The fact that the dental
Prosthetist as an expert is solely responsible for the clinical and
technical procedures results in a more individualized and properly
constructed denture. (I.F.D)
Clearly, patients
have a right to choose care and services from among a range of qualified
dental health care professionals. With the evolution of international
base-line competencies, and the development of first-rate retraining and
upgrading opportunities, Denturism (dental prosthetists) has come of age.
Patients must be free to select the type of service that best meet their
needs in terms of personal care, well being and affordability (I.F.D) < Back
Relines
- A reline is the refitting of the Dentures.
- Like every part of our body changes with time
so do the bones of our jaws. As a result the fitting surfaces of
the Dentures are effected and the only reason we do not feel the
small changes is because they are taking place over a period of
time.
- Ill fitting dentures do have an effect on
faster resorption of the bone.
- So treat your Dentures as you would treat
your eyes with your glasses. We most certainly have a check up
at least every two years, we are not waiting until we can not
see a thing to visit our optometrist.

information a free consultation with us will answer all your
questions.

Denture and Oral
hygiene of an edentulous patient
- Because we lost our teeth that does
not mean that the care of cleaning our mouth stops.
- Brushing our gums and tongue should
be continuing as if we had our teeth.
- A good massage of the gums maintains
a good blood circulation and healthy gums.
- The Dentures have to be scrubbed with
a scrubbing brush and a Denture cleaning paste or even
dish washing liquid. Make sure there are no food
residues left behind. After the good scrub you can
immerse your Dentures in a solution using any of the
tablets that are available at supermarkets and
Pharmacies.
- Remember that a denture that is
not clean is a nest for all kinds of micro organisms.
- Remove your dentures over night. By
doing so you give your muscles and gums a good rest as
well as the tissue the chance to breath.

your questions.

New Dentures.
- The secret of a successful
Denture is definitely the skill, professionalism and
care of the Dental Prosthetist. There is though
another factor just as important, the communication
and patience shown from both the Practitioner and the
patient.
- The adjustment period for a new
denture is a fact.
- Soar spots from a new denture do
not mean a failure!
- The patient should never be
expected to get used to pain due to the Denture. It is a
job for the practitioner to solve the problem and
the patient should expect this service, it is the
responsibility of the Practitioner to make the
prosthesis comfortable for the patient.
- The patient should get the chance
and the time to see and discuss the aesthetics of
the Dentures. After all is the patient that has to
be happy with the appearance and his or her smile.
- Have always in mind that a
denture is the artificial replacement of your
natural teeth .It is not fixed and studies shown
that it only reaches 25-30% of mastication
satisfaction in comparison with the one with natural
dentition.
- Be patient with your Dentures and
co-operate with your Dental Prosthetist in order to
learn how to use satisfactory your prosthesis.
We do offer these
services and we expect our patients participation on
aesthetic matters
