[EDINBURGH, 04/07/2018] - Edinburgh Dental Specialists dentures are a solution for anyone in Edinburgh with missing teeth, but they are most commonly used by older people. The gums and teeth have served their purpose for many years, but this does not mean that older people should have to get used to missing teeth or miss out on the benefits of healthy straight teeth.

Depending on the patient’s needs, Edinburgh Dental Specialists can offer partial dentures, or full dentures. Modern technology has enabled Edinburgh Dental Specialists dentures to be more comfortable than before.

Partial dentures from Edinburgh Dental Specialists fill single or multiple gaps by using a plastic, nylon or metal plate with false teeth attached, whereas full dentures will be fitted to patients missing all of their upper or lower teeth.

For patients to get used to them at the beginning, it’s best to wear dentures from Edinburgh Dental Specialists all day. When they are removed, they should be kept in a moist environment overnight to stop them from changing shape.

It’s also important not to neglect the remaining natural teeth, and continue to give them some tender loving care, cleaning them morning and evening, alongside the dentures from Edinburgh Dental Specialists. This will help minimise the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Patients should also avoid certain foods and drinks if possible, such as popcorn, sticky toffee, and caffeine. It’s best to find other ways to get a kick of energy. In moderation, tea and coffee are okay, but overtime they can cause the dentures from Edinburgh Dental Specialists to stain.

To maintain good oral health, and for dentures from Edinburgh Dental Specialists to do their job, they require a bit more cleaning than natural teeth cleaning. Dentures from Edinburgh Dental Specialists must be brushed with toothpaste or soap and water to remove any bits of food that may have got lodged in the artificial teeth.

Edinburgh Dental Specialists can give details on how to look after the dentures, as well as check that everything is going smoothly, at the patient’s follow-up check-ups.
