Denture
A set of well-designed removable prosthesis, under the right circumstances, could be an excellent solution to bring back lost masticating and speech function, meanwhile enhance facial esthetics by restoring lip support. ＊(three conventional complete denture cases below / no implant was placed)
Patient was unsatisfied with function & esthetics with his old dentures
We’ve established anterior esthetics of the new dentures according to patient’s photo at an younger age to restore a more confident smile.
Insufficient lip support and deep nasolabial folds when not wearing dentures
Proper lip support with new dentures
Excess lip support and inadequate vertical dimension from existing dentures which makes speech and swallowing difficult
New dentures were fabricated with proper measurements, which restored patient’s facial profile and assisted functional rehabilitation
Removable dentures could be coupled with dental implants or attachments to enhance their retention, stability and support, thus allow us to create a stable yet low profile prosthesis for maximum comfort. ＊(implant supported overdenture case below)
The implant titanium bar supported overdenture not only provides superior retention and stability compare to conventional complete dentures, but also does not cover the palate for greater comfort
Her old dentures were unretentive, which makes eating difficult and her smile unnatural
New dentures are retentive and they also restored lost vertical dimension, giving her a more natural smile
The old dentures presented with inadequate lip support and vertical dimension, which makes her facial profile looks older than her actual age
New dentures were fabricated from though rough facial esthetic and functional analysis, restoring her to a younger facial profile
Although function is extremely important, you should be able to smile with confidence at the same time. Dr. Tso takes pride by insisting on setting anterior esthetic area personally, paying attention to customized details like teeth arrangement, angulation, flange thickness and smile arch to pursue the perfect smile that belongs to you. ＊(no implant was placed on case below)
