Creating Your Custom Denture
To ensure a comfortable and natural fit, we take precise images and measurements before crafting your dentures in Calhoun or partial. A well-fitted denture is essential for both comfort and functionality, increasing patient compliance and the overall success of the product. We will work closely with you throughout the process to make sure we achieve the best possible fit.
Maintaining Your Denture and Oral Health
Once you receive your denture, proper care is crucial for maintaining its longevity and keeping your mouth healthy. Cleaning both your denture and gum tissues daily helps prevent irritation, bad breath, and infections.
Daily Cleaning Routine
- Rinse After Meals: Always rinse your denture after eating to remove food particles and bacteria. Placing a towel in the sink while handling your denture can prevent breakage if it slips.
- Nighttime Care: Before bed, remove your denture and brush it using a non-abrasive denture cleaner. Avoid regular toothpaste, as it can be too harsh and cause damage.
- Soaking for Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for soaking your denture overnight in a denture cleanser. This helps keep it fresh, free of stains, and properly hydrated.
Caring for Your Gums and Remaining Teeth
Even if you wear a full denture, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene:
- Brush any remaining teeth to remove plaque and bacteria.
- Massage your gum tissues to stimulate circulation and keep them healthy.
- Clean your tongue to eliminate bacteria and improve overall oral hygiene.
By following these care tips, you can extend the life of your dentures in Calhoun and keep your mouth feeling fresh and comfortable.
