If you're looking for a Denture Clinic in Kitchener, you are likely considering a new pair of dentures or a transition from problematic teeth to dentures. Denture clinics can provide you with services you need to have a new denture made. However, General and Family Dentists can also provide these services. So, who should you choose? Well, let me give you a bit of information so you can decide if you would like to see a Dentist or Denture Clinic in Kitchener for your restorative services.
Denturists make partial and complete dentures. They are experts in doing so. Their talents allow people with few to no teeth to enjoy food and regain function again. Denturists, however, are not able to remove or extract teeth and perform other work such as grafting and jaw contouring sometimes required prior to denture fabrication. So, you may not be able to have all denture-related services provided at a Denture Clinic in Kitchener.
Some Family Dentists are highly experienced at making complete and partial dentures. Additionally, a Family Dentist can provide you with tooth extraction and other surgical services in conjunction with denture therapy. So, can you enlist the help of your Dentist for these services but still see a Denturist for completion of your final denture? Absolutely, you can. However, a Dentist making your final denture will have a different perspective on things. They will be able to identify problems with anchor teeth and jawbone in advance and fix these things. Having your Dentist in Kitchener provide all services increases convenience for you. All work is completed in one place and with the fewest appointments necessary. This approach also eliminates need for pristine communication between Dentist and Denturist. Let's face it, having the same qualified person provide all services from start to finish has huge advantages.
Often times, Denturists work up a denture case while using an Oral Surgeon for extractions. The result, however, is that you pay higher fees by enlisting a Surgeon to remove teeth. If you find a Family Dentist who provides surgical service, you get the benefit of competent service at a more manageable price point.
So, you might want to discuss treatment with your Dentist before searching for a Denture Clinic in Kitchener. Ultimately, determine your own comfort level with treatment arrangements and do what you feel is best for you.
