I would suggest that anyone opening a practice set up a shadowing session with Dr. Uttma and her staff. They'll show you exactly what patient's expect during a visit. There have been so many times where I've scheduled appts with other offices and they don't even do the work. No…NJ J

Dentures & Partials What to Expect
Dentures Procedure in Plantation FL
Your denture will be custom fabricated to your unique specifications. Dr. Dham will work cooperatively with patients to create a denture that looks and feels most like their natural smile. The first step is to create a mold of your mouth. This will be sent to a dental lab to be used to create your set of dentures.
Dr. Dham provides comprehensive restorative dentistry from under one roof. Our Plantation, FL dentist office offers comprehensive services to help patients receive consistent and predictable results. She is able to extract any necessary teeth from the comfort of our Westside Dental Office.
Implant-supported Denture
Many patients opt to secure their denture using two or more dental implants. Dental implants are surgically implanted into the jaw bone and used as anchors to hold a denture in place. Dental implant-supported dentures support bone retention and help stabilize your jaw.
Implant-supported dentures provide added stability and confidence. Patients are able to enjoy a diet without restriction and may live without the fear that their denture will slip while eating or speaking.
If you have dentures, you should wear them at all times during the day, preferably for at least eight hours every day. This will allow your gums and jawbone to adjust to the dentures, decreasing the likelihood of discomfort. At night, when your gums are at their most relaxed, we recommend that you remove them.
It is advised that dentures be removed at night to allow the gums some rest. If you have partial dentures we recommend taking them out and soaking them in a denture cleaner while you sleep.
Normal recovery time for consuming solid foods is three to four weeks. When you’re ready to eat again, you may find it easier to chew if you chop your meal into smaller pieces to gradually adjust to chewing.
Clasps, which are extensions of partial dentures, wrap around the tooth to secure it in place. To replace lost teeth, partial dentures are bonded to the patient’s existing teeth and clasps hold them in place.
You should remove your partial dentures and immerse them in cold water to clean them. Brush them gently with a wet denture brush or a standard soft-bristled toothbrush to remove food debris, plaque, and other deposits. You may use a denture cleanser or a non-abrasive toothpaste.
