Why a well-fitting denture matters
A denture is a removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. It is important that it fits well and feels comfortable, so you can eat, speak and smile without difficulty. A poorly fitting or worn denture can cause a lot of discomfort, such as painful sore spots and problems with eating and speaking.
The right fit
The fit of a denture is essential to comfort. At Dental House Zierikzee we work with the latest technology, such as digital intraoral scanners and 3D printers, which allows us to guarantee a very precise fit. That means fewer visits to the dentist and a quicker adjustment to your denture.
Denture materials
A denture can be made from various materials, such as acrylic resin or porcelain. It is important to discuss with your dentist which material is most suitable for your situation. At Dental House Zierikzee we use high-quality materials that give the denture a natural appearance and good durability.
Tips from the dentist
Alongside a well-fitting denture, there are other factors that contribute to a good experience with your prosthesis. Here are a few tips from the dentists at Dental House Zierikzee:
- Maintain good oral hygiene: brush your gums, palate and tongue daily with a soft toothbrush, and use a dedicated denture brush for your prosthesis.
- Have your denture checked regularly: an annual check-up at the dentist means problems can be spotted and resolved in good time.
- Avoid sticky foods: try to eat as little sticky food as possible, as this can loosen the prosthesis.
- Store your denture in water overnight: don't let your prosthesis dry out — keep it in a glass of water at night. This stops the material shrinking and the fit changing.
