Dentures Adjustment Nicosia, Cyprus

What is a denture? A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and adjacent supportive tissues.It is made of acrylic resin, sometimes in combination with various metals.Complete dentures replace all the teeth, while a partial denture fills in spaces created by missing teeth and prevents other teeth from changing position. Kinds of dentures Complete dentures are either conventional or immediate.A conventional denture is placed in the mouth about a month or two after all the teeth are removed. The delay is necessary to allow tissues to heal. On the other hand, an immediate denture is placed immediately after the extractions or it is prepared in advance and fitted on the day the extractions are completed, so that the patient can leave the office not without teeth, but actually with all his/her new teeth. Importance of dentures A denture improves chewing ability and speech, and provides support for facial muscles. Additionally, it enhances the appearance and smile. Advice for denture wearers 1. New denture wearers need time to get accustomed to their new teeth, because even the best fitting dentures will feel awkward at first. 2. Also for the new denture wearers it is normal to expect some discomfort during eating, for several days to a few weeks. They might need a few appointments for post insertion adjustments. 3. To prevent breaking denture, brush it over a towel or sink half-filled with water. Lightly brush dentures with a soft nylon toothbrush or recommended denture brush. Dentures should be cleaned daily because plaque forms on dentures in the same way it forms on natural teeth. 4. Place dentures in a cleanser overnight or for at least 20 minutes daily. This should remove most stains and keep mouth infections and odors down. 5. Massage your gums daily with a soft tooth brush for one minute once daily or as directed. 6. Do not forget your dental check-ups,
