Smile Confidently Again

Dentures come in two primary types: complete (full) and partial. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. The best option depends on your individual needs, and your dentist will guide you in making the appropriate choice.

With proper care, dentures can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or even longer. However, it’s essential to note that the natural changes in your mouth over time might require periodic adjustments or replacements to maintain a proper fit and function.

Daily cleaning of dentures is crucial. They should be removed and brushed to remove food particles and plaque. It’s also recommended to soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution. Always handle with care to avoid damage, and avoid using hot water, which might warp them.

Yes, like any new dental appliance, there’s an adjustment period. Initially, they might feel a bit strange or bulky, and you might experience minor irritation or increased saliva production. However, these feelings should subside as your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures.

While there’s an adjustment period when first getting dentures, most patients find they can return to their regular diet over time. Initially, it’s best to start with soft foods and avoid sticky or hard items. With practice and patience, you’ll learn to eat comfortably with your dentures.
