Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are made to replace all upper and/or lower missing teeth. Having complete dentures helps with chewing as well as supporting one’s facial structure and improving ones speech .Complete dentures can be either “conventional.’ or ‘Immediate.. We at Dentists also provide the latest Bio Functional Prosthetic System (BPS) and the Flexible Dentures.

Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed. They can also be held in place by attaching to dental implants that are surgically placed in the bone of the jaws.

Looking after your dentures

Dentures may feel a bit strange to begin with, but you’ll soon get used to wearing them.

Remove and gently clean your dentures daily. Soak and brush them with a soft-bristled brush and nonabrasive denture cleanser to remove food, plaque and other deposits. If you use denture adhesive, clean the grooves that fit against your gums to remove any remaining adhesive. Don’t use denture cleansers inside your mouth.

It is necessary to remove your dentures at night, by doing so can allow your gums to rest as you sleep. If you remove your dentures, they should be kept moist for example, in water in a suitable overnight denture-cleaning solution in a denture box provided by Dentists. This will stop the denture material from drying out and changing shape.

Dentures may break if you drop them, so you should clean them over a bowl or sink filled with water, or something soft such as a folded towel.

Oral Hygiene

• Keeping your mouth clean is just as important when you wear dentures.
• Remove & rinse dentures after every eating.
• If used, remove any remaining denture adhesive from your gums.
