| Q: |
My dentures need relining, can Ultra Suction™ be fitted at the same time? |
| A: |
Definitely! Your Dental Practitioner will be able to take an impression of your gums and fit, for an additional fee, Ultra Suction™ at the same time as relining your dentures. |
| |
| Q: |
How long would Ultra Suction last? |
| A: |
Ultra Suction™ valves are made of surgical stainless steel. They will last for as long as your denture. |
| |
| Q: |
I am getting new dentures for the first time. Should I ask for Ultra Suction™ to be fitted straight away? |
| A: |
Absolutely! Various studies conducted in Europe in the early 80's have shown that wearing dentures for the first time can be as hard as learning how to swim!
Developing wrong habits in the early stages of denture wearing are the major reasons for malnutrition, resulting from not being able to chew and swallow properly. Further, there is nothing to stimulate the desire to eat when dentures are unstable. Ultra Suction™ will improve the stability of your dentures, leading to a quicker adjustment to your new dentures. |
| |
| Q: |
Once fitted with Ultra Suction, how do I clean my dentures? |
| A: |
Use a soft brush, as you would normally to clean your dentures. Run water through the visible orifices in the suction chamber and remove any food debris on a daily basis. We recommend that you visit your Dental Practitioner every 6 months.
Your Dental Practitioner will check your gum and your denture for a proper fit, open the valves and clean the passages thoroughly. |
| |
| Q: |
My Dentist suggested 2 Implants supporting an overdenture as the best solution for my loose lower denture, but it's very expensive. Can I use Ultra Suction instead? |
| A: |
Your Dentist is right! But if you can't afford to spend several thousands for that type of procedure, Ultra Suction™ is another option. It's a lot cheaper too! |
| |
| Q: |
If I use Ultra Suction in my denture, will I still need my denture adhesive? |
| A: |
No! You won't need it. Denture adhesive will only clog the suction passages and make the valves ineffective. |
