The lifespan of dentures can vary depending on the materials used, your oral health, and how well you care for them. Generally, dentures should be replaced every 5-10 years or as recommended by your dental professional.
Yes, dentures can be repaired if they become damaged. If your dentures become cracked, broken, or lose a tooth, it is important to have them repaired by a dental professional. Trying to fix them yourself can cause further damage and affect their fit and function.
It is important to clean your dentures daily to remove any food particles or bacteria. Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to clean your dentures. Be sure to also brush your gums, tongue, and palate to prevent infection and maintain good oral health.
To be a candidate for implant-supported dentures, you must have adequate jawbone density and be in good overall health. Our team will evaluate your oral health and determine if implant-supported dentures are the right option for you.
Traditional dentures are removable and rest on your gums, while implant-supported dentures are anchored in place with dental implants. Implant-supported dentures offer greater stability and support, allowing you to eat and speak more comfortably. They also help preserve your jawbone and prevent bone loss, which can occur with traditional dentures.
Denture coverage varies by insurance plan. Some dental insurance plans cover all or a portion of the cost of dentures, while others may offer limited coverage or none at all. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and any applicable limitations or exclusions. Our team at Easy Breezy Dental can also work with you to explore financing options or payment plans that fit your budget.
