Dental Tech dentures: the perfect fit

A denture should do more than fill a gap in your smile. It needs to work with your mouth when you speak and eat. Dentaltech’s original article highlighted the care that goes into individual fitting; that remains the starting point for a comfortable, useful denture.

Suffering from dry mouth

A dry, sticky mouth can make everyday things such as eating and talking uncomfortable. Occasional dryness can happen to anyone, but persistent symptoms deserve attention. Finding the cause matters as much as getting temporary relief.

Tooth extraction aftercare: a how-to guide

After a tooth extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket and helps protect the healing tissues. Looking after that clot, keeping your mouth clean and following your dental team’s instructions are the main priorities. Your own aftercare plan takes account of the tooth removed, your health and the treatment you had.

Composite veneers

Composite veneers use tooth-coloured resin to improve the appearance of the front surfaces of teeth. They can be an option for small chips, uneven shapes, gaps or discolouration. A consultation helps establish whether they suit your teeth and the result you want.
