Question 1

When do I need dentures?

Accepted Answer

Dentures become necessary when multiple teeth are missing and chewing function as well as aesthetics are impaired. Missing teeth lead to jawbone loss and can alter your facial features. The earlier you take action, the better the treatment options and the more jawbone can be preserved.

Question 2

What is the difference between partial dentures and full dentures?

Accepted Answer

Partial dentures replace missing teeth when you still have healthy natural teeth that can serve as anchors. Full dentures are used when all teeth in one jaw are missing. Both are individually crafted by dental technicians and customized to your personal situation.

Question 3

How long does it take to get my dentures?

Accepted Answer

The fabrication of dentures involves several steps and typically takes 2-4 weeks at our Vienna practice. First, we take precise impressions, followed by fittings with the dental technician until the dentures fit perfectly. We take the necessary time to ensure your dentures fit optimally and you feel comfortable with them.

Question 4

What happens to my jawbone if I don't wear dentures?

Accepted Answer

Without the load from teeth or dentures, the body continuously breaks down the jawbone – similar to an unused house foundation. This bone loss is well documented scientifically and progresses without treatment. Timely prosthetic care helps slow bone resorption and preserve your facial structure.

Question 5

Can I eat and speak normally with dentures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with well-fitted dentures you can eat, speak, and smile normally again. There is an initial adjustment period of a few days to weeks. At our Vienna practice, we make all necessary adjustments so you feel confident quickly and regain your quality of life.
