Frequently Asked Questions About Removable Dentistry
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Yes, modern dentures are designed for comfort and functionality. It may take a short adjustment period to get used to them, but once you do, they should fit comfortably and allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
What’s the difference between partial and complete dentures?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill in gaps where some natural teeth remain.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in your jawbone. They provide added stability, prevent slipping, and help preserve jawbone health.
How do I care for my dentures?
Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, remove them at night, and store them in water or denture solution to prevent drying out.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes! While there may be an adjustment period, you’ll be able to eat most foods. Overdentures or implant-supported dentures provide additional stability for chewing tougher foods.
