Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth.

They are either made of acrylic, which is like plastic, or metal. Both have their own advantages.

In general terms, an acrylic plastic denture may be cheaper, but is normally bulkier and has less grip.

This is a good question. Your denture dentist at Eyes & Smiles Denture Dental Clinic Barnet state dentures stay in by suction from the gums, as well as a good friction grip between the teeth. It is also important to understand, a large part of dentures staying in is from your muscles getting trained to help keep the denture in place.

As with other muscles,they can get trained to keep the dentu in place over time.

At Eyes & Smiles the denture cleaning instructions we recommend include when the dentures are out of the mouth they should be kept in water. If they are allowed to dry out they will warp and lose their fit.
Cleaning: It is very important for the health of your mouth that the dentures are kept spotlessly clean. Without this, the gums may become red and sore. Cleaning is best done by careful brushing with a nail brush or toothbrush soap and water (not very hot, or they may warp). Many people just soak their dentures overnight in a special denture cleaning solution but this is not so effective as brushing with a toothbrush or nail brush and plain soap water. Do this over a basin of water so that if you drop the denture it doesn't break. Don't use anything abrasive to clean the denture because you will scratch it and make it more difficult to clean in future. You may wish to use the denture cleaner once or twice a week to help keep it looking in good condition.
At Eyes & Smiles Denture Clinic Friern Barnet most dentures can be repaired very quickly, sometimes the same day, meaning less time without your denture, so it doesn't disrupt your schedule too much!
