Navigating through the process of getting new dentures can bring up many questions. We've compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions to help guide you towards a comfortable and confident experience with your denture care.

How do I know if I need dentures?

If you are experiencing discomfort, difficulty eating, or have missing teeth, it might be time to consider dentures. A consultation with our team can help determine if dentures are the right solution for you and which type would best suit your needs.

What types of dentures do you offer?

We provide a variety of denture options including complete dentures for those missing all their teeth, partial dentures for those missing some teeth, implant-supported dentures for enhanced stability, and temporary dentures as a short-term solution during the healing process.

How long does it take to get used to new dentures?

Adaptation varies from person to person, but most individuals start to feel comfortable with their new dentures within a few weeks. It's normal to experience minor irritation or increased saliva flow initially, but these issues typically resolve as you adjust to your new dentures.

How should I care for my dentures?

Daily cleaning with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner is recommended. Keep them moist when not in use by soaking them in water or a denture solution to maintain their shape. Avoid using hot water, which can warp dentures.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, most people are able to enjoy a wide range of foods with dentures. However, it may take some time to adjust to eating certain hard or sticky foods. We recommend starting with soft foods cut into small pieces and gradually reintroducing other foods as you become more comfortable with your dentures.
