DON’T FALL FOR DENTISTS WHO PROMOTE
“SAME DAY! LOW COST!
1 HOUR! NO WAITING!” THAT’S A TERRIBLE IDEA!
The tout above sounds like something you’d appreciate with a dry cleaner or photo developer, right? Unfortunately, a lot of dentists make this claim about dentures as well. These dentists often skim over recommended denture procedures, giving little attention to the beauty of your smile. At Harsha Hospital, we firmly believe everyone should be able to have a dazzling smile, even if you need dentures!
At Harsha Hospital, we give people a denture that’s indistinguishable from natural teeth, including the gums. We go as far as to even tint the gum tissue to make it look extremely natural. Our goal is that you won’t be able to tell you’re wearing a denture. We use the best materials, the best teeth, and the best techniques to fabricate an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous denture that will fool anyone. People won’t know it’s a denture!
We achieve beautiful dentures through unique processes we’ve learned over years of study and tweaking our techniques down to an art form. One of our greatest successes in our denture process is that we set the teeth with you in the chair, giving us an unrivaled ability to facilitate facial rejuvenation. With a denture, you’re not just replacing teeth; you’re replacing lost gum and bone as well. Done properly, a new denture can make it look as if you’ve had a face lift. Your whole face will look better, not just your smile! That’s one of the add-ons that you get with a well-made denture from Harsha Hospital. You get a lot more than just teeth: you get a new smile, a new face that looks great natural and can be an amazing self-confidence booster! Denture patients already have one strike against them self-esteem-wise; you know you are missing your teeth. We want to give you something that boosts your confidence and makes you feel better. When we finish a case, we want our patients to sit up and have the same happy tears of joy that our veneer patients do with their beautiful new smile.
There are over 20 lakhs people with dentures in the India today. Those living with missing or damaged teeth have multiple denture options: complete, or partial.
Harsha dental signature, flawless, no-prep veneer smiles in the form of dentures – we can create that for you!
The team At Harsha Hospital works passionately toward creating the most beautiful and youthful smiles for patients whose natural teeth have been compromised and require replacement. Our patients are fully involved in the denture creation process, we welcome them to provide a photo of their smile at it’s best, examples of smiles they love, and their input in selecting the desired tooth and gum shades.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are dentures held in the mouth by nothing other than passive retention. This means that impressions are taken of the mouth (without teeth) and dentures are fabricated precisely to the underlying gum. People who have this type of denture have to rely on adhesives or pastes to keep the denture in place throughout the day.
This is especially the case on lower dentures because the ridge of bone and gum on the lower part of your mouth is not as substantial as that on the top, so the denture flops around more. A typical upper denture is usually a little more stable because it utilizes the surface area of your palate to help keep things in place.
Implant Dentures
This type of denture technically isn’t a denture at all, it’s more like a fixed bridge. Typically 4 or 6 dental implants are placed on the upper and lower arch for conventional implants and 10-12 for basal implants. The denture hybrid (implant denture) is actually fixed to the implants in the mouth. This is the most stable option and does not need to be removed each night. Some other names for this type of denture are “All on 4″ or “Fix teeth in 72 hrs.” The advantage to implant supported dentures is that they are the most stable and aesthetic option; they are the best!. See the example of the implant dentures (hybrid denture bridge) below. If you need dentures, contact us today!
Overdenture
This is a denture that is essentially attached to either two or three dental implants or two mini-implants. You can see how this option helps to stabilize and retain the denture in the mouth. The denture will actually “click” into the two positions. Old dentures (or your existing denture) can usually be retro-fit to accommodate this new denture. This is the second best denture option for long term use. At Harsha Hospital we believe almost all lower dentures should be an overdenture, because otherwise the denture will flop around, making it difficult to speak, eat, and talk.
