.
Cost of Dentures
The cost of dentures varies depending on the type, materials used, and whether additional treatments like extractions or implants are necessary. Many insurance plans cover part of the cost of dentures. Thorncrest Dental offers flexible payment options and financing to make dentures affordable for everyone.
Canadian Dental Care Plan
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to provide dental coverage for Canadians with a household income below $90,000 who lack dental insurance. Starting in May 2024, coverage will be phased in, beginning with seniors. Services covered include preventive, restorative, and surgical dental treatments. Co-payments are required based on family income, with those earning under $70,000 receiving full coverage. Additional fees may apply if service costs exceed CDCP rates. Patients must apply to the program and receive a member card to access benefits.
Before and After Care
- Pre-Procedure: If extractions are required before fitting dentures, your dentist will guide you through the process and provide instructions on managing healing.
- Post-Procedure: After receiving your dentures, follow the care instructions provided by your dentist, including proper cleaning techniques and adjusting to speaking and eating with your new dentures.
