It's normal to have questions about how dentures will affect your life. Talk to your dentures dentist before undergoing any treatment so you'll understand what's ahead. Ask your dentures dentist a few basic questions:
What will dentures feel like? Dentures may feel odd or even uncomfortable for the first few weeks. You may also experience some minor irritation and soreness. These things usually get better as your mouth adjusts to your dentures.
Will dentures affect the way I talk? Some words may be difficult to pronounce, so practice saying those words out loud for awhile. If your teeth click when you speak, contact your dentures dentist.
Will people know I'm wearing dentures? Dentures are designed to closely resemble your natural teeth. You will be able to speak, chew and look just like someone with a set of natural teeth.
How long will my dentures last? Your dentures dentist will tell you how to take care of your dentures. The better you care for them, the longer they'll last. Every few years, your dentures dentist may recommend a denture reline to adjust the fit. If your dentures become too loose over the years -- which can happen as your mouth's structure naturally changes -- your dentist will probably suggest a new set of dentures to ensure a snug fit.
If you think dentures might be right for you, talk to your dentist. The first step is an evaluation of your teeth and gums. Other options such as dental implants work for some. If not, your dentures dentist can explain exactly what you need. If you don't have a dentist, let us help! Call a friendly operator anytime at 1-866-970-9853.
