Eat with confidence
Good food is often a pleasure and we want to ensure this is still the
case when you have any of our denture teeth.
• A stable and secure fit of your denture to your gums
Chewing is the first step in the process of digestion as your denture
teeth and your natural teeth are used to compact the food for
swallowing. A certain amount of biting force and muscle coordination
is required to chew effectively. Sometimes dentures can reduce your
bite and chewing forces especially complete dentures. This can mean
the denture wearer restricts their diet, reduces quantities of food they
consume and even where and with whom they dine.
• A bite comparable to your own natural teeth
We want you to be able enjoy your food, when and where you want
to, so make sure you choose high quality denture teeth that can help
with the digestion process - by keeping as much chewing efficiency as
possible.
Ask your dental professional which range of Ivoclar Vivadent denture
teeth will suit you best and whether our Biofunctional Prosthetic
System can be used to improve your biting force and chewing ability.
The combined use of Dental Implants with Ivoclar Vivadent denture
products ensures that a complete denture wearer can greatly improve
their bite force.
• Improved taste with less denture base
• Improved digestion and wellbeing
• No pressure points, sore spots – and no more denture tilting when
eating
• Restored chewing ability with greater enjoyment of food

Dental implants resolve the many issues experienced by denture
wearers by holding dentures firmly in place. Dentures retained by
dental implants offer the following advantages:

Smile with confidence
A smile is an important social asset but many people suffer from
visually poor and ill-fitting dentures that look unnatural and as such
avoid smiling and laughing altogether.
Your dental professional can show you our life like denture teeth and
discuss the best colour for you. Whether you prefer the more natural
look of the unique ‘Pearl Effect’ surface finish of our SR Vivodent
PE denture teeth, or if you are looking for a gender and age specific
design of the next generation SR Phonares II denture teeth, your
dental professional has the knowledge to guide you through your
choices.
The shape of your face, the shape of your jaws, your age, gender and
personality, it all plays a part in choosing the right denture teeth for you.
The Ivoclar Vivadent denture tooth ‘Form Selector’ is a reliable method
for choosing the right replacement teeth for you. It helps your dental
professional select teeth according to your individual characteristics and
offers young, universal or mature tooth designs.
Ivoclar Vivadent uses a state of the art manufacturing process that
produces denture teeth in the many layers that nature intended.
Incorporating the very latest in computer aided design and
manufacture we can ensure that the many characteristics of the
natural tooth are perfectly replicated in each and every tooth we
produce. Bonded together under high heat and pressure for the
utmost in durability means our denture teeth also come with a quality
guarantee against excessive wear.
Gender, age and personality
Your denture teeth will look their most natural and part of you if the
denture teeth used replicate the size, shape and colour of your natural
teeth. Your dental professional has many charts and communications
tools from Ivoclar Vivadent to help with the choice of denture tooth
to ensure a completely realistic smile time after time. Photographs of
your smile before tooth loss can help when deciding on the teeth for
you and your dental professional can even tell from the anatomy of
your mouth where and what size your once healthy natural teeth
used to be.

lost natural dentition and recording the functional movements of
your jaw, facial muscles and tongue, your denture instability can be
reduced. By positioning your Ivoclar Vivadent denture teeth correctly
your dental professional can minimise any speech discrepancies.
Many complete denture wearers have experienced advanced bone loss
in the lower jaw and have none of the retentive elements necessary to
keep their denture in place. Even joining in with simple conversations
can be a difficult task because the denture instability affects the
person’s speech.
The use of dental implants often means much less denture base and
tissue coverage will be required which will help with speech.
Using the methods of the Biofunctional Prosthetics System your
dental professional can minimise the movement of your lower
denture. By correctly recording your bite, by choosing the right
denture teeth for your jaw, replicating the face height of your
Many denture patients find that dentures often help to improve speech
overall and speaking without wearing them an impossible task. As
your tongue and lips get used to the shape of your new dentures, any
initial difficulties you experience will soon subside. Reading aloud is very
effective and can help improve speech.
It is common to salivate more (which can affect speech) when your new
dentures are fitted. As your mouth gets used to the presence of your
new dentures, this will soon subside. Try sipping water to thin down
your saliva and try swallowing more often.

Complete dentures
At Ivoclar Vivadent we appreciate that the loss of all natural
permanent teeth can reduce the quality of your life and your selfimage. It is well documented that people who have lost all natural teeth
experience many social and physical limitations as a consequence of
poorly made dentures.
If you have lost all of your natural teeth no matter what
the reason, then complete dentures make the ideal choice to act as
replacements. A complete denture replaces all the lost natural teeth
and adjacent tissues in either the upper
or lower jaws.
You may be a candidate for the Biofunctional Prosthetics System
which is a well researched technique that offers numerous benefits to
patients who have experienced total tooth loss.
The systems methods ensure you will look and feel good again with
next generation denture teeth that perfectly replicate nature’s own,
restoring your self-esteem and confidence - helping to improve your
quality of life.
Everyday benefits include:
• More confidence when eating and chewing
• More confidence when smiling and laughing
• More confidence from improved fit and denture function
Complete upper dentures usually stay in position using suction,
whereas the complete lower denture is kept in place by correctly
fitting to your gums and muscles. If you want your denture to be
more stable, an injection moulded denture base may be a great
solution along with the benefits of correctly positioned denture teeth
and improved biting force. Ask your dental professional whether a
denture made according to the Biofunctional Prosthetic System would
be suitable for you.
When you lose all of your natural teeth your jaw bone naturally
shrinks away to a lower level especially in the lower half of your
face. This can cause a problem for denture stability and retention,
particularly when eating. Ivoclar Vivadent’s denture teeth: SR
Orthoplane® DCL and SR Ortholingual®DCL have been specifically
designed to improve denture stability in this situation allowing you to
enjoy the foods you love.
Remember it may take a while to adjust to wearing new dentures.

Implant retained complete dentures
Complete dentures can be retained in the mouth by the use of
dental implants. These are small titanium screws that are placed in
your jawbones that replicate the function of the lost roots to which
the denture is then attached. Dental implants offer high strength
and durability and last a lifetime. They help denture wearers avoid
unstable dentures, gum irritations, pressure points, sore spots, taste
impairments and poor speech.
No matter what your decision though, your
dental professional will be able to discuss
an Ivoclar Vivadent solution that will work
for you.
Ivoclar Vivadent denture teeth and denture base materials are
designed to work in combination with dental implants. Just two
dental implants in your lower jaw, used to secure a complete denture
in place, are proven to significantly help overcome the social and
physical limitations experienced by complete denture wearers by
making dentures more secure.

I had never lost my natural
teeth. I still can’t believe they
are artificial

Partial dentures
Even if you have just got a few teeth missing it is
important to get them replaced - a partial denture
can be a great solution to:
• Prevent further damage to your remaining teeth
• Prevent your remaining teeth from tilting and moving
• Restore your smile and general appearance
• Improve your speech
• Make eating more comfortable and enjoyable
There are lots of options available to you as partial dentures can be
made from gum coloured plastic or a mixture of plastic and a light
metal alloy base, which then hold the replacement teeth, firmly in
position.
Metal alloy partial dentures are far less bulky, so can be lighter and
more comfortable in the mouth. Alloy clips and precision attachments
can be incorporated to secure the denture in place. Due to the time
and specialist skill that is required to design and construct alloy partial
dentures, they can be more expensive than the plastic alternatives but
they often prove a great long term investment.
If you want enhanced strength, longevity and
improved support for your denture teeth, ask
your dental professional about using impact
resistant SR Ivocap® denture base material for
your partial denture
Combined with Ivoclar Vivadent denture teeth you can be sure that
your partial denture will look completely natural.

Why choose private dentures?
Private dentures
Economy dentures/Standard dentures
Private healthcare is more affordable than ever with access to dental
care at a time that suits you. Whether you choose to receive your
treatment from a Dentist or a Clinical Dental Technician, you can rest
assured that if they use Ivoclar Vivadent denture products the results
will be natural looking with a smile that lasts. Dental professionals
that choose to use Ivoclar Vivadent products do so with their patients
firmly in mind and only wish to offer the most innovative solution.
Private dentures take time to manufacture and are costly so this is
generally reflected in the cost of treatment.
A lesser standard of denture can often lead to patients experiencing
visually poor dentures with a false look. A more basic selection of
tooth shapes are offered and the techniques used are less advanced
with little time for more personalised denture care. Little thought is
given to your individual needs with average positioning of teeth and
reduced functionality of the dentures. More complex work for partial
dentures or dentures requiring stabilisation using dental implants
cannot be undertaken due to a reduced budget and the use of basic
techniques. Economy dentures do not offer any of the advantages
of dentures produced using Ivoclar Vivadent denture products and
techniques.
Private dentures made with Ivoclar Vivadent products offer –
• A wide range of natural looking gender specific tooth
shapes and colours
• Durable state of the art next generation materials
• High impact injection moulded denture bases in a wide
choice of gum colours
• Guarantees against tooth wear
• Well researched and proven methods
• Solutions to more complex cases
You can expect an acceptable standard of workmanship with
an average looking result.
Have you considered all your options?
Ask your dental professional about Ivoclar
Vivadent denture products today and
experience the difference for yourself.
Quality is paramount so you can expect your dental professionals to be
accredited to use our denture systems via the many training courses we
offer in the UK and abroad.

Find your new dentures
Your new dentures and new smile can be created for you in a couple
of ways. What is important is that you know the choices you have and
how that allows you to decide what is best for you.
At Ivoclar Vivadent our aim is to support the dental professional and
to ensure they deliver to their patients the best possible solution, so
everyone is happy.
The traditional way of obtaining dentures was to see your Dentist
who would then usually instruct a Dental Technician to make your
dentures, to their exact specification. This is still a route available to
obtain your new dentures.
A new route to obtaining dentures is via a Clinical Dental Technician
or CDT who is a legally registered dental care professional, trained and
qualified to provide a range of denture services direct to patients –
services that were previously only available through your Dentist.
Whichever route you take though, your dentures will be fitted by a
dental professional who will have been able to make the right choice
from our world class products, so you receive the dentures you need
to Eat, Smile and Talk with Confidence.

Looking after your dentures
Ivobase System
The new IvoBase Injector produces exceptional results
using the most advanced techniques in dentistry. You
can relax knowing that the IvoBase system, alongside
SR Phonares II produces dentures that are comfortable
to wear due to excellent fit with outstanding
aesthetics.
Looking after your smile is as important as choosing your
perfect dentures. Ivoclar Vivadent have a wide range of
professional care products that can help you maintain
all teeth, be they natural, restored or artificial, in good
condition.
Cervitec Gel
Crowded teeth, fixed braces or tooth
replacements make it difficult to clean
certain areas: Harmful bacteria settle
and multiply in these areas. They may
cause inflammation of the gums,
damage to the teeth (tooth decay) and
odours. Other factors may also play a
role in the case of inflammation and
gum bleeding. Your dentist and his or
her team will advise you on the possible
causes and initiate the suitable therapy.
NEW
c
Cervite
• Very comfortable to wear due to excellent fit,
dimensional stability and superb surface finish.
• Confident feeling due to the low residual monomer
content and reduced fracture risk.
Patients with denture stomatitis are
also able to use Cervitec Gel which
contains chlorhexidine. Due to the
viscosity of the gel it can also act as
a suction for your denture, therefore
it treats the infected area as well as
keeping your denture in place.
