Caring for your New Denture

Post by: Gerarda on 13 Jan 2020

Today´s blog, is part 4 of a 6-part series.

How do I care for my new denture?
Dentures should be handled with great care and when not in use, should be placed in a container of water or denture cleaner. Never put them in hot water as they can become damaged and not fit properly. Clean them daily with soap and water and a soft toothbrush. When you have taken your denture out, rinse your mouth to clean it of any plaque that may have accumulated from eating and drinking. Do this daily to reduce the risk of any infection. You can also use a denture cleaning product sold at pharmacies.

How long can I expect my dentures to last?
Dentures should last a minimum of 5 years having been properly cared for. It can vary from patient to patient and depending on if you have had regular visits to your dentist to ensure the denture continues to fit well. Over time, the bone shrinks and causes the denture to become loose. A denture that has become loose is a recipe for faster bone loss. To prevent this bone loss from happening, the dentist will reline the ill-fitting denture so that it conforms to the oral tissue.

If you have fractured a tooth, lost a tooth or fractured the base of the denture it can be repaired by a dental lab within 1 to 2 days. It is important to contact your dentist for this as a DIY job while it will be cheap, will not allow you a perfect repair job or an adjustment of the bite.

Will dental insurance cover the cost of dentures?
Some insurances will cover the cost of dentures or at least pay a part of the cost. You would need to contact your insurance company to see how much they would cover as it varies from company to company.

If you are from Ireland you can use the cost as an expense to offset your income tax. You would fill out a Med 2 form and submit it along with your income tax. Swedes under some instances can claim their dental treatment from Skatteverket if they have proper documentation. Let your dentist know in advance of any treatment if you are going to send a claim to your tax office or insurance company as they will need very particular documentation including, but not limited to photos and X-rays before and after the procedure. By letting your dentist know in advance s/he can begin the necessary documentation from your first appointment.

A Facelift for Antonio Banderas

Post by: Gerarda on 22 Feb 2016

Antonio Banderas Plaza 2016

If you are Antonio Banderas the actor, then you don´t need a facelift as you are so darn handsome. However, if you are on the other hand, Antonio Banderas the 20 year old plaza in Puerto Banús, then you definitely need a make-over.

The Ayuntamiento has spent €434,000 on this new appearance for Puerto Banús. If you come to Banús now you will see the results of five month´s work, a newly renovated plaza with giant pergolas that provide shade from the summer sun, ample seating to rest your weary bones from soaking up that sun and shopping in the numerous stores in town. The marble floor has been restored and a new lighting system installed so you no longer have to look so carefully where you are putting your feet.

The Ayuntamiento is hoping that now since the plaza has been refurbished, it will become a destination and not just a place to walk through on your way elsewhere.

Come and enjoy the new look!
