Reconstructive Dentures
Reconstructive dentures are designed to restore a patient’s ability to eat. A lower conventional denture has become, essentially, a disability. When the teeth are removed, the jaw shrinks in a way that can cause a lower denture to become unwearable. Most times, a conventional denture can float in the patient’s mouth and cause sore spots to occur. Patients with reconstructive dentures can get unmatched stability only at Jeffersonville, Indiana dentist office.
Trusted Jeffersonville, Indiana dentist Dr. Kirchner uses a special technique to improve denture stability. He uses a special impression technique to capture even the most resorbed jaw in the impression. Then, he uses a special device to capture the bite. The device uses a patient-generated bite that is unmatched. Patients consistently remark on how stable Dr. Kirchner’s dentures feel. The final step in the records process involves using the patient’s muscles to determine where the lower teeth are positioned. This process compensates for the loss of bone that occurs when the teeth are removed. The increased stability gives patients greater confidence in eating and everyday activities.
