Dentures: Gums
built 801 days ago
Your dentist will provide instructions about how long dentures should be kept in place. During the first few days, you may be advised to wear them most of the time, including while you sleep. After the initial adjustment period, you may be instructed to remove the dentures before going to bed. This allows gum tissues to rest and promotes oral health. Generally, it is not desirable that the tissues be constantly covered by denture material.

The practice performs Adjustments at no charge during the first 60 days after you receive your dentures. After the first 60 days, adjustments are available at a nominal fee. Please remember that an adjustment is not the solution to a loose-fitting denture; it merely helps to alleviate soreness due to high spots where the denture rests upon your gums.

The most expensive prosthetic dentures will only look their best with a premium base acrylic. The manner in which the gum tissues are hand carved can have considerable impact on the appearance of the denture. Subtle differences in shading and coloration and fibers that mimic blood vessels helps replicate the look of natural gum tissues. High impact resistance with heat cured materials results in excellent accuracy and freedom from bacterial infilteration and allergic responses to the base material.

When dentures are first fitted, they should be snug. However, as the gums shrink, many people unwisely resort to adhesives or self liners from a chemist to keep their denture in place. These "do it yourself kits" can result in problems if not checked.

An impression is made of your existing teeth and gums prior to the extraction surgery and is used as working models for the construction of your new dentures. From your models the denturist is able to copy and construct a denture, duplicating your original teeth with improvements to your appearance, if you so wish.

The reason is that implant-supported dentures feel more like "real" teeth than regular dentures because they feel more stable and secure. Implant-supported dentures are locked firmly into place, whereas the regular dentures may occasionally slip off the gums.
