Dentures in Rotherham
At One44 Dental
If you are missing some or all of your teeth, One 44 Dental is extremely experienced at creating both partial and full dentures. There are various different materials to choose from including acrylic, metal or flexible dentures. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your gums to replace missing teeth and counteract any problems missing teeth may cause –such as problems eating, speaking, unwanted movement of existing teeth and facial sagging.
Unlike crowns and bridges, dentures need to be removed daily for cleaning. This helps maintain oral comfort, confidence, nutrition, long-term gum health, jaw alignment, appearance, and overall wellbeing. If you’re looking for dentures in Rotherham, contact us today and our friendly team will be happy to help.
how to look after your dentures?
Just like with natural teeth, dentures are susceptible to plaque and food build up. Denture care is important to keep your gums and any remaining teeth healthy.
Dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft brush and a cleaning agent such as soap and water or a specialist denture paste. Toothpaste is not recommended for dentures. The reason for this is that it is abrasive and can therefore cause tiny scratches on the denture which can harbour bacteria and increase staining.
There are soft brushes available that have been specifically designed for dentures. Ensure you brush every area of the denture. Bacteria from food particles can get between the teeth so use a toothbrush to rub gently between the spaces of every tooth.
One thing that dentists hear a lot of is how patients have broken their dentures by dropping them into the sink when cleaning them. We therefore recommend that you clean your denture over a sink full of water or over a folded towel to give your denture a soft landing if it is accidentally dropped.
when should you remove your dentures?
We recommend removing your denture overnight. It is important to give your gums chance to rest and receive beneficial exposure to the antibacterial agents naturally present in saliva.
When removing your denture place it either in a glass of water or a denture cleansing solution. It is important not to let the denture dry out. Ensure the water isn’t too hot as this could warp the shape of your denture.
Dentures in Rotherham: Types available
Full dentures
If you have few to no healthy teeth remaining, dentures are likely the best option for you. The process of getting dentures involves taking care of any existing oral health concerns, like removing damaged or diseased teeth and healing infections. Once your mouth has healed, usually 3-6 weeks after starting the process, you’ll get your final set of dentures.
partial dentures
If you are only missing a couple of teeth, then partial dentures may be the right choice for you. They usually cost less than full dentures and can quickly restore your smile. In some cases, you can even get same-day dentures installed.
