What does it involve?
Signature, or suction, dentures represent a contemporary approach to denture design, emphasizing enhanced fit and stability. In the creation of signature dentures, meticulous attention is given to the customization process. Tricia Thobaben takes precise impressions of the patient's oral anatomy, ensuring a snug fit with the natural contours of the gums. The dentures are then crafted to utilize a suction mechanism, optimizing the seal between the denture base and the oral tissues. This personalized approach not only provides a more secure fit but also minimizes the need for adhesives, contributing to a comfortable and natural-feeling solution for individuals seeking traditional denture alternatives.
How does it work?
The functionality of signature dentures relies on strategic impressions and tooth positioning with the denture design. Not everyone qualifies for a suction denture, as the shape of the ridge or muscle attachments do not allow for seal. By creating a precise seal along the gums, these dentures effectively harness the power of suction, anchoring themselves securely in the oral cavity. This suction mechanism minimizes denture movement during activities like eating and speaking, offering wearers increased stability and confidence. The result is a denture solution that not only restores oral function but also prioritizes comfort and a more natural experience for those who choose dentures for their daily lives.
