Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

How do I know if dentures are right for me?

Here are some signs:

• You're missing many or all of your teeth.
  
  

• Your teeth feel wiggly or hurt.
  
  

• It's hard to chew your food.
  
  

• You don't like to smile because teeth are missing.

If any of these sound like you, call us! Our team will look at your mouth and talk with you about whether dentures is a good treatment option for you.

Will getting dentures hurt?

No, it shouldn't hurt! If we need to take out any teeth first, we'll give you medicine to numb your mouth so you won't feel pain during the tooth extraction procedure.

When we make molds of your mouth, we use a digital scanner to take scans of your teeth—a more comfortable alternative to traditional impressions.

How long will dentures last?

It depends on how you care for them and how your mouth changes over time.

• With good care, dentures usually last 5 to 10 years.
  
  

• Your gums and jaw can change shape as time goes by. When this happens, your dentures might need to be fixed or replaced.
  
  

• Regular dental exams help us check that your dentures still fit right and are working properly.

Important: If your dentures feel loose, hurt your gums, or make it hard to eat, please call us right away! We can fix them or see if you need new ones.

Can dentures break or come out?

Dentures might break if you drop them on the floor or if you chew something very hard. They can also feel loose after a while if your gums change.

Come see us regularly so we can check your dentures and fix them if needed. This keeps them fitting well and helps stop them from breaking or slipping out.

Are partial dentures strong like full dentures?

Yes! Both kinds are made from good, strong materials. Partial dentures work together with the teeth you still have, and they can last a long time if you take care of them.

Which kind of dentures you need depends on how many teeth you're missing and how healthy your other teeth are.
