It is also good to know that these changes are accelerated when some of your teeth are missing. The space created in the gums and the lack of stimulation of the toothless bones speed up this process.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Will my dentures hold up well?<\/h2>\n<p>Follow-up appointments allow the denturist to adjust the comfort of your dentures and preserve their aesthetic form and proper function. Over time, adjustments will be made if, for example, your jawbone or gums recede. We can then restore stability to your denture using relining or rebasing techniques.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Will I be able to properly articulate with my dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>After a normal period of adaptation, which varies from one person to another, there is no doubt that you will be able to express yourself naturally! \u00a0To do this, you can practice by reading aloud and speaking more slowly. \u00a0This will help avoid that sudden jaw movements lift your denture and make it \u201cslam\u201d shut.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"title-2\">Two types of removable acrylic dentures<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Partial plate<\/h2>\n<p>Do you have one or more missing teeth? \u00a0The removable partial acrylic plate could meet your needs. \u00a0These plates, sometimes called a \u201cbridge\u201d, help with chewing, speaking and, of course, enhancing that friendly smile.<\/p>\n<p>The partial plate rests on the gums and is anchored to the remaining teeth with clasps.<\/p>\n<p>Its base is made of acrylic resin, with or without metal. \u00a0This type of plate is very easy to care for and can be made quickly from precise impressions and measurements. \u00a0It provides great comfort.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-3\">Full plate<\/h2>\n<p>Have you lost all your teeth on the upper or lower jaw? \u00a0Or has a major deterioration of your teeth forced dental professionals to extract them? \u00a0The removable acrylic full plate would be just right for you.<\/p>\n<p>Rest assured, today\u2019s dentures are very natural looking and, since they are constructed over a span of several appointments, they are comfortable and fit perfectly in your mouth.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"title-2\">A very simple procedure<\/h1>\n<p>Dentures are made to help you chew properly, but also to restore your confidence so you can fully bite into life again.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your circumstances might be, we invite you to make an appointment with a denturist or another professional at Lapointe Dental Centres to find out more about your options and talk over any questions you might have about dentures.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone should be able to flash a radiant smile and rely on strong, healthy teeth!<\/p>\n<p>Make an appointment for a free Global Dentition Consultation<sup>TM<\/sup> with a professional from Lapointe Dental Centres!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
