Modern Dentures In Edgware

Modern dentures are removable false teeth that come with a host of benefits. Including helping to improve how you eat and speak. They can also help with your confidence. By restoring your smile and enhance facial shape, especially around the lips and in the cheek area. We offer both partial dentures for a few missing teeth or full dentures to replace a whole set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw.

They are usually made from acrylic, or a combination of acrylic and metal. Modern materials mean that partial dentures will blend in beautifully with your natural teeth and complete dentures can pass for the real thing.

A complete or full denture is one that replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw and gives support to the cheeks and lips.

A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth. This is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments.

The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made from either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures.

Aftercare

Modern dentures are designed to be hardwearing but they will last longer if you treat them with care. Dentures should be removed before you go to bed so your gums can have a rest. They must be stored in water or denture fluid as they could lose their shape if allowed to dry out.

We recommend regular appointments with your dentist to check for any wear and tear on your dentures. And monitor any changes in your mouth. Some routine maintenance may be due to wear and gradual changes to the mouth over time.

FAQ's

Modern dentures are very durable but that doesn’t make them indestructible. They can discolour, chip, break, and bend out of shape. With good care, your dentures should last for many years. Here are some tips for maintaining the appearance and extending the life of your dentures:

  • Use a brush designed specifically for dentures and a denture cleaner. Regular toothpaste can be too harsh for dentures
  • Store dentures in a container of denture-cleaning solution or water
  • Soak in warm, not hot water. Hot water can damage their shape
  • Use an effervescent cleansing tablet once a week to kill odour-causing bacteria

Dentures offer many benefits to the millions who wear them. While they take some initial adjustment, they can enhance your smile as well as your long-term confidence. Return to your dentist at least once a year to evaluate fit, appearance, and to receive an oral cancer screening.

There are very few eating restrictions for denture wearers, once you get used to wearing them. However, dentures are not as efficient as real teeth. If you experience eating difficulties at any time, it is important to contact your dentist. Poorly-fitting dentures can contribute to eating difficulties. Dentures that fit correctly are vital for enjoying a well-balanced diet that includes a wide range of foods.

Highly recommended ********** I went in for a tooth extraction yesterday. It could have been a troublesome extraction which is why I chose to go to an experienced oral surgeon. Twenty minutes after entering the surgery, I was out. Job done. No pain whatsoever. Today I hardly feel anything. Superb job by Dr Shah - one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. A couple of years ago my daughter had an implant done by Dr Shah. It was a brilliant job. That's one of the reasons I went to see him. If you need an experienced, pair hands skillfully working on your precious teeth, Dr Shah is your man.

I visited this practice as a new patient and can honestly say it is one of the best practices I have ever been to. I was greeted by the practice manager Kas on arrival who was friendly and attentive; despite this current pandemic everything was clean and organised and I felt safe. I was then seen by Dr Amit Devlukia for a routine examination and a clean and polish. He was very knowledgeable and had a friendly approach. He was honest, patient and explained things in detail which no other dentist has ever done in the past. He even managed to squeeze me in for my 3D stimulation scan required for invisalign and was very thorough. I'm so glad I changed my previous dentist and will be recommending this practice and Dr Amit to my family and friends..

The staff at Stag Lane were incredible from the moment I walked through the door. Despite having to navigate the current pandemic, staff were careful to maintain an excellent level that made me feel welcomed and less nervous. Every move and procedure was explained to me and my level of comfort checked throughout. I would like to personally thank all of the staff for their help.
