Maintaining the hygiene of dentures is very simple, but it is necessary to keep it regularly. Food that can stick to the dentures will later turn into a tartar, and you will not be able to remove it. After every meal, remove the dentures from the mouth and rinse well with water. Once during the day, brush your dentures with a brush and a toothpaste. Once a week, you can leave your dentures standing overnight in a glass of water with a tartar remover solution.

Total dentures compensate for all teeth in a jaw. When there is not a single natural tooth that would serve as a stabilizer, then total dentures, especially the lower ones, may be unstable. In such cases, we recommend the installation of 4 mini implants in the jaw, that are used as the anchors.
Having total or partial dentures can make a person’s face look completely different. With a lot of teeth missing, the lower third of the face is reduced, which makes a person looks older. Wrinkles on the face are more pronounced and the lips are lowered. The dentures also affect the tone of the muscles of the face and give the face a younger outline. Muscles are tightened, wrinkles are corrected, and the lips get fuller.
