Denture
relining
Dentures
sit on top of the gum.
But the gum changes shape,
particularly in the period
following extraction.
Dentures may become mobile.
The denture can be relined
to improve the fit, but
this will make the denture
heavier.
Over
denture
Partial
dentures can sometimes
move as gums change shape.
Securing the denture to an existing tooth can be the solution.
A stud can be fixed to an adjacent tooth.
The partial denture then 'clicks' onto this stud to secure it in
place.
Missing
teeth options
When
a number of teeth are
missing,
there are various options
available.
You may choose to have
a denture.
But over time, your gums
will recede and the denture
may not fit as well.
You could choose to have
Implants to secure the
denture.
One way is a small number
of Implants with a bar and
magnets to hold the denture
another is a small number
of Implants to which the
denture is secured or a
greater number of Implants
onto which a set of teeth
and permanently fitted.
Fixatives
Dentures
should be cleaned thoroughly
either with warm water
or a specialist denture
toothpaste. Shake off excess
water.
Apply the fixative however, 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!!
