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.
