What to Expect with Dentures from Dental Couture at Melbourne North West
When you are ready to replace your missing teeth, we will first do a comprehensive dental examination and evaluation of your mouth, jawbone and overall oral health. Using a series of diagnostic tools like x-rays or scans, we will determine the amount of bone loss, find the ideal solutions that fit your situation and then discuss all options with you.
If you choose dentures, we will take a series of impressions of your mouth to be used to create the dentures. Creating the dentures may require a series of visits to ensure the denture trays fit comfortably before we move ahead and create the final.
Your dentures will have to be secured into place to keep them from moving and shifting while you talk and eat. The following are some options for securing your dentures:

The following are some options for securing your dentures:
Traditional dentures are secured with saliva and natural suction between the prosthesis and your gums
Some dentures may require extra securing with a fixative or denture adhesive
Implant-supported dentures are secured by snapping onto dental implants, which are tiny posts that are placed into the jawbone; as the bone heals, it secures the implant into place
Caring for Your Dentures
Keeping your dentures clean is the best way to avoid problems due to trapped debris and bacteria. Ideally, they should be removed at night for cleaning as your gums rest and exposure to saliva allows the bacteria to balance and prevent harmful bacteria buildup. Removing dentures also gives you a chance to brush, clean and soak them.
Soaking dentures is done with a specialised cleaning powder or tablet that can be purchased over-the-counter. These are used to keep the dentures fresh and avoid staining. However, if you do accumulate stains, simply give us a call for an appointment with the hygienist who can professionally clean them.
Regular dental visits are the best way to ensure your gums and the rest of your teeth remain healthy. Daily maintenance and regular dental visits will help your dentures last a long time. Lastly, as gums shrink and the mouth changes shape, dentures will not fit the same over time, but we can make changes and modifications to restore comfort and fit.

Dentures and Risk Factors
While low, dentures do have some risk factors to consider. Most patients consider them a last resort because they tend to be uncomfortable as they often shift while talking or eating. This can become bothersome for some when it comes to dining out or socialising. Sometimes a loss of taste may occur with regular denture use. Some patients develop ulcers on the gums due to the rubbing of dentures on the gums caused by too much movement or food particles stuck under the dentures. Again, the best way to avoid this is with regular maintenance and dental check-ups.
