Implants are an versatile structure that can hold single crowns, bridges and even full dentures.

Dental implants secure the denture providing a natural-feeling alternative to traditional dentures that are hooked onto teeth or depend on suction for stability.

The strength and stability of implant retained dentures give you the ability to bite and chew with confidence and your speech appear more natural. They are easier to clean and maintain than removable dentures, allowing your overall health to benefit too.

Implants are more comfortable and stable than dentures- they will feel like your natural tooth

Poorly fitting dentures can move within the mouth making daily tasks such as eating, speaking and swallowing. If so the denture can adversely affect the tooth or teeth holding the denture in place or the gums.

Traditional Denture vs. Implant retained Denture

Traditional Denture

Loose and mobile- Slippage
Limited food choices
Reduces normal healthy digestion as the teeth are unable to crush your food as functionally as your natural teeth
Reduces bite force
Acrylic constantly in your mouth
Denture adhesive required to maintain good suction- Continual cost
Causes loss (thinning) of jawbone- jawbone shift
Increased mobility overtime
High maintenance- needs to be cleaned regularly at minimum every night

Implant retained Denture

Secure and confident smile
Enjoy your favorite foods- Aids normal bite force
Aids normal healthy digestion as you can chew and crush food normally
No denture adhesive required
Implant provides stimulation to jaw bone to maintain jaw density and slows signs of aging caused by jaw bone loss, for example., sunken cheeks, jaw shift.
Provides long-term stability. ‘Snap-in’ ‘Snap-off” function
No adjustment period- you can start smiling, eating and speaking as usual
Better value for money- higher longevity , comfort, function and appearance.
Implant structure is multi-functional and can be used for single crowns or bridges if the patients chooses to go for a more permanent method of replacing teeth.

PROCEDURE for Implant Retained Denture

Dental implant treatment can take 3-6 months from start to end.

We assess your oral health and determine what the best course of action is for you by examining your teeth, gum and jaw bone health. Our patients are assured of the available options and we incorporate a fully customised treatment plan and details costings so there are no surprises at the end.

Denture / False Teeth FAQs

January 21, 2023 Neem Dental Clinic

Some common questions asked by those wearing or considering wearing new dentures and false teeth are listed below to help you make the right choices. If you cannot find your questions or queries answered on this page about dentures or false teeth, please contact us for denture or false teeth advice.

» Is it necessary to replace missing teeth?

Leaving gaps between your natural teeth can affect your speech and your ability to eat and chew properly. Gaps between teeth can also make your smile look less attractive, which can affect your self confidence.

Replacing any missing teeth improves your smile, can make you look younger and more attractive and can also improve the variety of food you can eat. This can lead to an overall improvement in your health as you are able to have a more balanced diet.

» How soon can I have a denture fitted after my teeth are taken out?

Usually dentures can be fitted straight after your teeth have been removed, this type of denture is called an immediate denture.

With immediate dentures you don’t have to be without teeth while your gums are healing. However, bone and gums can shrink over time, especially during the first six months after your teeth have been taken out. If your gums shrink, your immediate dentures may need relining, adjusting or even replacing. Sometimes it is advisable to wait until your gums are healed before having your dentures.

» Will I look different with dentures?

At Neem Dental Clinic we design your new dentures to be as natural looking as possible, so when you smile your new dentures will look like real teeth not false teeth. We use gender specific tooth shapes and colours that will compliment your gender, age and personality.

We will position your new denture teeth where your natural ones once existed, providing you with the correct lip and facial support. If you are having partial dentures, we will design these dentures to blend in with the rest of your natural teeth and facial features so your smile will look as natural as possible.

» What are the different types of dentures?

There are two main groups of dentures: complete or full dentures and partial dentures. Complete or full dentures replace all of your natural teeth in either your upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures are used to replace some of your teeth in either your upper or lower jaw.

There are a number of different types of dentures, including light alloy, flexible and plastic dentures; you can discuss the different types of denture with us at Neem Dental Clinic, as some types may be more suitable for your individual needs than others. Immediate dentures are used to replace the teeth immediately after they have been lost or extracted; they are replaced once the permanent set of dentures has been manufactured and the gum tissue has healed.

» How long will it take to make me some new dentures?

The time it takes to provide you with your new natural looking dentures varies and depends upon a range of factors, including the complexity of your treatment and the type of dentures chosen. We provide a New Dentures in 1 – 2 weeks for those patients who require new natural looking dentures within a shorter time frame.

» How long will my dentures last?

It is impossible to give an exact length of time that dentures will last an individual and some individuals dentures may last a lot longer than other peoples. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may need new dentures:

Have you started to use a denture adhesive or are your dentures loose for any reason?
Are you are no longer happy with your smile?
Do you feel that your dentures are no longer giving you facial support?
Are your dentures making your mouth sore?
Have had one or more denture repairs?
Have your denture teeth and acrylic (plastic) become worn and stained?

» Will I be able to eat all of my favorite foods with new dentures?

Eating with new dentures is an acquired skill and takes time, patience, and practice to become comfortable and efficient. It may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to learn how best to eat with new dentures. Some foods may be more difficult to eat, such as corn on the cob or apples, and require caution when eating.

It will also take longer to finish a meal when dentures are new. By choosing easy-to-chew foods at first, it will help gradually strengthen muscles and prepare them for more difficult and tougher foods later on

» What’s the best way to clean my dentures?

Cleaning your dentures every day is important for good oral hygiene. If you don’t, plaque and bacteria can form on them leading to oral health problems. We recommend cleaning dentures thoroughly twice a day and after eating when necessary. At Neem Dental Clinic, we recommend the following procedures are followed:

The general rule to cleaning your dentures is:brush, soak, brush.
Your dentures are breakable, so always clean your dentures over a bowl of water or a folded towel in case you drop them.
Brush your dentures thoroughly before soaking, to remove loose food particles. Use cool or warm water. But never use hot water – it can warp your dentures.
Soak your dentures in a denture cleaner, if required. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Apply a denture cleaning paste to a moistened denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush. However, never use conventional toothpaste as this can permanently damage your dentures. Brush all surfaces thoroughly. Avoid using brushes with stiff bristles, as these bristles can damage the denture material.
Brush your gums, tongue and the roof of your mouth with a soft-bristled regular toothbrush to remove plaque and stimulate circulation. Rinse your dentures, then reinsert them.
At Neem Dental Clinic we recommend you leave your dentures out at night, as this allows your gums to rest. Whilst you sleep at night, soak your dentures in a cleanser or water. If you use a denture cleanser, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. However, if you feel more comfortable sleeping with your dentures in, please clean your dentures thoroughly before retiring to bed.
Please remember that if you use any kind of denture adhesive this needs to be removed daily.
DO NOT use very hot water or any type of bleaching product to clean your dentures.
If you notice a build up of stains or scales, then we can clean your dentures professionally for you at Neem Dental Clinic.

» Will new dentures affect my speech?

When adjusting to new dentures, some patients find their speech can alter slightly (especially pronouncing “s” and “f” sounds), whilst getting used to the new shape of their dentures (false teeth); this is only a short term inconvenience.

We recommend reading aloud and to practice counting the numbers 65 up to 70 as these sounds can be the hardest to get used to.

It is also usual for denture wearers to produce more saliva, which can also affect speech, when getting used to a new set of dentures. This inconvenience is again short term, which will be resolved once your mouth becomes accustomed to the new dentures. We recommend swallowing more regularly and sipping water more often. Or alternatively, try sucking on a boiled sweet or mint.

» Should I wear my dentures at night?

Generally it is considered best to remove dentures at night; this is to give your gums a chance to rest. It is especially ideal to leave your dentures out at night if you grind your teeth, as this causes more pressure against your gums. However, some patients are embarrassed about removing their dentures in front of their partner and therefore prefer to wear their dentures at night. If this is the case then we would recommend two things:

Firstly, please make sure you clean your dentures thoroughly before you go to sleep and when you wake up.
Secondly, we would recommend that you remove your dentures for some period of the day if you can’t leave them out at night. At least once a day you should remove your teeth and brush your mouth and gums with a very soft toothbrush. This stimulates circulation and maintains healthy tissue.

If you do remove your dentures at night, please remember to store them in a small amount of cold water to stop them from drying out and warping. Please do not place your dentures in hot water, as this will damage them.

» How should I look after my dentures?

At Neem Dental Clinic, we only ever use a high impact denture acrylic (plastic), which means the dentures we make are less likely to break when they are dropped. However, no denture can be guaranteed against breakages. We therefore recommend you follow some simple steps to reduce the likelihood of damage occurring to your dentures. Dentures should be looked after carefully.

Your dentures (false teeth) are breakable, so always clean your dentures over a bowl of water or a folded towel in case you drop them.
It is extremely important that your dentures are kept moist and are not allowed to dry out, this is to prevent them distorting. However, if your dentures become dry please soak them in a glass of clean fresh water before wearing your dentures again.
Some patients prefer not to wear their dentures at night. In this instance, please place your dentures carefully into clean fresh water or into your preferred denture soak. If you use a denture cleanser overnight, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Dentures should be rinsed and cleaned on a regular basis.

» Will my new dentures be comfortable?

Initially, dentures may take a little getting used to. At Neem Dental Clinic we design your new dentures to fit you as precisely and as comfortable as possible and there are various materials we can use when making your new dentures to try and make them as comfortable as possible for you.

However, whilst your mouth and gums adjust to these new dentures, it is possible that sore spots or ulcers may develop during the first few days of wear. This can be relieved by slight adjustments to the denture surface. It is NEVER advisable to try and adjust dentures yourself. If you are experiencing sore spots contact us and we will arrange for an appointment to adjust your dentures (false teeth).

Adapting To Dentures — If you have just been fitted for dentures, it can take a little while to adjust. Partial or full dentures, crowns and bridges can all cause difficulties in the everyday life of the wearer, and you may find that you need to adopt certain habits until you become used to them.

» Will my new dentures look like natural teeth?

Yes, we can you make you natural looking dentures that will not just replace the natural teeth you have lost, but they will look so natural they’ll look part of you.

Flexible Dentures: What Do They Offer?

January 3, 2022 Neem Dental Clinic

Flexible dentures are said to be the next best thing if a patient doesn’t want to try out regular dentures. Why? Because the product rids itself of the problems that come when owning or using regular dentures.

Let’s look at all the qualities of Flexible Dentures that trumps those found in regular dentures:

Comfort – the tough and rigid exterior of regular dentures makes it uncomfortable especially for new users. Well, a flexible denture replaces this tough exterior with a flexible one those allowing it stretch accordingly.

No More Slipping – because its foundation is a lot more flexible, this allows the product to cling to the gums better than regular dentures. The latter has always had this problem of setting loose especially in times of chewing or speech.

Aesthetic – since the material of a flexible denture is clearer, this allows the natural color of your gums to show. A more natural look equals a better aesthetic overall.

The basics of flexible dentures

Most dentures are made from metal or a hard resin. This has both benefits and drawbacks. Traditional dentures are durable and don’t need a ton of care. They have a strong base that holds its shape. But they take some getting used to, as they often have to be held in place with the cheeks and tongue. They often require adhesive to make sure they stay in place. And hard dentures are brittle. If they’re dropped or smacked hard enough they’ll shatter and become unusable. Metal dentures are more durable but less comfortable.

If you only have a partial denture, you can use a flexible nylon one instead. This has several advantages. They don’t take as long as regular dentures to manufacture. If you drop them you don’t have to worry about them shattering.

Flexible dentures tend to hold to the gum better than regular dentures, and often don’t need adhesive or other measures that are used to hold on traditional styles. They’re also the best option for people that are allergic to the materials in traditional dentures. Others might have difficulty opening their mouth enough to insert a regular denture. Flexible dentures may be the only option.

Full Denture, Partial Denture, Flexi denture

November 12, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

If you’ve lost a few or all your natural teeth, partial or full dentures can replace your missing tooth and enhance your smile and your chewing ability.

When you have tooth loss, Neem Dental Clinic can give you back your charming smile by adopting a Partial Denture or Full Denture treatment plan that matches your preferences both financially and aesthetically.

Benefits of complete and partial dentures include enhanced aesthetic look, improved chewing ability, improved speech, and enhanced oral health. The tooth component of the denture is made up of ceramic material to ensure that they are durable. The bottom part of the denture features an acrylic which fits perfectly over the gums.

Full Denture

When all of your lower or upper teeth are missing, a complete denture is a fantastic solution to replacing them. The starting point in crafting a full denture is to take impressions. An exact model of your mouth is crafted from these impressions, and the lab applies this model to create the denture footing.

Partial Denture

When several teeth in an arch are missing, a partial denture is an effective solution to replacing them. Partials are extractable devices that are held in place by clasps that fit around a few of the remaining teeth.

Flexi Denture

Flexible dentures are an alternative to the traditional metal-based dentures. They don’t involve rock-hard attachments to the remaining natural teeth, offer a much better fit and look very natural. The appeal of flexi denture related to their better design, fit, and materials. Also, they are made faster when compared with traditional dentures, and also the nylon resin will never break

From missing teeth to a happy smile

If you have missing teeth, modern dentures offer a sophisticated and effective solution. Fitting comfortably in your mouth and performing just like your own teeth, dentures can really give you confidence in your smile.

Losing teeth as you age is not uncommon but we understand it can cause distress. There are several dental solutions to the problem of missing teeth including dentures, dental bridges and dental implants.

Dentures offer a budget-friendly option, and are particularly appropriate if you have a number of missing teeth, or when the use of bridges or implants is not recommended. Dentures also offer a non-invasive solution if you have a weak jaw or gums.

Partial or full dentures?

If you are only missing a proportion of your teeth, partial dentures, which are clipped onto existing healthy teeth, might be the right option for you. If you have a whole set of teeth missing on either jaw, your dentist might recommend complete dentures. These are comfortably supported by a plate in your upper jaw or by your gums on your lower jaw.

All modern dentures can be colour matched to your natural teeth and gums.

Regain lost confidence

Dentures offer impressive stability for talking and eating but because they are a removable solution and less secure than dental implants, they may intermittently loosen or slip out of place. A dental adhesive can often help hold your dentures more securely in position. Ask your dentist for more information.

What is Valplast® Denture?

July 27, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

Valplast® Dentures are an alternative to other solutions for missing teeth on your upper or lower arch. Fixed solutions, like dental bridging or implants, are not for every patient and this can be for a variety of reasons.

What is Valplast® made of?

We made flexible dentures using a pressure-injected nylon base, which allows the denture to move more freely than dentures using acrylic or metal. In effect, this allows the dentures to be more lightweight and comfortable for the mouth.

How is Valplast® different?

The major difference between Valplast® dentures and conventional dentures is the material we made them from. Conventional dentures are usually from either acrylic or metal, which can take some time to get used to. A patient who uses conventional dentures will need to learn how to hold the dentures in place with their cheek and tongue. This can be a hindrance for many people. Instead, Valplast® denture will cling to the gums to provide a tighter fit.

With flexible amyloplast® dentures, they are more of a comfortable fit. They also keep cost-effectiveness, which is a big factor in many patient’s choices. With fixed surgical methods, the price can sometimes be higher.

Clean Dental Appliance Regularly

To Keep Your Appliance Looking And Feeling Like New, Please Follow These Simple Directions:

Rinse your appliance under running water. Loose particles can be removed with the use of a specially designed Denture Brush. Ordinary toothbrushes should not be used, these may scratch the surface of your appliance.
Soak your appliance in Val-Clean® Denture Cleanser for 10-15 minutes daily. You may also soak your appliance overnight 3 times a week for effective cleaning.
Enhanced cleaning may be achieved with the use of a vibrating denture bath such as the Denture Sonic or Denture Spa.
Your dental appliance should remain hydrated when you are not wearing it. Store your appliance in the Val-Clean® solution or plain water whenever it is not being worn.
Remember to brush your natural teeth and gums regularly as directed by your dentist.

Aesthetics

If you can’t bear the thought of visible metal clasps then a Valplast flexible denture is an option .Valplast flexible partial dentures look very natural ,are lightweight and are designed to stay beautiful and comfortable for a long period of time
When considering a removable partial denture, many people find the flexible denture to be the most comfortable option. It is metal free does not require any preparation of natural teeth, does not contain chemicals found in normal plastic dentures and is hypoallergenic.

Comfort

Your ultimate comfort is one of the most important considerations when restoring missing teeth. Flexible dentures are also unobstrusive yet strong without being rigid

Expense

Removable restorations are the most affordable solution. Valplast combines great value with excellent aesthetics and added confidence whilst talking,eating and most importantly smiling that often rivals the appearance of more expensive fixed restorations.A side plate can be used as a non-invasive, affordable, alternative to a fixed bridge in a gap where one or more teeth are missing.
