Dentures and False Teeth in Oakville

Are your teeth decaying and already so full of fillings that you feel you have no other alternative than to have them all pulled and replaced with complete dentures? Do you already wear a pair of dentures but feel that something is "off," that chewing and keeping the false teeth in place is more difficult than you thought? You need to speak with a qualified dentist, like Dr. Joseph Shea in Oakville, to provide answers to all of your denture questions.

Perhaps you do need a complete set of dentures if you suffer from extensive tooth decay or gum disease - or perhaps you already wear a complete set of false teeth. Dr. Shea can answer any questions you might have about complete dentures. For example, should you schedule regular appointments with your dentist for denture repair and realignment? Yes! Without frequent repair and reline treatments, dentures can become unstable and ill-fitting in your mouth. Also, a mouth with a full set of false teeth is prone to losing bone density, causing visible lip and facial skin shrinkage. Frequent dental treatments are essential to lessening these effects.

You may not even need complete dentures - just let Dr. Shea take a look at your teeth. Even a mouth with mostly damaged and/or missing teeth can benefit instead from immediate partial dentures, which can attach to existing teeth for greater stability and less likelihood of bone shrinkage. Immediate partial false teeth are often ready to wear after only two visits to the dentist!

Don't tell yourself you're destined for complete false teeth before you even make an appointment. Call St. Louis Prosthodontic Care or request an appointment online today to meet with Dr. Joseph Shea and talk to him about immediate partial dentures, denture repair, complete dentures, or other dental treatments.
