What are Simplus 3D Dentures made of?
Better technology makes a better denture. The materials used in the fabrication of a Simplus+ 3D Denture are the result of intensive research. The denture is made by combining a proven highly cross-linked PMMA tooth material with a premium denture base material. The tooth and gingiva materials are then bonded together to product a direct chemical bond to insure a long-lasting denture.

How should my patient’s new dentures be cared for?
Dentures can change shape if they dry out. When not in use, cover dentures with a water or denture cleaning solution
Brush dentures everyday to remove the micro-organisms that live in the plaque that can cause stains or odor. Do not use toothpaste because it contains a material and chemicals that help natural teeth but can be harmful to the surface of a denture. A special denture brush should be used followed by an overnight soak in denture cleaning solution.
You should check your patient’s denture fit every 6 months. Our mouths are always changing and it can create discomfort if the dentures aren’t a perfect fit.

Is it time to replace my patient’s dentures?
It might be time for a new denture if your patient answers yes to any of these questions:
1. Are you having difficulty chewing food?
2. Are you having difficulty speaking?
3. Are you always biting the sides of your mouth or cheek?
4. Do you have continued discomfort wearing your dentures?
5. Have you had your dentures for over 5 years?
Additionally, if the patient’s mouth is red or inflamed, or you notice chips or cracks in the dentures, it may be time to make them an appointment with us.
