Have you lost some or all of your teeth? If you have, you need dentures to restore the missing teeth, your smile, bite, and confidence. Your first step should be finding a local denture clinic. Read on to learn more. 

Clinic Reviews

Modern dental clinics have a substantial online presence that enables them to communicate with their clients. A Google search will reveal the various denture clinics in your locality. Check the clinics' online reviews to determine if previous customers were happy with the dentists' work. Other than a "good service" review, go for testimonials detailing how customers have benefited from the clinic's services. For instance, it could be that the clinic rectified poorly made dentures or helped a client with missing teeth and dental infections. Such reviews will give insights into the experience and professionalism of the dentists working at the clinic. 

Services Offered

The dentures clinic should offer a wide range of services. Remember, getting your dentures is a small part of your dental health journey. Therefore, consider clinics that offer related services such as tooth extraction, oral surgery, tooth whitening, installation of veneers, root canal treatment, restorative and paediatric dentistry. Besides, check the types of dentures that the clinic installs. Below are the various types of dentures: 

• A complete denture is ideal for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. The dentist will pull out your remaining teeth and provide you with a set of dentures that can be removed at will.
• Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth.
• A fixed bridge denture comprises a surgical procedure that cements an artificial tooth to your jaw. It is perfect when you need to replace several teeth.
• Implant-supported dentures utilise implants to support the denture. They last longer than the standard dentures and ensure comfort when using the dentures. 

Pricing 

Ask the dentures clinic for a quote to determine if you can afford their services. If you have insurance coverage, ask whether the clinic offers bulk-billing services. If not, you do not have to worry since you can always seek a refund from the insurer. 

When looking for a dentures clinic, examine its reviews, services, and pricing. It is always wise to ask for the dentist's opinion before deciding the dentures you need. For example, you may require teeth alignment or cleaning before getting the dentures. Additionally, your dentist could recommend temporary dentures to get your mouth acquainted with dentures before receiving the permanent dentures.
