Dentures

Patient Testimonial

"Dr. Loberg is great. I followed him from a former office to his new office. I recommend him to all of my friends. He and his staff don't "push" extra services on you like so many other dental offices do"

The dentist may talk to patients about using complete dentures as part of his or her treatment plan. Modern dentures look very natural and can have a dramatic beneficial effect on a patient’s appearance and overall health. They have come a long way from the dentures previous generations used, and provide a more beautiful, natural-looking appearance than ever before.

Without support from a denture, facial muscles may sag, which can create the appearance of premature aging. Dentures also make it easier to eat and speak, which can have a positive impact on a patient’s confidence and emotional well-being. In many situations, patients will need to consider cosmetic treatments that will also benefit the functionality they need for everyday life.

During the preliminary visit, Dr. Löberg takes several measurements and makes models of the patient’s jaws. Tooth shades are chosen, and the models and information are sent to a dental laboratory. When the dentures are returned from the dental lab, they are placed in the mouth and adjusted for fit and comfort. Dr. Löberg and his dental team utilize several brands of dentures through his laboratories, including Flexite, Porcelain Teeth, Portrait IPN, Valplast, and Vitallium 2000.

At first, the dentures may feel awkward or bulky. However, after a short time, the patient’s mouth will adapt to their new denture, and they will be able to smile and chew with confidence.

Maintaining dentures is easy. Patients are instructed to brush their gums, tongue, and palate every morning before inserting their dentures to remove plaque, stimulate circulation, and ensure that their mouth is clean. Patients are also instructed to maintain regular dental appointments to watch for the development of dental concerns, as well as to give patients a chance to have their dentures readjusted when necessary.
