Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
Who might need dentures?
Dentures may be what you've been looking for if you're missing all or nearly all your teeth on your upper or lower jaw. Traditional complete dentures replace a whole arch of teeth, while partial dentures are utilized when you still have some natural teeth remaining. Dentures can even be anchored to a set of dental implants for ideal function and stability.
What are dentures made from?
The price point of your dentures will mostly determine what they're made from. It is common to use acrylic for the base of the teeth (the part that looks like your gums). It will be laid over a metal framework for extra strength. The teeth are made from either porcelain, which looks the most natural, or acrylic composite because of its light weight and lower expense.
How long does it take to make dentures?
Our team will take impressions that we will use to design your customized dentures. Aesthetic results are just as important to us as functionality, which is why we will make sure your new teeth work and fit precisely and that your smile looks natural and attractive.
Should I sleep with my dentures in?
In most cases, dentures should be removed overnight. This gives your gums a break and gives you time to clean the dentures thoroughly. Follow any specific instructions you receive after extractions or when first receiving your dentures.
Why are my dentures getting loose?
Your jawbone and gums gradually change after teeth are lost. As the shape underneath the denture changes, the fit can loosen. An adjustment, reline, or replacement may eventually be needed.
Will dentures change how I speak?
You may notice small changes at first because your tongue has to adjust to the new shape in your mouth. Reading aloud and speaking normally usually help. Most people adapt as the dentures begin to feel more familiar.
How should I clean my dentures?
Use a soft denture brush and a cleaner intended for dentures rather than abrasive toothpaste. Clean them over a towel or basin of water so they're less likely to break if you accidentally drop them.
Can dentures look like natural teeth?
Yes. Modern dentures can be customized for tooth shade, size, shape, and arrangement. The gum-colored base is also designed to blend with your tissues. Natural-looking dentures don't have to appear perfectly uniform.
