Usage tips

Hygiene

Rinse your mouth after each meal. Clean your dental prosthesis with a soft bristle brush. Avoid abrasive and bleaching products as this may result in increased bacterial adhesion.

Wearing the prosthesis

Remove the prosthesis at night and place it in a container filled with water or dipping solution. If special circumstances require you to wear your prosthesis day and night, schedule a daily period of approximately two hours during which you can remove it.

Food

During the adaptation period, avoid foods that are hard and difficult to eat. Promote a soft, non-fibrous diet such as fish and dough-based foods, where you will gradually introduce harder and more consistent foods.

Pronunciation

Read aloud and practice speaking difficult words. The muscles of the mouth will get used to the new prosthesis faster.

Recommendations

A free annual check-up is recommended. It can detect any current problem and prevent potential. It also reveals whether an adjustment or renewal of the prosthesis is needed. At the same time, we can clean and polish the prostheses.

Application and removal of dental adhesive

Application

  • Clean and dry your prosthesis
  • Apply the adhesive of the size of a pea in 3 places on the underside of the prosthesis, avoiding to put too much near the edge of the prosthesis
  • Rinse your mouth before putting the prosthesis in place
  • Press and hold the prosthesis firmly in place and bite for a few seconds to secure it

Removal

  • Rinse your mouth with water
  • Carefully remove the prosthesis by moving it from left to right
  • Remove the remaining adhesive from the prosthesis and mouth with warm water and a soft brush
  • Use a recommended product to clean your prosthesis thoroughly before putting it back
