Major tooth loss, the kind that dentures can address, could lead to concerns with your loved one’s daily life, from eating to speaking. This is why we ensure that mobility-challenged individuals, including those in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, have access to dentures. In today’s blog, the team at HomeCare talks about how we assist with creating and maintaining dental prosthetics.
The Benefits of a Full Smile
When people have a full smile, this enables them to eat their favorite foods and to smile with confidence. Clear speech and the ability to communicate properly is improved, and they often simply feel more confident in themselves and comfortable. When we lack a full smile, this can make us feel older and lead to stress and strain in the smile, causing discomfort. Poor nutritional intake can weaken overall health too! But with dentures, we can help restore the ability of a home-bound patient to speak and eat properly, and enjoy a better overall quality of life.
Creating Custom Prosthetics
Our team can bring mobile units to your family member’s house or room, so even if they can’t leave the hospital or nursing home, or their house, they can obtain the same level of care as they would visiting a dental office. We can take detailed impressions on-site and send them to our lab, where the dentures will be crafted. Our team can then adjust the fit in follow-up visits, so patients obtain a set of dentures that fit comfortably and offer improved function and beauty to their smiles. We can assist with full or partial dentures, creating prosthetics custom-fitted for your loved one’s smile.
Repair and Maintenance
We can also help your loved ones maintain their current dental prosthetics or the new ones we’ve provided, so they stay strong and able to last for years to come. We have portable on-site cleaning units to thoroughly clean the prosthetics, removing plaque and tartar buildup left behind by food and drink, so your loved ones avoid issues related to harmful oral bacteria. Often, the presence of disease-causing bacteria can be linked to worsening inflammatory illnesses, from diabetes to dementia.
If you have any questions about how our mobile units can help patients and their families in the San Juan Capistrano community, then contact our team today. We look forward to helping your loved ones enjoy their best possible smiles, even if they are confined to their house or an assisted living facility!
