How To Care For Your Full Dentures
Complete full dentures in St. Okotoks are designed to replace any missing teeth while improving your smile’s appearance at the same time. They can be made from different materials, but are always designed to look natural.
It’s important to remember that food and plaque can stick to dentures the same way they did to your natural teeth. That’s why cleaning these artificial teeth is just as important to your overall oral health.
It’s best to brush your dentures daily using the following:
It’s necessary to remove and rinse your dentures after every meal. Loose particles and other food debris can easily be removed by running water over them. You can put your soft towel in the sink so your full dentures in St. Okotoks won’t break or get damaged if you drop them accidentally.
Brushing Gently
Your soft bristled toothbrush gets used next. Brush your dentures gently so plaque, food particles and bacteria are loosened and removed. All the areas on the surface of your dentures need to be cleaned. A nonabrasive denture cleanser can be used here. Make sure to clean the grooves that sit against your gums if you use a recommended adhesive.
Most of these appliances should stay moist so they keep their shape. That’s why you should soak them in a mild denture solution or water overnight. Make sure you talk to us about proper methods for storing them while you sleep. You should also read the manufacturer’s instructions on soaking and cleaning solutions.
Rinsed Thoroughly
Before you put them back in your mouth, these dental appliances should be rinsed thoroughly. That’s especially important if you are using a denture soaking solution. While they do their job well, these solutions can also contain harmful chemicals that can cause problems if swallowed.
Regular Visits
Good oral health depends on regular visits. Generally it is suggested that if you have full dentures in St. Okotoks, you come in and see us once every six months. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment if your dentures start to feel uncomfortable or slip. If they make noise when you eat or talk, we can also make some necessary adjustments. We can also help you by fitting a new set if your existing ones are broken or visibly worn.

I had such an amazing experiences at Onyx Denture Clinic getting my new night guard. Things have really improved since my last one was made. The friendly and charming dental tech Bart scanned my teeth until he had a perfect 3D image to work with. It's so much more comfortable than having a tray of sticky goo in my mouth to make the impressions. I would recommend choosing Dr. Dagmar as your denturist, she is knowledgeable, caring and professional.
