The Importance of a Healthy Smile

A Free Consultation to Get Started

Dentures are an investment in your smile, comfort, and quality of life. Proper care ensures they last longer and maintain their fit and appearance. It is also important to remember to book your annual check-up with us to maintain your oral health is in check!

Do:

Clean Daily: Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner to remove plaque and food particles.

Soak Overnight: Dentures need to stay moist to retain their shape. Soak them in water or a denture-cleaning solution overnight.

Rinse After Meals: Remove and rinse your dentures with water after eating to eliminate debris and maintain oral hygiene.

Visit Your Denturist Regularly: Schedule regular check-ups to ensure your dentures fit properly and are free from damage or wear.

Handle with Care: Dentures are delicate. Hold them securely over a soft towel or basin of water to avoid breakage if dropped.

Don’t:

Use Harsh Cleaners: Avoid abrasive toothpaste or putting bleach into the water when you soak, as these can damage or discolor your dentures.

Wear Them 24/7: Give your gums a rest by removing your dentures at night. Prolonged wear can cause irritation and infection.

Use Hot Water: Hot water can warp dentures. Always clean them with lukewarm or cold water.

Neglect Oral Health: Even with dentures, clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily.

Ignore Discomfort: If your dentures feel loose or cause pain, visit your denturist for adjustments.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

• Improved Stability: One of the most significant advantages of implant-supported dentures is the superior stability they provide. With traditional dentures, adhesive products are often needed to keep them in place, but implants secure your dentures, so you can eat, laugh, and speak confidently.
• Better Comfort: Unlike traditional dentures, which can sometimes cause irritation or discomfort from rubbing against your gums, implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, reducing sore spots and pressure points.
• Bone Preservation: Dental implants help preserve the natural bone in your jaw by stimulating bone growth, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with traditional dentures over time.
• Enhanced Chewing Function: With implant-supported dentures, patients experience improved chewing efficiency, allowing them to enjoy a wider variety of foods without the worry of their dentures shifting.
