Dentures San Ramon
 Dr. Carol Jin is a family dentist who provides patients with dentures in San Ramon, CA. When patients find they may need false teeth it can be a scary thought, but having dentures can be a way to restore a healthy looking smile. Most people know what dentures are, but in case you don't; it is an appliance that is inserted into the mouth, replacing natural teeth and providing support for the cheeks and lips.
If you already have dentures and you are looking for a new dentist in San Ramon, we are happy to see you for an examination and transfer you under our care. If you are considering getting them for the first time, we can consult with you and let you know what to expect. How Are They Made?
Dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways. - Conventional dentures are made after all teeth have been extracted and the gums have fully healed.
- An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
- An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh colored, that covers the roof of the mouth.
- A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.
The dentures are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. They can be made to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance. Do They Require Maintenance?
Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular examinations are still important for the wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change. In The Bay Area?
