(Australia-NewsWire.Com, September 04, 2012 ) Adelaide, South Australia -- For many people, having comfortable quality dentures in Adelaide may not seem like something that can be life-changing, but dental technician and operator of Natural Dentures feels that properly fitting, natural-looking dentures is an investment in the patients total lifestyle.
“A prosthetic that is fitted correctly by a professional can make all the difference in a lot of areas of a patient’s life,” said Juers. “A lot of people find that dentures can be expensive, and while we offer very competitive pricing, we also encourage people to maintain and care for their dentures, in order to make the most of their investment. In addition to fitting dentures, we also offer denture repair in Adelaide, so that you’re going to get the most from your prosthetic.”
Juers and the team at Natural Dentures offer several important tips to help patients care for their dentures.
Cleaning Dentures
When it comes to cleaning dentures, Juers tells patients to avoid toothpastes and other harsh agents, which can scrape and damage dentures. Juers suggests to use pastes and cleaners specifically for dentures, and not to rely on soaking alone to clean your prosthetic.
“Proper cleaning is vital to the health of your mouth,” said Juers. “Clean dentures mean you’ll avoid dangerous and unappealing bacteria, and you’ll also keep your dentures looking clean and fresh for a long time into the future.”
Wearing Dentures
“We supply the most natural looking dentures in Adelaide,” said Juers, “but regardless of the appearance of your dentures, it’s vital that they fit comfortably.”
Juers recommends that dentures are not only comfortable, but also fit in the jaw, even without the use of adhesives. Juers says he never fits dentures that require a lot of adhesive or damage the gums, because that is not a proper fit.
Storing Dentures
Juers says that it’s vital to the longevity of your dentures to always ensure they remain moist. According to Juers, if dentures begin to dry out, they also lose their shape, which means they won’t fit as well as they originally did.
“We teach all of our patients the proper storage techniques for our Australian-made dentures in our Adelaide clinic,” said Juers. “We tell our patients how important it is that they protect their investment by immersing them in cleaning solution or water when they’re not being worn, to protect their customized shape. We also inform our customers of whether or not their prosthetic has metal parts, because this plays a role in which type of storage solution that should be used, to avoid damage to the metal.”
“When we have customers come in, they may be embarrassed or discouraged that they have to get dentures, but when they see how natural and beautiful they are, and what a difference it makes in their lives, they are actually very encouraged,” said Juers. “This feeling carries over into all aspects of their lives. Dentures aren’t just an investment in your teeth, but they’re also an investment in your future and your overall happiness, and that’s why it’s important to us to provide the best, most natural looking dentures south of Adelaide.”
