When you smile, are you all gums? Time to bring on the dentures!

If you have never considered using dentures, then you have missed out on a lot. But, you don’t have to worry anymore, because when you visit the Big Smile Dental in Chicago, you will be introduced to the amazing effects of dentures.

Made of acrylic resin, dentures are devices for patients with missing teeth. Patients who have lost most or all of their teeth will immensely benefit from dentures. As a result, patients will once again regain their chewing function, speech and vital support for facial muscles. Dentures not only help a patient functionally but also aesthetically, which means that he or she will once again have a dazzling smile.

Once the dentist decides to help a patient with dentures, the patient will be required to attend several appointments spanning a time period of one month. The initial appointment will involve a process where the dentist will take an impression of the patient’s jaw. In this impression, vertical dimensions as well as the accurate position of the jaw will be noted. In patients who have remaining teeth, the correct color will also be noted to create matching dentures. During the second appointment, a mold of a patient’s jaw will be created and it will be placed in the mouth to map the accurate color, shape and fit. Using this mold, the dentures will be made in the dental lab.

Dentures are an amazing dental tool that can change a person’s life in amazing and unexpected ways. Even though dentures may be seen as an excellent functional treatment tool, the more amazing benefits are in the aesthetics. Using dentures, a patient can have the amazing and enchanting smile they always wanted.
