Candidates For Dentures
Were you aware that approximately one-quarter of adults aged 65 and older have lost all of their teeth? Dentures offer a common and reputable solution to tooth loss. They are so reliable and lifelike that you might have conversed with someone who wears dentures without even realizing it. Are you considering whether you could benefit from dentures?
To be an ideal candidate for this restorative treatment, you should:
- Desire to replace multiple or all of your teeth.
- Refrain from smoking or using other tobacco products.
- Possess a healthy jawbone (and we can assist with this!).
- Not experience chronic dry mouth.
- Be committed to maintaining your dentures at home.
- Continue regular dental check-ups – just like you would for natural teeth!
How do you properly care for your dentures? Maintain your dentures with routine cleanings and check-ups. Even individuals with impeccable prosthetic teeth require periodic visits to the dentist. During these appointments, we will assess the condition of your dentures and their fit, as well as examine your gums, tongue, jaw, and overall oral health. In summary, we prioritize your oral health, not just your teeth.
To maintain your dentures at home, follow these guidelines:
- Remove your dentures overnight to allow your mouth to rest.
- Soak your dentures in warm water, either with or without denture cleanser.
- Avoid soaking dentures with metal clasps in anything other than warm water.
- When not wearing your dentures, store them in water to prevent drying out and warping.
- NEVER soak them in hot water.
- While your dentures are out, clean and gently massage your gums.
- If your toothbrush causes discomfort to your gums, rinse it under warm water or consider using a finger wrapped in a clean, damp cloth.
- If you have partial dentures, continue to brush your natural teeth as usual.
