Description

1 00:00:05.842 --> 00:00:11.883 Dentures are a dental prosthetic device that replaces 2 00:00:12.208 --> 00:00:15.983 either all or part of the lost teeth in your mouth. 3 00:00:17.357 --> 00:00:20.850 One type of denture would be called a full or complete denture, 4 00:00:21.171 --> 00:00:23.971 and another type would be called a partial denture 5 00:00:23.972 --> 00:00:28.013 which would only replace part of the teeth, 6 00:00:28.014 --> 00:00:29.917 of those only the teeth that are missing. 7 00:00:30.208 --> 00:00:34.041 So a candidate for dentures would be someone who needs to lose their teeth, 8 00:00:34.042 --> 00:00:39.325 unfortunately, due to decay, gum disease or a combination of both. 9 00:00:40.188 --> 00:00:41.871 What's good about the denture is that 10 00:00:41.872 --> 00:00:44.250 it can be made very quickly, very efficiently. 11 00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:47.817 Here in our practice, we make them on the same day 12 00:00:47.958 --> 00:00:50.217 as the procedure and extraction 13 00:00:50.218 --> 00:00:53.008 and removal of the existing teeth are done. 14 00:00:54.118 --> 00:00:59.158 It's a very effective and efficient way to replace teeth in an immediate way. 15 00:00:59.458 --> 00:01:01.229 One of the best parts of our dental practice 16 00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:05.242 is we have a fully integrated onsite dental lab here on premises. 17 00:01:05.683 --> 00:01:09.624 For dentures, it allows us to be extremely efficient 18 00:01:09.625 --> 00:01:14.250 in the methods in which we deliver those dentures to the patient. 19 00:01:15.245 --> 00:01:19.508 Most dental practices have to have the denture made in advance 20 00:01:19.883 --> 00:01:21.807 because there's no on site technician 21 00:01:21.808 --> 00:01:25.542 to go through the various steps that it takes to make a denture, 22 00:01:25.850 --> 00:01:28.433 which can take several weeks to do. 23 00:01:29.025 --> 00:01:30.908 There are several steps involved. 24 00:01:31.243 --> 00:01:35.185 So what we do is we actually can start in the morning 25 00:01:35.186 --> 00:01:38.000 by removing the teeth that are either decayed 26 00:01:38.071 --> 00:01:40.586 or have gum disease or need to be removed, 27 00:01:40.808 --> 00:01:43.632 and then we can do the impression after the teeth are removed. 28 00:01:43.633 --> 00:01:46.582 This allows us to then fabricate during the course of that day 29 00:01:46.583 --> 00:01:48.982 a much more accurately fitting denture 30 00:01:48.983 --> 00:01:51.758 and one that's made before the teeth are removed, 31 00:01:51.825 --> 00:01:53.849 and that has to be adjusted significantly. 32 00:01:53.850 --> 00:01:57.335 We've had extremely great success over the years 33 00:01:57.336 --> 00:01:59.081 doing the technique this way. 34 00:01:59.271 --> 00:02:00.970 Patients spend the day with us, 35 00:02:00.971 --> 00:02:02.867 but when they leave at the end of the day, 36 00:02:02.942 --> 00:02:06.108 they have a denture that fits well and it's functional for them.
