Dentures FAQs
How long do dentures last?
Dentures typically last several years with proper care. Over time, changes in your gums and jawbone may require relining, adjustments, or replacement to maintain a secure and comfortable fit.
Will dentures look natural?
Yes. Modern dentures are custom designed to complement your facial features, with realistic tooth shape, color, and alignment for a natural-looking smile.
Are dentures comfortable?
There is usually a short adjustment period as your mouth adapts to the appliance. With proper fitting and follow-up adjustments, dentures become more comfortable and functional over time.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Most patients return to a broad and balanced diet. However, very hard, sticky, or tough foods may need to be limited to protect the dentures and ensure comfort while chewing.
Do dentures need special cleaning?
Yes. Dentures should be removed and cleaned daily using recommended denture cleansers. They should be handled carefully to prevent damage, and your gums and remaining teeth should also be cleaned regularly.
Can dentures be made more stable?
Yes. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, providing significantly greater stability, improved chewing ability, and enhanced confidence compared to traditional removable dentures.
