When teeth are lost to disease or decay, replacing them becomes a high priority for many patients. Dentures are a popular prosthodontic solution, partial or complete teeth replacements meant to improve mastication, pronunciation, and aesthetics. Before fitting your dentures, we first make a detailed mold of your oral cavity and then send it to a dental production lab where the actual prosthetic is fashioned. While you wait, a temporary denture is fitted.
Once your permanent denture arrives, we fit it over any remaining natural teeth or implants. The denture should fit comfortably without chafing or pressure to avoid complications. Classic Smiles always aims to educate patients – we provide detailed instructions on denture cleaning and maintenance and any necessary adjustments to oral hygiene. Follow-ups after the initial adjustment period are recommended to address any potential issues with the prosthetic.
New patients are always welcome at Classic Smiles, as are returning patients and families. With our location near the University of Iowa, we’re easy to find and even easier to get to, whether you’re coming from home, work, or school!
