Do I need a new denture?
If your teeth are loose; your present denture is a poor fit or you have worn your denture for more than five years then it is time to check if a new denture is required. If this is done regularly this will maintain your jaw shape better and help you to wear a denture with less problems.
Careful planning and in collaboration with you we can design your teeth to look like your natural smile and fit like a glove.
Great dentist and great experience. Following my recent dental check I had to get some minor work done. Allan Matthews made me feel so comfortable. He explained everything fully and I felt at home and in safe hands. It was clear that Allan truly cares about his patients. My treatment was carried out to a very high standard and I am delighted with the result. Always excellent service and friendly staff throughout the practice.
Neeraj and his team have been looking after the family and me for 24 years - and while the younger members of the family have now moved to another country they still come to the practice for their dental care. Very caring and careful and proactive in what they do. And they don't rush to an inappropriate conclusion but take time to assess difficult situations - "judicious inactivity". This is important when you only get one shot at something. We trust the practice.
I was visiting from the US and broke a tooth.I was given Integrated Dentalcare as a referral from my travel insurance company. I saw Christine Morrell, the dentist, and was very pleased with the service they provided. They saw me the same morning I called and were very professional and friendly. The receptionist was very cordial and welcoming. I would highly recommend this office for any dental needs you might have while in Edinburgh.
People at Integrated Dentalcare were extremely kind and professional. They solved a dental problem I carried on for several years and it was an (almost) painless process.They dealt with my "dentistphobia" and were very understanding. It is unbelievable how much my quality of life has improved since my first visit a couple of months ago. Been picky, the only thing I don´t like is the warning in the receipts about charging you if you need to cancel at the last minute. Other than that, 10 points out of 10.
Delighted with the friendly and professional treatment I have received. I can't thank my dentist Christine enough for the time she has spent on my teeth. Every stage of treatment explained fully with great understanding of what patient hopes end result will look like. You can tell Christine takes great pride in her work. Well done!
It is advisable to have your dentures check every year and for you to consider replacement every five years. This makes it easier to cope with changes which are hopefully small changes.
Yes we have access to a huge selection of teeth and colours to meet your requirements.
For people who want complete control over the cleaning or have mobility issues or have lost a lot of the jaw bone, this may be a better option. It needs less professional intervention to maintain it.
If the bite or height of your dentures is not correct then this can cause jaw pain. However, there may be other reasons for this.
The palate on an upper denture increases the surface area of your denture which also helps with the suction and retention of the denture. Removing it might make the denture loose. If you have implants to hold your denture in place then you no longer need a palate.
You have saliva glands on the roof of your mouth which help with tasting food. If you have a palate on your denture then this will block them.
You can use denture fixative creams as a temporary measure but these will not resolve the actual issue which is that the denture does not fit. Ill-fitting dentures can accelerate the wear on your jaws resulting in more problems further down the road.
There are many techniques such as the BPS or the suction denture technique which can usually resolve this. In some cases you may find that you can improve the fit but cannot make it perfect. This is very much dependent on how much jaw bone you have left and whether the skin is thick enough to cushion the denture.
Your denture may not support the jaw in the right places making your face appear sunk in and you look older.
It’s still advisable to visit your dentist at least once a year to ensure that the dentures fit properly and that there are no lesions in your mouth that would later become sinister.
