Keep Your Dentures As Long As Possible

You walk in the room. You see your family, and you are so proud of them.
Someone calls you over. She wants to get a photo with you and everyone in your family.
Not long ago, a request would have made you nervous, but not today — not anymore.
You went the office of George A. Hoop, DDS, and you got Fountain of Youth™ dentures. Your new “teeth” look natural. They fit comfortably, and you can eat pretty well, too.
 
Would you like to feel that way about your replacement teeth? If so, call us at (239) 594-8817 to schedule an appointment at either of our locations. We have offices in Fort Myers and North Naples, FL.
This could be the start of a beautiful new smile!
 

The Right Fit Makes a HUGE Difference

You’ve heard the stories about slippery dentures. Heck, you may have even experienced them for yourself.
Loose dentures make it hard to eat. Loose dentures can make it difficult to speak sometimes, too. And having your dentures fall out in front of someone else can be awkward for both of you.
To avoid this, you want dentures that are custom-designed for your mouth. This is why we use “dynamic impressions” when making dentures. This takes into account how your facial muscles move as you open and close your mouth.
That means your dentures won’t just feel fine when your mouth is closed. They are much more likely to stay in place when you actually need them to as well.
 

Taking Care of Your Dentures is Important, Too

To get the most out of your dentures, it’s important to care for them like you should. Here are few tips that will help you get the most out of your dentures:

  • After you eat, remove your dentures and rinse them to remove any food debris.
  • Clean your mouth as well after removing your dentures.
  • Brush your dentures every day. This is important both for the sake of your dentures and for your oral health.
  • Soak your dentures overnight with an appropriate solution.
  • Again, rinse your dentures in the morning before putting them back in your mouth.
  • Handle your dentures careful. Avoid bending or dropping them.

You also must continue to make dental appointments. Some people think that having fake teeth means they no longer need dental care. That’s not true. You can still develop gum disease, which can have a big impact on how your dentures feel.
Likewise, you should let us know when you notice changes in how your dentures fit. With traditional dentures, it will be necessary to have them relined from time to time to maintain their fit.
 

Add Some Security

With any dentures that rest over your gums, you will experience bone loss in your jaw. Without the roots of your teeth to stimulate new bone growth, your jaw will get smaller. Over time, this will affect the way your dentures fit and feel.
This is why you need to have dentures relined.
A great way to avoid those issues is to get dental implants.
Implants were developed to replace the roots of missing teeth. Implants are placed directly in your jaw. They can be used to anchor your dentures in place, thus creating a direct connection between your dentures and your jawbone.
That connection allows you to put more force behind each bite and chew. That pressure is what stimulates the bone growth necessary to prevent bone loss.
That also means you won’t need to replace your denture nearly as often, if at all. With implant- or mini implant-supported dentures, you can have the smile of your dreams and still eat all the foods that you love to eat.

If you have dentures or will be getting them soon, call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 to set up a routine visit with us every six months for a general dentistry check-up and some professional advice on how to care for them properly so they’ll last.
For your convenience, we have a North Naples, FL location and a Fort Myers, FL location. You can visit either to get a variety of dentures, including:

  • Traditional full-arch ones held in place by adhesive
  • Partials
  • Temporaries
  • Fulls or partials held in place by dental implants

No matter whether you’re missing a few teeth or you want a full-mouth reconstruction, we have you covered!
We accept a variety of payment options, including third-party financing from companies like CareCredit who often offer interest-free options. We also have our own in-house Direct Dental Savings Plan. If you choose to enroll, we’ll give you 30 percent off on various dentures options and some other discounted services as well.

Keep Your Mouth & Your Dentures In Great Shape With Our Help

If you have replacement teeth, you may assume that you don’t need to worry as much about taking care of them, but you’d be sorely mistaken. Replacement teeth can be very durable and long-lasting, but only if you maintain optimum oral hygiene habits. We’ll provide professional tips on caring for your replacement teeth so you’ll know what to do.
But you can’t care for your replacement teeth all on your own. Even if you’ve lost all of your natural teeth you should still see us every six months for a routine check-up on both your mouth and your false teeth.
For one thing, we can help you avoid slippery dentures by checking to see that they still fit you properly. If you need any adjustments, we can let you know so you can give your replacement teeth a secure hold again and never fear them falling out or slipping.
We can also tell you if your replacement teeth have become damaged or weakened in some way and may even be able to fix them in our office. Just like your natural teeth, you want to catch issues early so we can address them as quickly and simply as possible.
Routine dental cleanings and exams are also important, even when you’ve lost many or all of your teeth because we’ll still help you maintain your oral health. For example, even if you’ve lost all of your chompers, you still have your gums and need to keep them healthy. If we detect any issues, we may recommend a periodontal treatment of some kind.
Don’t assume that your oral health is a lost cause. We can help you take great care of your mouth and your replacement chompers so you can maintain and maybe even improve your quality of life. We offer several highly convincing options for replacing your teeth in two convenient locations.
To confirm that you’re doing all you should to take care of your dentures, book a visit at George A. Hoop, DDS today. Call (239) 594-8817, visit one of our offices in person when we’re open, or use our online form to book or ask a question anytime.
