Dentures are a great and affordable solution to missing teeth and can be made from either acrylic or metal.
There are two types of dentures: Full and partial.
Speaking: Talking might feel a bit funny to start with, and you might need a bit of practice pronouncing certain words. You can speed up the process of adapting to your dentures by repeating tricky words and reading out loud. Within two weeks, you should find that you’re speaking as usual again.
Eating: Similarly, eating might take a bit of practice at first. Soft foods are necessary for a few days. Once you’re accustomed to chewing, you can introduce more foods. Before you know it, you’ll be eating your usual diet!
Soreness: You might experience minor irritation when your dentures are first fitted, but this should ease quickly. In the meantime, we can relieve any discomfort by adjusting the surface of your dentures to keep them as comfortable as possible.
Your dentist or clinical technician will take some impressions of your teeth/gums to design your denture. The length of time it takes to create a denture will depend on your individual case.
Be assured that at each stage, we’ll check the fit, bite and overall look of your denture to ensure you’re 100% happy with your new smile. We will also help you choose the right shade of teeth before fitting the denture and provide professional advice on how to care for it.
If you’re thinking about having this treatment, you probably have lots of questions. Talking to someone who has seen the process from start to finish can really help.
