Regain your smile. Reclaim your confidence.

Any loss of your natural teeth is a regrettable occurrence. Fortunately, it is one which can be remedied with excellent results. Today's Dental Prosthetists apply all their skill and knowledge to provide you with a substitute, which perfectly suits both the shape of your mouth and your smile one that, with proper care, will allow you to live a normal, healthy lifestyle.

Dentures are a substitute for your natural teeth and will therefore feel strange at first. Nature designated several years for us to get our natural teeth. Some will feel comfortable with their dentures in a week; some take considerably longer. A positive attitude and being aware of the adjustment that is taking place really helps. At first you may feel your new teeth are too big and your mouth and lips are too full. An increase in the flow of saliva in your mouth is a normal response to the unfamiliar object. But your facial muscles and oral tissues will adapt to the dentures in a very short time and you should soon feel quite comfortable with them.

Ideally, your dentures should be cleaned after every meal. If this is impractical, clean them as soon after eating as possible. Always clean your dentures over a basin of water or a damp towel to avoid breakage if you drop them. Hold them gently between thumb and fingers; never squeeze them in your palm. You should use a denture brush and a good denture cleaner or soap, which you can buy at any pharmacy. Avoid gritty pastes or powders and use only lukewarm water, never hot.

Denture technology has become a fine art. Dentures today are personalised to suit you and look completely natural. During the process of making your new dentures, there will be a "try-in" this is the stage where your teeth are positioned in wax so you and your Dental Prosthetist can preview and discuss the appearance. Changes in appearance are adjusted at this stage, so you will be happy with the end result. The noticeable difference may be that some pronounced facial lines will be softened, giving you a more youthful look. Don't be afraid to smile and be proud of your good-looking teeth.
