Dentures

Teeth are meant to last a lifetime, but sometimes accidents happen and they go missing. Whether you’ve lost teeth to dental trauma, decay, or an injury, it’s important to know what your replacement options are. Dentures are a non-invasive way to restore teeth, because they are natural looking, comfortable, and can restore regular function to your chewing and speaking habits. Here at Sun Family Dental, the denture process begins with a consultation from The Oyster Bay Family Dentists.


To place dentures, the first step involves removing the teeth that are being replaced. Once the teeth are removed, the soft tissues will need to heal, and this could take a couple of weeks to accomplish. Once this part of the process is complete, one of our doctors will take X-rays, as well as a mold of the gum and jaw so that the dentures can be sent to the lab. Once they return, the final step is to see how they fit. Some adjustments might need to be made along the way to ensure that they fit properly and are not causing any pain or discomfort on a long-term basis, but in the end, you will be left with the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
