General FAQs
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and are typically made from durable materials like acrylic resin or metal, restoring both function and appearance so you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Common types of dentures include complete dentures for replacing all teeth in an arch, partial dentures for replacing some missing teeth, and implant-supported dentures that attach to dental implants for added stability. Other options include immediate dentures, which are placed right after tooth extraction, and flexible dentures made from lightweight, comfortable materials.
Conventional dentures typically last between 5 and 10 years, though this can vary depending on the materials used, how well they are cared for, and individual oral health. As your mouth changes over time, dentures may require adjustments, and eventually, a replacement or relining will be necessary to maintain a proper fit and comfort.
Modern custom-made dentures are designed to be both comfortable and functional, though it is normal to experience an adjustment period. Initial discomfort may occur but usually subsides within a few weeks as your mouth adapts. Long-term comfort depends on a proper fit, good oral hygiene, and regular dental check-ups.
To care for your dentures, brush them twice daily using a soft brush and mild soap, and rinse them thoroughly after meals. Remove them at night to allow your gums to rest, and soak them in water or a denture-cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive toothpaste or hot water, and visit your dentist regularly for professional checks to ensure a proper fit and long-lasting use.
