Is it possible to have implants and dentures put in on the same day?

Thursday, February 17th, 2011
Q.
Is it at all possoble to have implants and dentures put in on the same day?
A.
Yes, this is usually described as teeth in a day.  Obviously some pre-planning is required but handled properly this treatment works out very well.  Dr. Lemongello

I have a bad gag reflex with dentures. Can you inform me of any alternatives?

Thursday, February 17th, 2011
Q.
I find that I get a very bad gag reflex with dentures. Can you tell me of any alternatives please?
A.
Usually, gagging is associated with the size and thickness of the denture.  To reduce gagging the denture can be adjusted to a smaller size but this will compromise its fit and security.  A good option would be having at least 2 dental implants placed to hold the denture so it can be greatly reduced in size allowing greater comfort and security for you.  Dr. Lemongello

A.
It sounds as if you are a candidate for a bridge depending on the health of the remaining teeth.  If you prefer a bridge discuss this with the dentist.  Dr. Lemongello

Q.
Can you please tell me what a dental plate is? My dentist said I would need one but I am not sure what it actually is. Regards.

usually a “dental plate” is a common term for a complete denture to replace all missing teeth.  Dr. Lemongello

Does it take long to get used to partial dentures?

Monday, September 21st, 2009
Q.
I am going to be getting partial dentures for my bottom teeth next week. I was just wondering how long it generally takes to get used to it. Would I be okay going back to work the same day or should I take a day or two off? I work as a receptionist.

A.
A new partial denture can take time to get used to. You may require an adjustment or two but I don’t think you will need to take time off work.
