Denture Care

Advice and tips on caring for your dentures

Only your dental professional is qualified to diagnose your oral health and adjust your denture or partial.
Dentures should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, denture tooth brush with round-ended bristles.
Do not clean your denture with toothpastes as they are too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Just brush and rinse the denture under some cold water.
Dentures warp if placed in hot water.
Inspect your denture regularly for worn teeth.
Worn and stained dentures can make you look older and cause your dentures to function poorly.
Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dental professional.
Be sure to visit your dentists regularly.
Have loose dentures checked immediately as they can cause friction and pressure on the gum tissues and bones.

Implant Retained Dentures

Usually, when you lose a tooth, it is best for your oral health to have it replaced. Missing teeth can affect your bite as well as your ability to speak and chew. Their loss can increase the burden on your remaining teeth and can cause muscle pain in your jaws and headaches. And of course, losing a tooth can affect your appearance. The following information reviews replacing missing teeth with an implant retained denture. Although many patients have no problem wearing an upper denture, some people find it difficult to wear and eat with lower dentures.
