Dentures are false teeth constructed to replace missing teeth. They are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues.
Conventional dentures are removable, available as partial or full dentures.
However, implants are the best and most modern option to replace teeth; a denture can be used as a semi-permanent solution or a temporary option during the transitional period while we wait for implants to integrate with the bone.
Gum level changes, particularly in the period following an extraction. As a result, dentures may become mobile.
The denture can be relined to improve the fit, but this will make the denture heavier.
Dentures should be cleaned thoroughly either with warm water or a specialist denture toothpaste. Using too much fixative may result in ‘oozing’.Using smaller amounts may provide better adhesion. The amount used will vary between dentures. A good fixative applied in the morning should last all day!
Partial dentures can sometimes move as the underlying gums change shape. Securing the denture to an existing tooth can be the solution. The partial denture then ‘clicks’ onto this to secure it.
