At Dental Care Marylebone, we believe that wearing dentures
should not prevent you from having the confidence of a natural,
healthy looking smile.
Working closely with our dental technician, we use high quality
materials and new techniques to create natural looking dentures
that fit and work comfortably.
How soon after extractions can I have my dentures fitted?
Immediate dentures can be fitted on the day of the extractions. However, these immediate dentures will need modifying, re-lining or
replacing within the first 6 months due to the changes that will
take place in your gums after extraction. Your dentist will be
able to advise you further.
How long will it take to get accustomed to my new dentures?
Some people will get used to them very quickly; for others it
will take a little longer. It is often helpful to use a denture
fixative for the first few weeks.
Will my new dentures stay in position?
Well-designed dentures should stay firmly in place and fit your gums comfortably. However, due to the changes in your mouth, dentures may over time become loose or start slipping. If this
happens you should consult your dentist. A fixative cream can
be used to hold the dentures in place but not for an extended
period of time.
How should I clean my new dentures?
You should clean your dentures twice a day and will need to
remove your dentures before cleaning. You can either brush
them with a denture brush and toothpaste or a soft nail brush
and soap. It is also recommended to soak them regularly
in a special cleaning solution.
Even with full dentures, you still need to take good care of your mouth. Every morning and evening, brush your gums, tongue and the roof of your mouth with a soft-bristled brush. This
removes plaque and helps the circulation in your mouth. If you wear partial dentures, it is even more important that you brush your teeth thoroughly every day. This will help stop tooth decay and gum disease that can lead to you losing more of your teeth.
