Dentures Q & A
1. What types of dentures are available?
Dentures may be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing several missing teeth). Depending on your needs, we may recommend traditional removable dentures or implant-supported options for improved stability.
2. Will dentures look natural?
Yes. Modern dentures are designed to closely match the shape, size, and color of natural teeth. We customize each set to complement your facial features and create a realistic, balanced appearance.
3. How long does it take to get used to wearing dentures?
There is an adjustment period, which is completely normal. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but most patients adapt within a few weeks. Ongoing adjustments can help improve comfort as you adjust.
4. Do dentures require special care?
Dentures should be cleaned daily to remove plaque and bacteria. They should also be handled carefully and stored properly when not in use. Regular dental visits are important to ensure proper fit and oral health.
5. Can dentures be repaired or adjusted if they become uncomfortable?
Yes. Over time, changes in your gums and bone structure can affect how dentures fit. If you experience soreness or looseness, adjustments or relines can often restore comfort without needing a full replacement.
