Dentures

Dentures are one method to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Many patients require a complete set of dentures if all of their original teeth have been removed, while others require a partial set only. Dentures are designed to match the particular needs of each patient.

Adjusting to your dentures may require some time. The dentures’ flesh-colored base sits atop your gums. It’s common for individuals to initially feel that the base is bulky or there’s insufficient space for their tongue. At times, the dentures may also seem loose. Such sensations can temporarily influence how you eat and speak. However, as time passes, your mouth adapts to eating and speaking with the dentures, making them feel increasingly similar to your natural teeth. While they may never feel perfectly comfortable, having dentures is significantly preferable to being without teeth.

Caring For Your New Dentures

Dentures should be cleaned and cared for just as if they were your natural teeth. Brush regularly using a recommended toothpaste to prevent plaque build-up or stains. After cleaning, remove your dentures and then carefully put them into a glass of denture cleaning solution or room temperature water. Don’t use hot water since it can create a risk of warping. If your dentures become loose, uncomfortable or ineffective, contact your dentist. Do not try to make adjustments to your dentures on your own.

Getting Accustomed To Your New Dentures

Just like with other dental procedures, it will take some time and patience to get accustomed to your denture. For the majority of patients the process is relatively brief. Try to stay on softer foods and consume plenty of liquids for a couple of days after getting your bridge. Soon you can resume your normal diet without difficulty.
