The care offered by your dentist
REMOVABLE DENTAL PROSTHESES
We offer a complete range of removable, complete or partial dentures; precision attachments on dental implants or natural teeth. The complete prosthesis (or denture) replaces all the missing natural teeth from the top or bottom.
If you lose a tooth, you usually need to replace it with a prosthesis to prevent neighboring teeth from changing position.
Caring for dentures
It is just as important to take care of dentures as natural teeth.
- Clean them daily. Plaque and tartar build up on dentures just as easily as on natural teeth.
- Brush your teeth and gums with a soft bristle brush. Clean your teeth well and massage your gums. If the toothbrush irritates you, run it under hot water to soften it OR try a clean damp cloth wrapped around your finger.
- Soak the dentures in a lukewarm solution, half water, half white vinegar or a denture cleaner. This softens the plaque and tartar which are then easier to remove by brushing. If the dentures have metal hooks, soak them only in lukewarm water.
