Broken dentures, metal plates and clasps can all be repaired quickly and effectively using state of the art techniques and equipment. Copies of existing dentures can also be supplied without the need for the original impressions. Can my dentures be repaired? It is almost always possible to repair a denture. Some exceptions are when a "home remedy" has been applied or when a number of pieces are missing. When I say "home remedy”, I mean when someone has gone down to the local drug store or hardware store and bought a do-it-yourself tube of glue. In nearly all cases, the pieces have been mis-aligned and the glue cannot be removed, resulting in a new denture being required. The first rule to obey with a broken denture is, do not touch it! Put the pieces in a plastic bag and take them into your local Denturist. In most cases no appointment is necessary for denture repairs. If your dentures break, crack, chip, or if one of the teeth becomes loose be sure to call. We can often make the necessary adjustments or repairs within an hour. All dentures are guaranteed against material flaws. No job too small or too complex, we have the skills, expertise and technology to find a solution for your denture problem. Attention: You can seriously damage your dentures and harm your health by trying to adjust or repair your dentures. A denture that is not made to fit properly can cause irritation and sores. A person who lacks the proper training will not be able to reconstruct the denture. This can cause greater damage to the denture and may cause problems in your mouth. Glue sold over-the-counter often contains harmful chemicals and should not be used on dentures! |

| With today’s material and techniques dentures look so
natural, it’s almost impossible to tell who’s wearing them. Your Denturist has carefully designed and shaped your dentures to fit jour jaw and bone structure. The colour of the teeth has also been carefully matched with your remaining natural teeth. If you have been fitted with a complete denture, colour of your new teeth will have been selected to give as natural appearance as possible. Do you recognize any of these symptoms or problems? - Do you have the confidence that no one can tell that you are a denture wearer? - Are ill fitting dentures making you uncomfortable and making chewing difficult? - Are you aware that a poorly fitting denture can cause premature aging? - Are you interested in Quality and Affordable dentures that provide for a Active Lifestyle and a Carefree Smile at Affordable prices? - Why is it so difficult today to have a denture made that looks great, functions well and are affordable. It is difficult today to get affordable dentures the look great and function well. I hear the frustrations of denture wearers that pay large sums of money only to be disappointed. They have dentures that look like dentures and really just don't fit.

| A.T.Z. DENTURES can change all this! A GOOD DENTURE MUST;  *Be comfortable to the person, *Restore the ability to speak with confidence, *Give the person an esthetical smile, *Allow the person to laugh, *Aid in the mastication of food, *Function without interferences, *Be very retentive without adhesive *And look natural and lifelike DENTURES SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE DENTURES! Remember, dentures do not adapt to you, you adapt to them! |
| Denturists are denture specialists. Complete upper and lower dentures are essential for the person who has none of their own natural teeth. To help maintain a healthy diet it is necessary to be able to chew food properly and this can best be achieved by having regular check ups with a denture specialist who has been trained and licensed to perform all the procedures relating to the manufacture, construction and fitting of dentures. Properly fitted dentures should also be a source of pride and satisfaction to the denture wearer, who can once again feel confident to smile and eat in public without worrying if other people can hear them chewing their food, because they click, or be concerned that they might slip or fall down.

| Caring for You and Your Dentures Whether you have worn dentures for some time or have recently had dentures fitted for the first time, we hope you will find a useful guide to wearing and caring for your dentures. What is important to remember is that you are not alone, nearly one adult in tree in central Europe wears dentures. The upper denture is "the good guy" - the one that gets all the smiles, the denture that causes the least discomfort. The big plus for the upper denture is its suction. This is caused by air caught between the palate of the denture and the roof of the mouth. This makes an ideal "suction cup". The lower denture has become the culprit for much "oral abuse". Lower dentures are much maligned; so much so that people tend to divorce them from their partner, the upper denture. |
| The lower denture has become something of a misfit and seeks
refuge in the most unlikely of places: drawers, bottom of the bed, under the bed, amongst
lipsticks in the bottom of ladies' handbags, in lunch pails and back pockets, or, if they
have a caring owner, submerged for eternity in a denture bath. So you see, the lot of a
lower denture leaves a lot to be desired. An "Immediate Denture"; is a denture that is inserted immediately after extraction. What are the reasons for having a denture inserted immediately? It could be vanity: "No one is going to see me without teeth," or, "I deal with the public every day; no teeth, no work", or medical reasons: "I have a stomach problem and I need to masticate my food". These are the basic reasons for having an immediate denture. In some cases an immediate is a "throw-away" (temporary) denture. If you have all your teeth out (a full mouth extraction), the shrinkage is major. After three or four weeks, you will need a temporary soft liner inserted. Three or four months later you will receive a permanent reline. This will probably last up to a year. Every time you have your denture relined it becomes thicker; also, with so many relines the position of your denture could move, which will change your bite. This will cause your denture to tip and dislodge, causing sore spots. This is when you get your "permanent" denture. If you do not have any of the reasons mentioned above for having an "immediate" denture, I would advise that you wait six to eight weeks before getting your teeth made; in actual fact, the longer you wait, the better fit you will get. Having an immediate denture made is far more expensive than the regular type denture; with the relines and the extra work involved it is more time consuming, and time is money!

| A partial denture; is designed to replace those
natural teeth which have been lost by accident, infection or other circumstance and have
left spaces between the remaining teeth. In order to maintain full chewing ability,
restore appearance and help prevent drifting of the remaining teeth a partial denture is
usually required. Partial dentures are available in a variety of designs and materials and your Denturist will be happy to discus the merits and drawbacks of each one. A partial denture is a very special appliance and in many cases requires more stringent care than a regular complete or full denture. This is because of some of the specialized materials they can be made from, such as metal and hard and soft acrylic resins, once again your Denturist will be happy to explain how to care for the appliance designed and made for you. With today’s materials and techniques dentures look so natural it’s almost impossible to tell who’s wearing them. You Clinical dental technician has carefully designed and shaped your dentures to fit your jaw and bone structure. The colour of the teeth has also been carefully matched with your remaining natural teeth. If you have been fitted with a complete denture, the colour of your new teeth have been selected to give as natural appearance as possible. In many instances, wearing a partial denture can have been of assistance when complete dentures are required, mainly because people have got used to wearing, caring for and knowing not to be unduly worried or concerned about what to expect from their dentures. |
| As with complete dentures, regular visits to your Denturist to
check the fit and comfort of your partial denture is essential. On these visits, any
unusual changes in the mouth or movement of the natural teeth can be seen and
recommendations made. If you accidentally drop your partial denture and it has a metal
base and clasps, do NOT try to fix it if it does not sit properly in your mouth. These
appliances are more delicate than they appear and can be easily broken if bent too much.
If you break your partial denture, simply put the appliance in a denture bath and make an
appointment to see your Denturist for a repair. As a denture specialist, your Denturist has been trained in all aspects of denture construction and will be only too pleased to have the opportunity to discuss your particular denture requirements. A denture reline is usually indicated when a denture starts to slip or fall down. This happening is almost always caused by minute changes which have been occurring in the gum tissue over a period of time. Eventually, of course, these changes have happened to such a degree that the denture will not stay in place. Relining a denture means that an impression of the gum is required and the denture is refitted to it using a new acrylic base. In certain cases a Soft Lining can be utilised, normally in the lower denture. In most cases this soft lining is not as durable as a regular hard liner and requires more attention. Your Denturist can advise you if you are a candidate for this type of lining and of the care it should be given. Remember, that relining is meant to tighten a denture and NOT change it, or your, appearance. Consequently, if you feel you are losing your smile and not showing as much of your teeth as you would like, relining will not make much, if any, difference. To restore your facial appearance to way you would like it normally calls for new dentures to be made. Before a denture reline is started your Denturist will examine it very carefully for signs of wear. If excessive wear is noted it is not usually practical to reline it, as your gum tissues and almost certainly your bite, has changed to such a degree that it would be unwise to reline the denture and instead have a new one made. Many denture wearers are under the impression that a set of dentures are supposed to last a lifetime, to which I ask them, "Does one pair of shoes last you a lifetime? or do you occasionally have to buy new ones? Because of changes which may occur in the mouth and the absorption of fluid or bacteria, together with colour changes due to age, dentures, should always be changed every 6 to 9 YEARS.

How often should I have to use denture adhesives?  It is quite permissible to use a denture adhesive occasionally, however, they should not have to be used all the time. Using these adhesives constantly can hide changes in the gum structure which can cause severe problems if not corrected. If you are not sure wither you are using these creams or powders too frequently, do not hesitate to make an appointment with your Denturist who will advise you on what course of action is required. It is also very important for denture wearers to clean their appliances every day to help remove stains, plaque and food which may become stuck to them. Brushing the gums, palate and tongue with a soft bristle brush dipped in a weak saline solution will help to stimulate blood flow to these areas and assist in keeping them free from the occasional sore spot. If a sore spot does develops and is not cleared within a few days when using this brushing technique, call your Clinical dental technician for an evaluation 0032(0)53/70.15.08 |

But people who have no teeth on average lose 1/3 mm of jawbone height each year. Sometimes that loss is greater due to certain medical conditions such as osteoporosis. As our jawbone shrinks, so do our gum tissues (sometimes referred to as ridges). Ridges can shrink up to a quarter-inch in 10 years! Your denture was made to fit firmly to the original shape of your oral anatomy. Now that shape has changed. Often you don’t notice the gradual receding of your gum tissues. But over time, your dentures loosen and become unstable, affecting you in any of a number of different ways. This is why dental professionals suggest you replace or refit your dentures every 6 to 9 years. When teeth are lost and gum tissues shrink, some facial support is lost. This explains why people with no teeth often have deep wrinkles around the mouth and a sunken look to their cheeks and lower face.
