Transform Your Smile
DENTURES
If you are missing several teeth, or have several badly damaged teeth that can no longer be saved, then dentures may be a solution for you. Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth. They are natural-looking false teeth that fit over your gums after your natural teeth are removed. Dentures come in many configurations, but they are all designed to contain gum-colored acrylic base and false teeth. Dentures can be removed and put back in your mouth.
Dentures can restore the functionality of your mouth so that you can eat and speak properly. This can protect your digestive health and give you confidence when speaking in social situations or when you just want to flash a warm smile. And because they are custom built based on impressions of your mouth made before your teeth are removed, they are designed to be a perfect fit for you.
There are several types of dentures including partial dentures, conventional (or traditional) full dentures, immediate full dentures, and overdentures.

Tips
Proper Denture Care
Handle Carefully
When handling your dentures, hold them over a folded towel or other soft surface because they are delicate and can easily break if dropped.
Avoid Drying
Don’t let your dentures dry out when they are out of your mouth. Place your denture in a glass of plain water or water mixed with a denture cleaning product when you are not wearing them. But be sure that the water is not too hot as that can warp your denture.
Brush Daily
Brush your dentures daily using a soft toothbrush. This will not only keep them fresh and clean, but it will help keep them from becoming stained over time. You should also brush the rest of your mouth as normal including your tongue and the roof of your mouth before reinserting your dentures.
Ultrasonic Cleaner
Ultrasonic denture cleaners can be used as part of your regular care for your denture, but don’t let that stop you from also giving them a daily brushing.
Annual Dentist Checkup
Always visit Dr. Thomas at least once a year to have your denture and the fit checked professionally. And don’t attempt to make adjustments to your denture on your own as that can damage them.
