Do your dentures feel loose or keep sliding?

Dentures should fit comfortably and allow you to speak and eat with confidence. However, over time it’s common for dentures to feel loose or less stable, which can make daily activities more difficult.

One temporary way to improve the fit is by using denture adhesive. These specially designed products help dentures stay in place by creating extra grip between the denture and your gums.

Denture adhesives can help to:
• Improve stability while eating and speaking
• Reduce movement or slipping
• Provide extra comfort throughout the day

They are available in cream, powder, or strip form, and can be helpful when used correctly.

However, if your dentures frequently move or no longer fit properly, it may be time for a professional assessment. Changes in the shape of your gums over time can affect how dentures fit.

Our team can help evaluate your dentures and discuss options to improve comfort and stability.

If you’re experiencing problems with loose dentures, contact our practice for advice.

Dentures are a reliable solution for people who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. They are carefully designed prosthetic teeth that help restore the ability to eat, speak and smile.

Well-made dentures are customised to fit comfortably and support the natural structure of your mouth and facial features. This helps maintain proper function while also improving the appearance of your smile.

At our practice, we have many years of experience in the fitting of dentures. Over time, we have developed our own unique approach to fabricating dentures, focusing on comfort, stability, and natural-looking results.

Whether you need full dentures or partial dentures, the goal is always to restore both function and confidence in your everyday life.

Dental scaling, often called a deep cleaning, is an important procedure to remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth, including areas below the gum line that brushing and flossing can’t reach.

During scaling, a scaler is used to gently and effectively scrape away buildup, helping to:
• Prevent gum disease
• Reduce tooth sensitivity caused by tartar
• Maintain a healthy, clean smile
• Protect your teeth from decay and infection

Regular dental scaling is a key part of maintaining long-term oral health and keeping your gums and teeth strong.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the visible part of a tooth. Crowns are used to restore strength, function and appearance when a tooth is damaged, worn, or discoloured.

Common reasons for crowns include:
• Broken or cracked teeth
• Teeth with large fillings
• Severely stained or discoloured teeth
• Teeth that are misaligned or misshapen

Crowns are usually made of porcelain, which mimics the natural colour and translucency of your teeth, allowing for a seamless, natural-looking smile.

Benefits of dental crowns:
• Protects weakened teeth from further damage
• Restores proper bite and chewing function
• Improves aesthetics for a confident smile
• Long-lasting and durable with proper care

Dental crowns are a versatile solution that combines function, protection, and beauty, helping you maintain a healthy and attractive smile.

Teeth whitening can safely brighten your smile, but there are a few important things to know before starting treatment.
1. Not everyone is a candidate
Whitening works best on natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, and fillings do not whiten.

2. A dental check-up is important first
Your dentist should check for cavities, gum disease, or tooth sensitivity before whitening.

3. Sensitivity can occur
Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening, but this usually settles within a few days.

4. Results vary from person to person
The final shade depends on your natural tooth colour and the type of staining present.

5. Lifestyle habits matter
Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can cause staining over time. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular cleanings can help keep your smile brighter for longer.
Professional whitening performed under the guidance of a dentist is the safest way to achieve noticeable results.
Get a brighter, healthier-looking smile the safe way.

09/06/2026

Braces are an important step toward achieving a healthy, well-aligned smile. Taking proper care of them during treatment helps prevent cavities, gum problems, and delays in your orthodontic progress.

Here are a few important tips to keep your braces and teeth healthy:

1. Brush carefully after meals
Food can easily get trapped around brackets and wires. Brush at least twice a day, and ideally after meals, using a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

2. Don’t skip flossing
Flossing with braces can be more challenging, but it’s essential. Special floss threaders or orthodontic floss can help clean between teeth and under the wires.

3. Avoid certain foods
Some foods can damage braces or get stuck in them. Try to avoid:
• Hard foods (nuts, ice, hard sweets)
• Sticky foods (caramel, chewing gum)
• Very crunchy foods that can break brackets

4. Use orthodontic wax if needed
If a bracket or wire irritates your cheek or gums, orthodontic wax can help protect the area until your next visit.

5. Keep your orthodontic appointments

Regular visits allow your dentist or orthodontist to adjust your braces and ensure your treatment stays on track.

With the right care and good oral hygiene, your braces will help you achieve the healthy, confident smile you’re working towards.

Tooth decay is one of the most common health problems in children, but the good news is that it is largely preventable.

Cavities develop when bacteria in the mouth break down sugars from food and drinks, producing acids that slowly damage the tooth enamel.

A few simple habits can help protect your child’s teeth:

• Encourage brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Help younger children brush properly
• Limit sugary snacks and drinks between meals
• Encourage drinking water instead of sugary beverages
• Schedule regular dental check-ups

Baby teeth may be temporary, but they play an important role in speech, eating, and guiding adult teeth into place.

Healthy habits early in life can help children maintain strong, healthy smiles for years to come.

Give your child the gift of a healthy smile.
