Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing natural teeth. A complete denture replaces all your natural teeth and is typically made from acrylic material. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and are held in place by clasps that fit around your remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures can be made from acrylic or, for added comfort and strength, chrome material.
Will anyone be able to tell my dentures apart from my natural teeth?
No, not easily. Thanks to advancements in denture technology, modern dentures are designed to look highly natural. Significant research goes into crafting teeth that closely mimic the appearance of your natural teeth.
What are Immediate Dentures?
Immediate dentures are made before your teeth are extracted. Chris takes impressions of your teeth, and the denture is created to replace the teeth that will be removed. The denture is placed immediately after extraction.
However, as the bone structure and surrounding tissues heal, the immediate denture may become loose and ill-fitting. Around 4-6 months after extractions, a reline will be needed. Further relines may be required as your mouth continues to heal and change, depending on your healing process.
How should I clean my dentures?
It's important to clean your dentures with soap and water or a specific denture cleaning cream. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can create small scratches that may trap bacteria and lead to staining. Denture cleaning tablets are also recommended to maintain hygiene and freshness.
How often should I replace my dentures?
Dentures should generally be replaced every 5-7 years. Additionally, it’s recommended that your dentures be examined by a dental prosthetist every 2 years to ensure proper fit and function.
Should I remove my dentures at night?
While this depends on personal preference, it’s recommended to remove your dentures at night. If you choose to wear them overnight, ensure they are thoroughly cleaned before bed. Removing them at night gives your gums and tissues a chance to rest.
What can I expect from a consultation appointment?
During your consultation, Chris will assess your denture needs and explain a customised treatment plan for you. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions and get answers regarding your dentures and oral care.
