Denture Clinic Maleny 

During the first few days, you may be advised to wear your dentures all day, every day, including while you are sleeping. After this time, you may be advised to remove them before going to bed to allow your gums to rest.

Having a denture can take some getting used to, after all, there is a foreign object in your mouth. We recommend practicing your pronunciation of any problematic words out loud to help improve the quality of your speech. After a little bit of practice, your speech should return to normal.

You have total control when it comes to the appearance of your dentures. We can make your denture closely resemble your natural teeth so that little change in your appearance will be noticeable. The denture may even improve the look of your smile and help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. You are given the opportunity to see the finished denture and request any changes that you might like before it is set and cannot be changed. This is an important step in achieving total satisfaction with your new smile.

Dentures have many benefits, including improving your appearance and self-confidence. They can also help you eat and speak more easily. Additionally, dentures can help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

The time required to receive new dentures can vary depending on several factors, including the type of dentures, the complexity of the dental work, and the steps involved in the process. This typically includes an initial consultation to assess your needs, taking impressions of your gums and existing teeth, multiple fittings for proper alignment, and final adjustments for comfort. The process may span several weeks to allow for the precise creation of custom dentures. Your prosthetist may outline a detailed timeline during the consultation phase to help you understand the process and plan accordingly. Contact our denture clinic for more information.

Dentures may need replacement if they become loose, uncomfortable, or less effective in supporting normal activities like eating or speaking. Visible signs such as cracks, chips, or worn-down surfaces can indicate wear and tear, while persistent discomfort or sore spots may suggest that the fit is no longer optimal. Additionally, as your gums and jawbone naturally change over time, dentures that once fit well may begin to feel unstable or cause irritation. Regular check-ups can help identify these issues early and provide guidance on whether adjustments or a replacement is necessary.

Proper denture care involves a consistent cleaning routine to maintain their appearance and functionality. Clean your dentures daily with a soft-bristle brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser to remove food particles, plaque, and stains. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the denture surface. When not in use, store your dentures in water or a specially formulated soaking solution to keep them hydrated and prevent warping. Regular visits to your prosthetist can provide additional guidance on maintenance. To learn more about dentures in Maleny, get in touch with us.
