Denture Cleaning
Professionally cleaned removes contamination
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE YOUR DENTURES
Carefully, and above all, professionally cleaned?
THE PROBLEM
Dentures can change with age. Under the microscope you can see how the surface becomes increasingly rough. The cleaning done at home every day is correct and important, but it cannot prevent deposits forming and spreading.
- Bacterial plaque
- Stubborn tartar
- Stains caused by foodstuffs (ie: tea, coffee, red wine or medicines)
- Strong nicotine build up
These deposits change over time. They harden within a day and trap the contamination. The denture looses its lustre and becomes marked and unattractive. These deposits make the denture prone to bacteria and germs.
This decay and depositing has unpleasant results:
- Sourly tasting and often bad breath
- Build up of pressure spots
Carries a high risk of:
- Chronic and painful gingivitis
- Allergic reactions and gingiva illness
- Damage to healthy residual dentition
- Loss of function of the denture
THE SOLUTION
Regular and professional denture cleaning effectively removes stubborn and dangerous deposits and reduces risks. Your denturist has specialized and highly effective cleaning methods at his disposal. In just 20 minutes, your denture undergoes an intense cleaning process.
The Results
- A smooth surface
- Free from deposits
- Free from bacteria and germsv
- Free from odour
- Retains its function
- Longer value
Just how regular cleaning is done plays an important role, professional cleaning should be carried out at least 3 to 4 times a year. This simplifies daily cleaning at home. Also, the denturist can better spot any defects (cracks, fissures or other changes) and can repair them in time.
