How do prostheses stay in place?
Share
Many customers worry that their dentures might unexpectedly fall out of their mouths – for example, while speaking or eating. This perception is often reinforced by films and television series where such situations provide comic relief.
The good news: Thanks to modern technology, well-fitted dentures are now very secure. An experienced prosthetist will assess your oral health and help you find the best solution to ensure your dentures stay reliably in place.
Let's look at how dentures use the natural shape of your gums and jaw to stay stable:
Partial dentures Partial dentures are supported by your remaining teeth and fill the gaps where teeth are missing. They fit snugly against your natural teeth, ensuring stability and a secure fit.
Full dentures Full dentures utilize a thin layer of saliva between the denture, jawbone, and gums. They adapt to the shape of your jaw. For added security, you can use a zinc-free adhesive.
Since full dentures are not supported by natural teeth, it can take some time until they feel completely comfortable. Denture adhesive cream Many customers opt for added security by using denture adhesive. A high-quality adhesive can offer extra comfort, especially in the initial stages. However, it's important to clean your dentures regularly and thoroughly, as adhesive residue can attract dirt and cause irritation. Flexible prostheses at dein-neues-laecheln.com
