How are Dentures fitted?

A complete denture will be fitted if all your upper or lower teeth need to be removed or you're having an old complete denture replaced. The denture will usually be fitted as soon as your teeth are removed, which means you won't be without teeth. The denture will fit snugly over your gums and jawbone.
 

A partial denture is designed to fill in the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. It's a plastic, nylon, or metal plate with a number of false teeth attached to it. It usually clips onto some of your natural teeth via metal clasps, which hold it securely in place in your mouth. It can easily be unclipped and removed.

Cleaning Dentures

It's important to regularly remove plaque and food deposits from your dentures. Clean your dentures as frequently as you would your natural teeth (at least twice a day, morning and night).
 

You should:

• Brush your dentures with toothpaste or soap and water before soaking them to remove food particles.

• Soak them in a fizzy solution of denture-cleaning tablets to remove stains and bacteria (follow the manufacturer's instructions).

• Brush them again as you would your normal teeth (but don't scrub them too hard).

Dentures may break if you drop them, so you should clean them over a bowl or sink filled with water, or something soft like a folded towel.

When to see your  Dentist

You should continue to see your dentist regularly if you have dentures (even if you have complete dentures) so they can check for any problems. 
 

See your dentist as soon as possible if:

• Your dentures click when you're talking.

• Your dentures tend to slip, or you feel they no longer fit properly.

• Your dentures feel uncomfortable.

• Your dentures are visibly worn.

• You have signs of gum diseases or tooth decay, such as bleeding gums or bad breath.
