Dentures and Partial Dentures

dentures royal palm beach | man at dentistYes, you can chew gum with dentures in Royal Palm Beach. The gum can improve salivary flow, keeping your mouth moist and healthy.

When choosing gum, you may have some trial and error. You want to choose a brand that doesn’t stick to your prosthetic. Additionally, your Royal Palm Beach dentist recommends sticking with sugarless gum to protect any remaining teeth from decay, especially if you have a partial that relies on these teeth for added stability.

While chewing gum is okay, you may have problems with gooey candies or other foods that can stick to your prosthetic.

Couple Smiling | Dentures Wellington FLWhen patients consider dentures, they often feel concerned that they will be required to go without teeth after their extractions. We don't want our patients to deal with this worry, and that's why Dr. Steven Bussell designs immediate dentures for patients to wear as they heal.

Immediate dentures in Royal Palm Beach will be designed before your dental extractions occur and will be available for use during the months following your extractions. Regular adjustments throughout the healing process will ensure a good fit as your tissue and bone heal.

Immediate dentures have a soft inner lining to cradle your delicate tissue as it heals. Replacing this lining at regular intervals will keep your immediate denture fit snug yet comfortable.

Benefits Of Immediate Dentures - Available at our Wellington Dental Office

  • Prevent you from having to appear in public without teeth
  • Help you adjust to changes in speech patterns immediately
  • Minimize facial distortions
  • Allow you to chew more effectively
  • Make it easier for you to grow accustomed to denture wear

Maintenance for Dentures

Dr. Bussell will design and create final dentures once the healing process is complete.

It is important to maintain regular dental exams even if you have dentures. Dr. Bussell will monitor bone loss, examine dentures for cracks or damage, perform an oral cancer screening, and make any adjustments to your denture to eliminate sores or improve fit.

Even with meticulous care, most people will need to replace their dentures every 8 to 10 years due to changes in bone.
