How Does Our Office Replace Back Teeth with Partial Dentures?

The process of fitting partial dentures for back teeth typically involves several steps:

Consultation: Schedule a consultation with our dental professional, who will examine your mouth, take X-rays, and discuss your options for partial dentures.

Impression: After determining the best type of partial denture for your needs, an impression of your mouth will be taken.

Bite registration: Our dentist will also take a bite registration, which is a measurement of the distance between your upper and lower jaw when they are closed together.

Model fabrication: Using the impressions and bite registration, a model of your mouth will be created. This allows the dental laboratory to custom-make your partial denture.

Once the partial denture is fabricated, you will have a try-in appointment to test the fit and make necessary adjustments. We will check the fit and ensure the partial denture is properly secured.

How Does Our Team Proceed with Oral Cancer Screening?

The procedure used by our dentists for screening mouth cancer involves different examinations. Here are some of the steps involved in the screening process:

Medical History Review: Our dentist will begin by reviewing your medical history and discussing any risk factors for oral cancer, such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or previous exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Visual Examination: We will visually inspect your oral condition, including the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and mouth’s roof and floor, for any abnormalities or signs of cancer.

Physical Examination: Our team will use their hands to feel for any lumps, bumps, or other irregularities in your mouth, throat, and neck.

Specialized Screening Tools: Some dentists may also use specialized screening tools, such as a light or dye, to help detect any suspicious areas that may be missed during a visual examination.

Customized for your teeth

We customize the Invisalign® aligners to fit the patient's teeth and then use programming technology to digitally map out the projected rate of movement for the patient. We will then build the rest of the clear aligners in the series. Each new set of aligners will be a bit closer to the correct position for straight teeth.

With a customized straightening treatment, patients do not need to worry about the aligners falling out or being loose. Since there is no one-size-fits-all treatment, we make sure that the trays are the right fit for each patient.

Discreet, efficient and easy to use

Invisalign® aligner trays are nearly invisible to the point that few people will notice them unless the individual mentions wearing them. Patients will not have to feel embarrassed by wearing traditional metal braces or a mess of wires in their mouth on a regular basis. Invisalign® allows for the patient to receive the straight smile they desire without the maintenance of going through braces treatment.

Patients will be able to feel confident in their smile during the straightening process. If you are interested in Invisalign® treatment, give us a call today and schedule an appointment. We will help you obtain the straight smile you have always wanted.
