Wouldn't it be nice if only you and your dentist knew that you are wearing dentures?

• A natural look is possible when your dentist and technician pay careful attention to every detail.
• We have a wide range of material and moulding techniques to give excellent fit and comfort including soft or cushion lining where the lower gum is very shrunk .
• We pride ourselves on the quality of the dentures we offer, whichever type you choose.

Cleaning your dentures

• Avoid effervescent tablet cleaners. They can alter the colour of teeth over a period of time.
• Use denture toothpaste and brush and clean them as you would natural teeth. Do this outside the mouth.
• Do not use ordinary toothpaste as it can be too abrasive. For difficult or persistent stains use Rembrandt or Denclen liquid cleaners. Follow the instructions carefully.
• Take great care not to drop your dentures. Always clean them over a sink half full of water to break the fall.
• Occasionally Candida infection (thrush) occurs. Immerse clean dentures in a diluted solution of Milton (half a tablet in a glass of water) for one hour.
• If it recurs, consult your dentist.

Soft linings

• These are delicate and should be cleaned gently with lukewarm water and a brush
• Avoid chemical cleaners as they weaken the lining.
• Tartar: Occasionally the dentures will need to be returned to the dental technician for ultrasonic cleaning of crusty deposits (tartar).
• A spare set of dentures is always handy in case of an accident.
• A copy of the original set is not expensive. Your dentist can advise.
• Denture wearers must have their mouth examined every 12 months. This is part of the screening program for oral cancer detection and prevention.
