Flexi Denture For Tooth Loss
Patient Diagnosis
After losing her teeth due to advanced gum disease, this patient came to our dentists in Milton Keynes looking to restore her pride in her smile. It was apparent from our dentist’s first inspection that extensive work was needed to restore this patient’s oral health. Those who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease usually require a bone graft and implants to replace them. However, this patient was concerned about that procedure, so our dental specialists opted for a flexi denture instead.
How We Helped
Flexi dentures are made from transparent thermoplastic material with no attachments, resulting in a more comfortable and flexible denture. They’re also more durable than traditional dentures and will not shatter or crack when dropped. Considering all of these factors, our team decided a flexi denture was best suited for this patient, given her hesitancy regarding a bone graft and desire for comfort and convenience.
As you can see from the before-and-after photos, the flexi denture has completely transformed this patient’s smile. The damaged teeth that remained intact have been replaced by straight white teeth, and the transparent denture base blends seamlessly with the natural gums. This patient was advised to brush her flexi denture with denture paste to keep her mouth in tip-top condition. Denture paste is less abrasive than toothpaste and will reduce staining over time.
Our patient was over the moon with the transformation and immensely grateful for the work of our dentists. If you want to reclaim your smile in a similar way, get in touch with our team.
