Full Dentures

Getting full dentures involves removing all the natural teeth and replacing them with prosthetic teeth. At Radiance Dental, we understand if you are transitioning into full dentures, you’re likely to have questions. Dr. Geetika Chawla and her experienced team are happy to walk you through the process and answer all of your questions.

 

Having full dentures does not mean you will compromise appearance or function. In fact, getting full dentures can be beneficial in the following ways:

• Improved Appearance: Dentures can replace missing teeth and give you the confidence to smile again. Also, missing teeth can cause facial muscles to sag. Full dentures can prevent this from happening.
• Restore proper chewing and speaking: Missing teeth can mean difficulties chewing and eating. It can also cause problems speaking. Getting full dentures will help improve chewing and speech difficulties associated with missing teeth.
• Increased Self-esteem: Improving your appearance and smile is not only about looking better, but it can increase confidence. Improved confidence and self-esteem carry over to almost all areas of your life.

Getting full dentures can improve your appearance, functioning and quality of life. Dr. Chawla and her staff at Radiance Dental want you to have a positive dental experience. We aim to provide excellent customer service to meet your needs.

Sedation Dentistry

If just the thought of going to the dentist for a procedure brings on fear and anxiety, sedation dentistry is probably the right choice for you. Between 5 and 8 percent of Americans avoid going to the dentist due to dental phobia, but you don’t need to let your oral health suffer because of fear. At our office in Vancouver, WA, we offer a safe environment where we can comfort anxious patients through various sedation methods.

Sedation is mainly used when a patient has a high level of anxiety or dental phobia, not because of pain. At Radiance Dental, we can sedate our patients through intravenous sedation or a general anesthesia. These methods will make sure you can tend to your oral health while avoiding the anxiety that accompanies visiting the dentist.

IV administration is becoming a popular sedation option for many dentists. This type of sedation is administered through the veins, which allows for quicker effects and less recovery time than oral methods. Recommended for moderate to severe anxiety, intravenous sedation will put you in a deep state of relaxation while still conscious.

For severe cases, general anesthesia can be used. This method allows the patient to have dental procedures performed while in an unconscious state. You will be put in a light state of sedation before your procedure, and when you wake up, Dr. Geetika Chawla will have completed your treatment. This method is completely safe.
