Denture

Dentures come in different forms, but they all serve the same purpose: replacing teeth that are loose or missing. Dentures are removable replacements and can be either full or partial. Sometimes, natural teeth need to be prepared for dentures to fit correctly. In some cases, extractions are necessary, and your mouth must heal before fitting new dentures.

 

Immediate Dentures:

Immediate dentures are a convenient option while waiting for your permanent set to be made. These dentures can be placed right after tooth removal, providing a temporary solution as your mouth heals. They might need adjustments over time to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Once the dentures are properly fitted, you will quickly adapt to them, enhancing your smile with this easy-to-care-for option.

 

Caring for Your Dentures:

Proper care for your dentures is essential for maintaining their condition and your oral health. Here are some tips:

 

Handle with Care: Be gentle to avoid bending or damaging your dentures.

Daily Cleaning: Brush your dentures daily to remove bacteria and particles. Clean your mouth, gums, and tongue, too.

Overnight Soaking: Soak your dentures overnight in a mild solution to keep them fresh and maintain their shape.

 

Regular Check-Ups:

Even with dentures, regular dental check-ups are crucial. Dr. Liu will examine and professionally clean your dentures, ensuring they fit well to prevent slippage and discomfort. Additionally, routine exams allow us to check the health of your mouth and address any issues promptly.
