Dentist New York, NY-Dr Lawrence Spindel Same Day Denture Repairs NYC Same Day Denture Repairs NYC Dr Lawrence Spindel, Wednesday Sept 10, 2008 A cracked or broken denture is one of the true dental emergencies that a denture wearer experiences. We get frantic calls from patients who ‘need’ a same day denture repair. Fortunately, most often we can accommodate these distressed patients, who really do not want to be without their dentures for more than one day and desire an immediate same day repair. Broken dentures should be repaired at a denture laboratory. The lab technician reapproximates the pieces of the denture together and fixes them in place exactly and then they often create a plaster index or some other index, that will allow them to remove some of the acrylic adjacent to the broken margin of the denture. Denture repairs can often be accomplished in several hours. Our office uses an excellent dental technician whose laboratory is located in our building who likes doing these repairs and her work is excellent. Dentist New York
Cosmetic Dentistry Tip: Brushing alone is usually not enough to ensure that a person won’t develop periodontal disease. Since 40% of a tooth’s surface is not reachable by tooth brushing, some sort of interproximal cleaning device should be used on a regular basis. Floss, Stimudents and small interproximal brushe , and all work well. It doesn’t matter as much which method is chosen, but what counts is that one of these is effectively used on a regular basis. Regular and frequent professional cleaning at the dentist also help, since they remove any accumulations of plaque and tarter that have been missed by a patient by their daily homecare regime. Also a patients home care can be checked at frequent cleaning visits and the hygienist will encourage them to do better. Human nature being what it is, patients often perform their best home care immediately before and after their checkups. . *Friday, February 3, 2012*
