 How
Do I Place and Remove My Dentures?
The implants and the O-ring
fixtures must be clean and free from debris. Grasp the denture with both
hands and lightly seat the denture, feeling that the O-rings are resting
above the ball head of the implants, then press down firmly and equally on
both sides. Make sure that you feel the implant heads easily fitting each
O-ring. You will feel the denture snap into place. If you have trouble
seating your denture, first make sure that the implants and denture are
absolutely clean. Secondly, make sure that you feel the implants resting
over each socket. A light touch will give you the best results. Remember
to push downward equally on both sides. If you are still experiencing
difficulty, see if a spouse or family member can assist you in placing the
denture.
To remove the
denture, place your thumbs under each lower denture rim and push both
sides upward at the same time. The tongue can also assist in this simple
removal process.
