Soft liners on lower dentures.

16/2/2017

A quick word on soft liners.
The gentleman in last months blog post had a soft liner on his previous lower dentures. I'm not a fan of soft liners unless there is no other option.
Why? Because they can peel off, they are hard to adjust and they can get get dirty because they can be hard to keep clean. In my experience there are very, very few people that need a soft liner. 
I made his new denture without a soft liner and he's going very well. As long as the denture fits well, is designed properly and has been made on a good impression, it will be fine in the vast majority of cases.

This gentleman had existing full upper and lower dentures that didn't look too bad. However I noticed from his profile that his upper lip was looking sunken in. This needed fixing! I constructed new full upper and lower dentures. The front upper teeth were moved forward to push out the top upper lip. You can see in the photos below the difference it made.

The natural teeth have been cut off the plaster model. The false teeth have been positioned in pink wax. Wax will be applied to shape the gums. When that is done they will be ready to process into acrylic.

Full upper and lower immediate set of dentures.

2/12/2016

 
This 30 y.o. gentleman has severe decay in all his teeth. A dentist referred him to me to construct full upper and lower immediate dentures. This means the dentures will be made before the teeth are extracted. When the teeth come out the dentures are placed in the mouth immediately.
