Are Dentures Right for Me?
Did You Know?
Nearly 25% of adults over 65 have lost all their teeth. Dentures are a popular and effective solution for this, so much so that you might have met someone with dentures without even realizing it. Wondering if dentures are right for you?
Ideal Candidates for Dentures Should:
- Be looking to replace multiple or all missing teeth.
- Avoid smoking or using tobacco products.
- Have a healthy jawbone (don’t worry, we can help with this!).
- Not experience chronic dry mouth.
- Commit to caring for their dentures at home.
- Regularly visit the dentist for check-ups, just as you would with natural teeth.
Caring for Your Dentures: Maintaining your dentures is key. Regular cleanings and dental check-ups are important, even with perfect prosthetics. We’ll inspect your dentures’ fit, as well as examine your gums, tongue, jaw, and the inside of your mouth during visits. Your overall oral health is our priority, not just your teeth.
Home Care Tips for Dentures:
- Remove dentures overnight to give your mouth a break.
- Soak them in warm water, with or without a denture cleanser. (Note: Dentures with metal clasps should only be soaked in warm water.)
- Always keep dentures moist when not worn to prevent warping – avoid hot water.
- Gently clean and massage your gums daily. If a toothbrush is uncomfortable, try a soft cloth.
- For those with partial dentures, continue brushing your natural teeth as normal.
Remember, taking care of your dentures is a crucial part of maintaining your oral health and ensuring your comfort and confidence with your new smile!
