Dentures For Teeth

A denture for teeth is a removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Commonly referred to as ‘false teeth’, a denture is usually made of acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal. A good set of dentures helps you to eat, speak, and function and often improves a person’s appearance.

What to expect?
New dentures always feel strange when first placed in your mouth. Several days or weeks will be required before you get accustomed to them. Adaptation varies with different persons, and often time and experience are essential before dentures can be worn comfortably and function effectively.

How long do dentures last
With proper care, dentures typically last 5–10 years. As the form of your mouth changes over time, you might need to make alterations or replace them.

Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are designed for comfort and a natural fit. It may take a few weeks to get used to them, but most people adjust quickly.

How do I care for my dentures?
Every day, use a gentle brush and non-abrasive solution to clean your dentures. Remove them at night, soak them in a denture solution, and rinse before wearing them again.

Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes. While you may need to start with soft foods, most people can enjoy a wide variety of foods once they adapt to their dentures.

What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?

While partial dentures replace a few missing teeth and attach to the remaining natural teeth, complete dentures replace every tooth in an arch.
