Brighton Dentures&Partial; Dentures Adentureis a removable replacement formissing teethand adjacent tissues. It is made ofacrylic resin,sometimes in combination with various metals. Correctly placing dentures takes skill and experience. OurBrighton denture dentistis experienced in the placement ofdenturesand skilled in ensuring that theyfit and function properly.If you have lost your teeth or are in danger of losing them, our experienceddenture dentist in Brighton MIcan help you examine your choices and choose the type ofdenturesbest for your mouth and your lifestyle. Many people who weardenturesorpartial dentureshave difficulties with slipping, eating or sores that all stem from the apparatus being poorly constructed or ill-fitting. OurBrighton dentistswill provide high qualityfull denturesandpartial denturesthat will fit correctly, remain comfortable, pain-free, stable and not move around when you eat. Ourfull and partial denturesare custom-made using quality materials that look natural and are durable. OurprofessionalBrighton dentistswill ensure that they are the right shape, color and size for a natural look and that the bite is correct so that you can talk and eat properly. Aligning the dentures correctly will also give you a more attractive look and prevent premature wrinkles around the lips or at the corners of the mouth. Ourdenture dentistsmay recommend the use of full dental implants to stabilize your dentures. This has the added benefit of deterring bone loss, which can cause eventual difficulties with wearing dentures, jaw problems and even change the appearance of your face, giving it a sunken look. Ourdental professionalsare experts in crafting and placing dentures and implants, and will ensure that your implants secure your dentures to create the most natural fit and feel possible. We can provide several types of dentures: Complete:These replace all the teeth, while apartial denturefills in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevents other teeth from changing position. You can have them on your upper or lower jaw or both. Partial:Suitable for those who have some natural teeth remaining that will improve chewing ability, provides support for facial muscles and greatly enhances the facial appearance and smile. Immediate:These are inserted immediately after the removal of your remaining teeth. To make this possible, the dentist takes measurements and makes the models of your jaws during a preliminary visit. Overdenture:A removable denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or implants. The natural teeth must be prepared to provide stability and support for the denture. The denture process takes about one month and five appointments. Once the initial diagnosis is made, an impression and a wax bite are created to determine vertical dimensions and proper jaw position. Then, a ‘try-in’ is placed to assure proper color, shape and fit and finally the patient`s completeddentureis placed, following any minor adjustments. Over time, adjusting thedenturemay be necessary. As you age, your mouth naturally changes, which can affect the fit of the denture. Your bone and gum ridges can recede or shrink, resulting in a loose-fitting denture. Loose dentures can cause various problems, including sores or infections.Denturesthat do not fit properly can be adjusted. Avoid using a do-it-yourself kit to adjust your dentures, as this can damage the appliance beyond repair. Glues sold over-the-counter often contain harmful chemicals and should not be used on a denture.

Brighton Porcelain Veneers Veneers are a widely used cosmetic dental procedure in which our Brighton veneers dentists place a covering over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only applied to teeth that will be visible when a patient is talking or smiling. The use of porcelain veneers becomes a viable option if your teeth are chipped, stained or gapped, if the enamel on your teeth are badly worn or if your teeth are not properly aligned? Our veneers dentist in Brighton can provide excellent cosmetic dentistry services and smile enhancement through the application of dental veneers. The procedure used by our professional Brighton dentists can be direct or indirect. The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using a procedure called bonding.The indirect technique usually involves two appointments since the veneers will be fabricated at a dental laboratory. During your initial appointment, your teeth will be prepared, impressions will be taken and your teeth will be given a temporary covering. It usually takes from two to three weeks for your new veneers to return from the laboratory, at which time the covering is removed and the veneers are bonded to your teeth. These laboratory-fabricated veneers are usually made from porcelain or pressed ceramic, and are very esthetic. The advantage of veneers over crowns is that much less tooth material is removed, making the procedure more comfortable for the patient. Dental porcelain veneers, also known as dental laminates, are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. In most cases, porcelain veneers are used to correct orthodontic and cosmetic issues with your teeth. These thin shells adhere to your teeth and can improve the appearance of each tooth through changes to its color, size, length or shape.
