Fillings Crowns and Dentures

To clean Polident from dentures, first, rinse the dentures under warm water to remove any remaining tablets or residue. Then, use a soft-bristle toothbrush or denture brush with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to gently scrub the surfaces, focusing on crevices where residue may accumulate. Rinse thoroughly again with warm water to ensure all cleaning agents are removed. Finally, store the dentures in water or a denture-cleaning solution when not in use.

Of course you can. But it would not be a good idea to turn it on.

It's an anti-inflammatory - used to treat pain and swelling

The buccal shelf.. If anyone knows the anatomic boundaries (medial, lateral, anterior and posterior) of the buccal shelf I would like to know!

yes, it is normal. but you can reduce it by using ice packs

If you have a raw spot in your mouth, you need to get to the reason why it is there. If you burned yourself on pizza or hot food, then it should heal in a few days. Warm salt water rinses usually do the trick. If it does not go away in a week or so, I would definitely see a dentist to find out the underlying cause.

I have found a site which is having good information about bone plants.. if anyone interested can visit at http://www.bone-implants.com/.

Dental gold crowns can last for decades. I've personally seen some last over forty years. In general, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-porcelain crowns do not last as long a gold crowns. A goal for dental providers is to be able to place a crown that will last at least ten years. This is considered a adequate lifespan of a crown. Most crowns will last longer than this but gold has the best track-record for longevity. One reason gold lasts longer is because it is more forgiving to the chewing forces created in the mouth. Porcelain is more brittle and can fracture, whereas gold is malleable and can change shape to accommodate the force rather than fracture. Gold crowns are often recommended for back teeth which actually bear higher chewing stresses when compared to front teeth. Porcelain is opted for when aesthetics is a concern. This is why porcelain is generally recommended for teeth closer to the front. They look more like real teeth and they can last a long time when they aren't under a lot of chewing stress.

Brush it as you would your teeth and at night put it in a class of water with one of those fizzy denture cleaning tablets. You will find that soaking them is really the key. If you don't soak them, the grime won't come off as easy. Similar to washing dishes as crazy as it sounds.

The high end models of dentures will cost you anywhere between $1000 to 5000. You might wonder that this is quite a bit of money; however, what you get in return is worth the investment.

First off, leave the denture in. Do not remove it for at least 24 hours. If you have removed it and can't get it back in, call the dentist and follow his/her instructions. If bleeding continues beyond 24 hours, contact the dentist.

Permanent dentures would be the best way to go as they are an in-office procedure and it has a high documented success rate. You will also get to experience psychological benefit of closely resembling real teeth and dentures will wear out less quickly compared to the regular ones. Though as good as it sounds, it comes with a hefty price.

An ill fitting denture that can not take the pressure and stress of the constant mastication pressure is generally the cause of a catastrophic failure that would cause a mid-line fracture in a denture.

An old denture that no longer fits properly can sometimes be saved by a reline.

No. The teeth aren't supposed to touch the penis in the first place, it feels very unpleasant.

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.

You should expect to pay for the filling for the first placement. If you should pay for subsequent fillings on the same tooth depends on why the filling came out. If it was due to trauma, such as getting hit in the face, then yes, you probably ought to pay for the replacement. On the other hand, if it simply broke off, it may have been that the dentist was trying to be too conservative and placed a filling where a crown was really needed. In that case, the doctor ought to credit you the fee for the filling towards the fee for the crown.

If you suspect that the dentist is simply incompetent, seek a second opinion or just find a new dentist.

Yes. The denture acrylic that the denture is made of can dry out and look bleached out.

You did not ask this but I will throw it in anyway. Dentures should be cleaned daily as well.

Yes.

I have been in agony for 10 days now, and sores have developed on my gums. I was told it would be painless, but of course, with my luck, it has been horrible.

The cost of a partial plate depends on how much work is needed, such as crowning's or extraction. The cost can range from $500 to $1,000.

The only thing that will help you pass a drug test is NOTto take drugs. The drug is in your system, not on your dentures.

Was hoping to find a different answer. I don't think it is dentures. At least not solely. He's been losing his hearing since he was a child. I have a friend with a similar story and they move their mouths and tongues almost the same.
