Keeping your natural teeth
In an ideal world we would all keep our own healthy teeth well into old age. Unfortunately that isn't possible for everyone. Sometimes one or more teeth need to be replaced with a denture. At Dental House Zierikzee we always aim to keep your natural teeth healthy for as long as possible, through general dentistry, oral hygiene and preventive treatment.
How dentures affect your oral health
A denture replaces your own teeth and molars. It is important to know that a denture will never function quite as well as natural teeth, and this can affect your oral health. A denture cannot chew as effectively, which means food is less well broken down and digestion can suffer. Dentures can also cause sore spots and irritation in the mouth. In addition, wearing dentures can cause your jaw and the bone tissue in your mouth to shrink, which may change the shape of your face over time.
Choosing quality
At Dental House Zierikzee we understand that a denture is sometimes the best solution to a dental problem. That is why we offer dentures as a treatment. We do want to stress, though, that the quality of the treatment always comes first with us. That means we work only with the best materials and techniques to make sure your denture functions as well as it possibly can.
Our modern approach
Dental House Zierikzee is a modern practice that uses the latest technology. Your denture is made to measure using digital scans and 3D printing. This allows us to work more precisely and to make sure your denture fits your mouth perfectly. The technique also means fewer fitting appointments, so you spend less time having your denture adjusted.
Tips for a healthy mouth with dentures
Naturally you want to keep your oral health in the best possible shape, even with dentures. A few tips:
- Maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning your denture daily with a dedicated denture cleaner
- Avoid sticky and hard foods to prevent problems with your denture
- Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and maintenance of your denture
Conclusion
Dentures can be a good solution for dental problems, but it is worth remembering that nothing replaces your own healthy teeth. At Dental House Zierikzee we combine advanced technology with personal oral care to make sure your denture works as well as possible and your mouth stays healthy.
