Frequently Asked Questions

Should I leave my dentures in all the time?

It is recommended that dentures be removed at night. This will enable your gums and other denture-bearing tissue to relax, recover and become exposed to natural antibacterial agents.
Will I be able to eat normally with dentures?

Although it may initially take some getting used to, you should eventually be able to eat most foods comfortably and normally. For harder or stickier foods, it may be advisable to apply a small amount of denture adhesive to improve stability. However, it is recommended that you consult with your prosthetist first. Patients must realise dentures never replace natural teeth for functionality.
Will dentures make me look different?

Thanks to modern prosthetics, dentures can be implemented in a way that looks extremely natural. Also, the shade of your dentures can be matched to your natural tooth colour.
Will I still need to arrange regular denture check-ups if I have a full set of dentures?

Yes. It is important to organise regular dental prosthetist examinations so that your oral health, and the continued suitability of your dentures, can be monitored and assessed.
What is the difference between immediate and conventional dentures?

Conventional dentures are produced and implemented after particular teeth have been removed and only when the gum area around them has fully healed—which could take an extended period of time. On the other hand, immediate dentures are those that are inserted as soon as the teeth extractions have taken place, but don’t require the patient to be without teeth while they heal. Patients will require relines both temporary and permanent. Ideally if the patient has had many extractions the denture may need to be replaced after 12 months.
What should I do if my dentures become damaged?

First of all, it is important not to continue wearing them. This can cause damage to your teeth and gums. Do not attempt to make repairs yourself. Using glues and your own replacement parts could prove hazardous to your health. In the event of damage or breakage, it is advisable to seek a qualified prosthetist as soon as possible.
How do I clean my dentures?

The optimal approach will differ depending on the type of dentures you have. In most cases, however, it’s advisable to clean the dentures in the following manner. Remove them, apply a small amount of soap and water to your denture brush, then scrubbing them gently. The dentures should then be placed in a container with water or denture soaking solution.
