    Immediate dentures:
    These dentures are placed immediately after your natural teeth have been extracted by your dentist. The benefit of immediately placed dentures means that you don’t have to go without teeth for an extended period of time.

    Immediate dentures require several appointments with Peter prior to the extraction appointment, ensuring the dentures are constructed in time for insertion.

    Please note! When considering removing your natural teeth and moving to dentures it is important to be guided by your dentist and make the decision together. Obviously there is no going back after your teeth have been removed, so be considered. Sometimes it is a better result functionally to only extract those teeth that cannot be saved and replace them with a partial denture.
    RELINES:
    Six months after the immediate dentures have been placed you will require a permanent reline as your denture has been made based on the fit at the time of extractions. In the months following, your bone and gum tissues will shrink back, leaving a space between your gum and the denture. After 6 months it is necessary that you have your denture relined, as a poor fitting denture can lead to problems in the future. Most find that the denture will become so loose fitting that a reline is required to give back proper function. 

     Relines are also recommend every 3-4 years to ensure accuracy of fit and maintaining gum health.

    Denture Adhesive:
    At some stage during that six month healing time, you may need to use a denture adhesive to help keep your denture in place.

    LOOKING AFTER YOUR DENTURES
    To keep your denture free of germs and tartar, we recommend you use a natural bristle denture brush with detergent or liquid soap twice daily. This technique is nonabrasive and will extend the life of your dentures. 

    To clean: remove the denture, apply detergent and brush all surfaces of the denture, concentrating around the teeth and also the fitting surface of the denture. Rinse well.
    Do not use toothpaste as toothpaste is abrasive, and can wear down the teeth and acrylic.
