Can I further polish the teeth?

Modified on Thu, 26 Feb at 12:27 PM

Each Easy Denture kit includes a polishing block that you can use to help polish the teeth. The denture will also self-polish within a short period of time while in the mouth. If you have access to the right equipment and would prefer, you can also use an acrylic finishing bur to polish the teeth or base-plate (see below).

For DIY’ers: Due to the thermoplastic properties of Easy Denture, standard acrylic burs and pumice wheels cause too much heat due to friction and will make it very difficult to trim/polish. You will have much better success with a finishing bur used for Valplast dentures, and we suggest such a set from Brasseler. You can begin by using a cutter/carbide acrylic bur (i.e. H79GSQ.11.070 HP GSQ Cutter Carbide) to shape and trim, then a 25125HP Medium ScotchBrite Brush to polish. Use light pressure to reduce the heat from friction when polishing. After sanding or polishing, it is recommended to quickly dip the Easy Denture back into boiling water for about three seconds and use your fingers to smooth any edges that don’t feel perfectly polished.
