Dentures are worn to replace your natural teeth. They are usually made from life like resin teeth bonded to a plastic base. You may either need a complete denture or a partial denture to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures are usually held in place by clasps or metal clips, which fit around some of your remaining teeth.
Will anyone be able to recognize that i have worn dentures?
Not easily. With today’s technology dentures can be made to look so natural that people can’t tell who’s wearing them. Your dentist has custom made your dentures to fit your mouth, so they’ll take on the character of your original teeth, leaving your appearance the same as before. The colour of the teeth is carefully selected, either to match your remaining teeth, or simply to look as natural as possible.
HOW EASY IS IT TO ADJUST TO WEARING THEM?
While your dentures have been custom made, they may initially feel a little strange, or even rather a mouthful, however, rest assured that they only feel that way; you yourself will not look any different. You may also find that you produce more saliva than normal, but this should settle down soon enough. The time it takes to adjust to wearing new dentures is different for everyone, but you will soon learn how to eat, talk and smile as you would with natural teeth.
Pronouncing certain words may require practice. Reading out loud and repeating difficult words will help. But over time you will adjust and get used to it, so don’t worry! Using a denture fixative will give you extra confidence with speaking.
Yes. Learning to eat with artificial teeth requires considerable skill and practice. This is because every person’s mouth has a different structure, which can affect the retention and stability of the dentures. Also the level of suction which helps hold the denture in place, particularly the upper denture, will vary dependent upon the amount of saliva produced. Many denture wearers find the lower denture particularly difficult to manage at first. Experience will help, as will the use of a carefully selected denture fixative, which is a useful aid to assisting with denture retention and stability.
Once you get used to them, there is absolutely no reason why you should feel too restricted by your dentures . You will, with experience be able to enjoy your meals. At first it is probably a good idea to eat softer food, and to cut your food up into smaller pieces, just until you get used to your dentures. While you learn to use your dentures, it is also a good idea to take smaller mouthfuls and chew slowly; gradually you’ll get better as time goes on. After you put your food into your mouth, try to divide it into two, and then chew each half at the back of each side of your mouth. This even pressure on your dentures will stop them from tipping and make them feel more stable. A lot of denture wearers avoid difficult foods like toffee, crust, bread, nuts and apples because they are worried these might displace their dentures. However a fixative can help.
YES. Your dentures are made from materials that are softer than your natural teeth, so they will eventually need attention. Also your mouth changes shape after your teeth have been removed. So to make sure that your dentures continue to fit properly it is important that you visit your dentist at least once in a year to get yourself checked.
