Our dental specialist will conduct a full
examination on your teeth and mouth before taking an impression of your bite. After that, the
impression is sent to a lab to fabricate your denture. This may take 7 to 10 days, when completed,
your denture will be ready for issue.
A subsequent review appointment with your Prosthodontist in 1-2 weeks later, to ensure that the
denture is well fitted and comfortable.
Dentures are easy to maintain and last for a long time.
Brush dentures after every meal and at night with a soft toothbrush.
Soak your dentures in water or denture cleaner overnight.
Avoid hot water and abrasive or bleaching cleaning agents as this may deform or discolour them.
Average lifespan of a denture is 3-5 years.
Dentures may loosen over time because gums may shrink and conditions in our mouths changes as we aged.
You may return to your dental clinic to adjust your denture or make a set of new dentures.
