Dentures

A complete denture that substitutes your natural teeth also provides support for cheeks and lips. Without it, unsupported facial muscles can increase the rate of ageing of your facial muscles and decrease your ability to eat and speak.

Types of Dentures

Full dentures replace a full set of teeth, with a flesh-colored acrylic base that covers the gums. This allows the entire set to sit on firmly and seamlessly.

Partial dentures are used when the surrounding natural teeth are not strong enough to support a dental bridge.

Dental implants can be used to stabilize dentures. The implants are attached to the jawbone, and to the arch of your dentures. With this treatment, dentures are more stable and don’t slip when you eat or talk.

Adapting to Dentures

Getting used to dentures often requires an adjustment period, and you will likely feel some discomfort at first. You may have difficulty with eating, but over time this will become easier.

You might trouble speaking, but your mouth will definitely adjust. It is best to practice moving the tongue and correct some words or pronunciation. Also, the dentures might slip – so it’s best to use the denture adhesive your dentist recommends.
