Introduction to Dentures

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. They are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and can be used to replace a few missing teeth (partial) or a full set of teeth (complete). Dentures mimic natural teeth and gums, offering comfort and functionality for chewing, speaking, and confident smiling.

At Sia-Tankiko Dental Clinic, we offer a range of denture options to meet the unique needs of our patients and help them achieve a natural-looking smile and improved oral health.

Denture Options

  1. Complete Dentures: Restore the appearance and function of a full set of teeth when all teeth are missing.
  2. Partial Dentures: Additionally, partial denture fill in the gaps created by missing teeth when some natural teeth remain, attaching to the remaining teeth for support.
  3. Implant-Supported Dentures: Secured by dental implants, these provide stability, prevent bone loss, and offer a more secure and comfortable fit.
  4. Overdentures: Designed to fit over remaining natural teeth or dental implants, providing added stability and support while preserving existing teeth or implants.
  5. Immediate Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extraction, these provides a temporary full set of teeth. They help while gums heal before transitioning to permanent dentures.
  6. Flexible Dentures: Made of a flexible material, these offer a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and are lightweight and durable.
  7. Custom Dentures: Tailored to the individual’s unique oral structure, these provide a precise fit, optimal comfort, and natural-looking aesthetics.

At Sia-Tankiko Dental Clinic, we provide comprehensive guidance on denture care to help our patients achieve optimal oral health and satisfaction with their dental prosthetic.

Denture Care Guidelines

  1. Daily Cleaning: Firstly, brush with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleaner to remove food particles and bacteria.
  2. Soaking: Additionally, soak in a cleaning solution or water overnight to keep them clean and moist.
  3. Handle with Care: Handle carefully to avoid damage and place a towel or water in the sink when cleaning to prevent breakage if dropped.
  4. Oral Hygiene: Brush your gums, tongue, and palate with a soft toothbrush before inserting dentures to maintain oral hygiene.
  5. Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups for denture examination, adjustment, and professional cleaning.
  6. Avoid Hot Water: Moreover, use lukewarm water for cleaning dentures, as hot water can warp the material.
  7. Storage: Store in a cleaning solution or water when not in use to prevent drying and shape distortion.
  8. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Lastly, avoid abrasive cleaners, whitening toothpaste, or bleach, as they can damage dentures.
