Do you feel secure enough to smile?
If you have lost your teeth, then smiling freely can become a real challenge and you may feel very self-conscious in social situations. It can also be hard to eat or speak properly and this can cause anxiety and have a serious impact on your quality of life. A cost-effective solution that suits many people is dentures. Richmond is home to Sheen Dental Implants, where we offer dentures that can be stabilised using dental implants. Your dentures are made to look like your natural teeth and to fit accurately. This means that they look great as well as providing support for your mouth to prevent the sagging that can age your face dramatically.
Your options for dentures in Richmond
Some people who have dentures in Richmond find them difficult to get used to because of the denture glue or concerns about whether they might come loose. To overcome these problem, we can fix your dentures into place with dental implants. These are small metal screws that are inserted into the jaw. Between two and six are placed to provide a secure base to fix your dentures to. This also has the advantage of supporting the underlying bone, keeping it strong and healthy. Your dentures are attached to the implants using a range of fixtures. You can leave your dentures in place all of the time or remove them for cleaning.
How do I look after my dentures?
We offer full support and ongoing advice to our patients in Richmond. Dentures sometimes take a little getting used to, but most people find that they quickly become able to eat and speak easily. If you choose to have them stabilised, then your dentures function just like natural teeth. To get the best from your dentures, always handle them carefully if you do remove them. Keeping your mouth clean is essential and your dentures need to be brushed at least twice a day. If you take them out then soaking your dentures overnight and rinsing them well in the morning will keep them in good condition and contribute to a healthy mouth.
