Losing teeth can drastically change a person’s appearance and cause them to feel self-conscious about their smile. It can also lead to difficulties with eating and speaking.

Missing teeth can cause a variety of dental issues, not just an unattractive appearance. It causes drifting of teeth resulting in spaces between teeth that can be easily filled with food debris and plaque. Failure to remove these can result in tooth decay, gum disease, and further tooth loss.

Advantages of Dentures

Restores your smile and facial support
Dentures are made of acrylic that can complete a patient's smile. With dentures, patients can smile confidently, knowing there is no gap between their teeth. Additionally, the plastic base of dentures prevents the facial muscles from sagging, making the patient look younger.

Allows patients to chew and eat better
Dentures replace the patient's missing teeth with artificial teeth, allowing them to masticate their food better. While it may take time for them to be able to eat all the foods they used to consume before losing their teeth, with practice and patience, they will eventually be able to do so.

More affordable teeth replacement option
Dentures are less expensive than other options for teeth replacement, such as bridges and dental implants, making them a good option for those on a budget.

FAQ's About
Dentures
Getting dentures can be a confusing decision to make with all the other available options there are. Here’s a compiled list of frequently asked questions to know more about dentures.
What are the types of dentures?
Different types of dentures are available to meet patients’ different needs. A full or complete denture is designed to replace all of the teeth in a patient’s upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Overdentures are dentures that use the root stumps of natural teeth as anchorage for improved retention and sensory feedback. On the other hand, implant-supported dentures are dentures that are attached to implants that are embedded into the jaw bone, providing increased retention and stability.
Why is it necessary to replace my missing teeth with dentures?
Losing teeth can have a major impact on your oral health. Without the support of your teeth, your jawbone will shrink, causing your face to change shape. Also, as a person loses more teeth, the more difficult it is to eat and speak properly. Missing teeth can also lead to an increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Dentures are an efficient way to replace missing teeth and restore the function of your mouth. They are also a cosmetic option, helping you achieve a better smile. With dentures, patients can have their missing teeth replaced and prevent the dental problems that come with missing teeth.
How long will my dentist make my dentures?
Depending on the type of dentures you need, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to make them. Full dentures usually take longer to make than partial dentures. In either case, you will need to make several trips to the dental office to ensure that your dentures fit properly and look natural.
The best way to get an accurate estimate of how long it will take to get your dentures is to consult with our experienced dentists. They will be able to assess your specific needs and give you a timeline for treatment.
Does getting dentures hurt?
What should I expect when I wear my dentures for the first time?
When you first get your dentures, it is normal to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. After all, you are wearing a new appliance in your mouth. However, you can do a few things to help make the transition easier.
First, follow your dentist’s instructions for cleaning and caring for your dentures. This will help to keep them clean and prevent odours.
Second, take some time to practice speaking and eating with your dentures. It may feel awkward initially, but the more you practice, the more natural it will become.
Finally, be patient with yourself. It takes time to get used to wearing dentures, but eventually, you will feel as comfortable as ever.
How do I clean my dentures?
It’s important to clean your dentures every day to remove plaque and prevent gum disease. Follow these steps to clean your dentures:
- When cleaning your denture, always put it over a bowl of water or a folded towel in case you drop it.
- Use a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive cleanser or dishwashing liquid to remove plaque from the denture. Do not use toothpaste, and do not brush too hard to avoid scratches and grooves in the denture.
- Don’t forget to brush the underside of the denture, especially if you’re using a dental adhesive.
- For 3-5 minutes daily, you may soak the denture in a cleanser solution. Afterwards, rinse and dry the denture. Do not soak overnight.
Following these steps can help keep your dentures clean and your mouth healthy!
Can I sleep or normally eat with dentures?
Dentures are designed to function like natural teeth, and with a bit of practice, you’ll be able to eat your favorite foods normally in no time. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind when learning how to eat with dentures.
- Start with soft foods and work up to harder foods. This will help you get used to the feel of your dentures and prevent them from slipping.
- Avoid crunchy or chewy foods that could damage your dentures, and be careful with sticky or gooey foods that could cause them to slip.
- Cut your food into small pieces. This will help you avoid putting too much stress on your dentures and make chewing easier.
- Sleeping with your dentures is not advisable as it does not give your gums and jawbone a time to relax from the constant force applied to them, making your bone shrink faster than normal.
What is the estimated cost of getting dentures?
The cost of dentures depends on several factors, including the type of denture you need, the number of teeth to be replaced, and if there are other dental procedures that need to be done.
To get a more accurate estimate, schedule a dental visit in our clinic. Our friendly team of dentists will discuss your treatment options, their corresponding costs, and payment plans that will fit your budget.
