Dentures To Replace Missing Teeth
Dentures, commonly known as false teeth, have been a trusted dental solution for centuries. In fact, the earliest use of dentures dates back to the 7th century BC! Over time, denture technology has advanced significantly. Today, we use lighter, stronger materials to create dentures that are more durable, natural-looking, and comfortable than ever before.
Superior comfort and fit for Modern Dentures
One of the most important aspects of dentures is their comfort and fit. As your mouth naturally changes over the years, your dentures may become loose or uncomfortable. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need an entirely new set of dentures.
At Rock Dental, we often recommend relining your existing dentures to improve their fit. If relining isn’t enough, we can create custom dentures using advanced techniques that replicate the best features of your current set, ensuring optimal comfort and functionality.
Why Choose a Specialised Denture Clinic?
Crafting well-fitting, comfortable dentures requires skill and precision. At Rock Dental, we collaborate with highly experienced denture technicians to ensure you receive top-quality dentures that meet your unique needs. Choosing the right denture clinic is crucial for achieving a natural, comfortable fit that enhances your quality of life.
Types of Dentures
Here at Rock Dental, we offer many types of denture appliance:
Full Dentures
For patients with no teeth. The prosthesis takes support from the gums..
Partial Dentures
For patients with some remaining teeth. The prosthetic is built around and takes support from existing teeth. Metal dentures are the most common form.
Implant Retained Dentures
These are dentures which use dental implants to help secure them. Implants are small titanium screws that are fitted into your jaw bones. Following successful integration, dentures are constructed which derive support and retention from these implants. This is one of the most popular techniques for constructing lower arch dentures.
Denture Repair
False teeth require lots of maintenance and care. Should they crack or break we can usually carry out a denture repair. If you suspect that your denture may be close to breaking please come and see us so we can try to strengthen it before it breaks. If it has already broken, we will do our best to provide you with a denture repair within a few days.
Denture Cleaning: Essential Tips for Maintaining Healthy False Teeth
Just like natural teeth, keeping your dentures clean is crucial for your oral health. Harmful bacteria and germs thrive on dentures, making proper cleaning habits a must. By following a few simple steps, you can maintain your dentures and avoid unnecessary issues.
Remove Dentures Before Bedtime
First and foremost, never wear your dentures while sleeping. During the night, your saliva production decreases, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. To prevent this, always remove your dentures before bed. Then, clean them thoroughly with warm water and a soft brush.
Clean Before and After Each Use
In the morning, before putting your dentures back in, repeat the cleaning process. Make it a habit to clean your dentures after every meal as well. This regular routine helps remove food particles and keeps your dentures fresh throughout the day.
Professional Denture Refurbishing Services
Sometimes, dentures can become difficult to clean or show signs of tarnishing. If you’re struggling to keep them spotless, bring your dentures to us for professional refurbishing. We’ll restore them to their best condition so they feel fresh and comfortable again.
By maintaining a consistent cleaning routine, you’ll ensure that your dentures stay in great shape, supporting both your oral health and overall comfort.
