Teeth Dentures Sheffield

Depending on how they are cared for, dentures can last for up to 15 years, when you will start to see signs of wear and may consider getting them replaced. Like natural teeth, dentures can stain, so you will eventually need to refresh your smile with another set. Also, the shape of your teeth, mouth and gums can change over time, so you may find that your dentures start to feel uncomfortable or not fitting as well as they used to. As soon as you have a feeling that you may need new dentures in Wakefield, let your dentist know, although it is likely it will be flagged during one of your regular dental check ups.

At the end of the day, take out your dentures and brush them with toothpaste and a soft bristled toothbrush, to remove any buildup. Rinse well and then place into your denture box with a denture tablet, to keep them clean, reduce odours and help them to retain their shape. You then need to brush your teeth and gums to remove any bacteria or food left in the mouth. In the morning, you can then rinse your dentures and adhere them to the top of your mouth to complete your full smile for the day!
