Nylon is the basic material of the thermoplastic acrylics (denture plastics). It is safe, it is durable, comfortable, and is unbreakable as it is non-rigid. Standard denture acrylics are made from methyl methacrylate, whose base material is formaldehyde. IF processed correctly (which very few labs bother to do), it is safe, durable, comfortable, and fairly rigid. And yes, I am a dentist.

What is denture cloning?
Denture clone is a duplicate denture or spare denture. Some dentures are still made with porcelain denture teeth, and with this known fact, a clone denture cannot be made with porcelain denture teeth. Cloned dentures are made for temporary uses such as an emergency backup denture. If you are searching for new dentures, a cloned denture should not be of choice because it is a copy of your original denture. That is if the denture teeth are worn down, so will the cloned denture teeth be worn down. If some of your denture teeth are chipped, so will the cloned denture teeth be chipped as nothing on the denture will change, meaning its structure. If your dentures are loose, then your best solution may be to take your denture to a dentist where it can be relined so that it fits snug. If you are still in the market after you get your denture lined again, your temporary backup denture solution would then be a cloned denture or duplicate denture. 1. It will be an EXACT duplicate of your existing denture made with new, high impact, break- resistant, denture base material (pink gum material). 2. The teeth will be EXACTLY the same shape and size of your original denture. The shade of the teeth can be made lighter or darker upon request. 3. The best candidates are new dentures immediately after they have been fitted and all adjustments have been made because there is no tooth wear, but any denture, new or old, can be cloned. 4. Denture cloning is only suggested for well-fitting, comfortable dentures - the only reason being the duplicate is an exact copy of the original denture. 5. Any necessary repairs to your existing denture, including breakage, missing teeth, holes, thin areas, can and must be repaired before the clone mold is made. 6. Clones are an excellent alternative for elderly, home-bound patients who may have difficulty getting to a dental office. 7. A clone denture eliminates the "breaking in" phase of a new denture. 8. An ideal time for a clone to be made is when your denture needs repair due to a loose tooth or fracture. Your denture will need to go to a dental lab for repair. A clone mold can easily be made at this time.

Can you clean dentures after soft lining?
Yes, you can and should clean dentures with a soft liner. A little more care is required as to not damage the soft liner. DO NOT use commercial fizz type cleaners as they contain oxidizing agents that will cause the liner to discolor and get hard over time. Use a special denture brush available at any drug store to clean the denture. DO NOT use a standard tooth brush as the nylon will damage the acrylic and soft liner over time. Clean gently with baking soda daily and soak in water containing backing soda overnight if you wish. To brush the soft liner, place the denture in a glass of ice water for a few minutes and the soft liner will become firm and allow you to scrub it a little harder. Placing the denture in a glass of warm water for a few minutes will return it to the soft state before replacing back in your mouth.

What is the best way to clean your dentures?
The Best Way to Clean Your DenturesAs a Dental Technician for the past 44 years, I have made thousands of dentures and this is what I recommend:First, look to see if your denture has a soft liner. This will be a soft surface on the denture side that fits against your mouth. If you are not sure, press the surface with you fingernail. If it makes a mark then you likely have a soft liner in you appliance. Second, if you see any silver metal on your denture either clasp or silver palate DO NOT use step 6 below. Doing so will make your soft liner turn hard and any metal will get a tarnished color.1- Always brush your denture over a sink full of water. The most likely place you will damage your denture is dropping it in the sink while it is being brushed. It takes just a few seconds to fill the sink and you will be glad your did when you drop it.2-Brush your denture with a denture brush available at any drug store. Never use a standard tooth brush. The bristles in a normal tooth brush are make of nylon and will cut groves in your denture.3-NEVER brush your denture back and forth like you were scrubbing the kitchen floor, Brush you denture from the top to the biting edge of the tooth like you would natural teeth.4- Baking soda is an excellent cleaner for your denture. You can also use regular tooth paste is you prefer.5-Soak your denture in a glass of plain water or you may add a little baking soda to the water to soak overnight.6-About once a month you may soak your denture in a glass of half water and half Clorox over night This will remove any stains that have attached to your denture. Once a month only, you do not want to bleach the color out of your denture.It is not necessary to use any commercial cleaner on your denture and many may actually harm your denture. If you have had to avoid step six above do not use commercial cleaners. Most use oxidizing agents the same as a Clorox solution. They will in time damage the soft liner and tarnish any metal on your appliance.I hope this was helpful.
What do you do about thinning of denture plate and small holes?
Dentures are made to last between five to seven years. Perhaps your denture is way above and beyond this measurement of time, and if so you've gotten your money's worth. The denture plate can be rebased, but can only be done by a dental lab or a public denture repair business. Rebase means, to get rid of all the denture acrylic that is at the bottom of the denture that connects to your gums and put new denture acrylic on that area. Once the denture material is taken off, a dental model of your mouth must be provided in order for the denture acrylic to fit snugly around your current gums. To make a dental model of your mouth, a dentist must make an impression of your mouth with the denture in the impression material. Once the denture is sent to a denture repair business, the re-base process can begin, giving you a possible thicker gum line. Some precautions though, you see what you are trying to do is use your old denture to make a new denture. The acrylic gum area may or may not be thin, this is because you are getting the new denture acrylic on an old denture. Small holes, along with a thinning plate sounds like your mouth has changed so much that you may be better off at getting a new denture rather than re basing the old one. Small holes do form when your mouth changes shape, meaning the position of your gum tissue has changed making your mouth wear the dentures into holes. Re-basing is sometimes not the right solution as a new denture is. You can send your dentures to a business that solely focuses on denturerepairservice.com.
