New dentures – what’s involved?

Taking on the process of getting new dentures may feel daunting, but by completing it in smaller increments, it becomes much more manageable. Work with a dentist who has plenty of experience to get an idea of what timeline and format will work best for you.

Key considerations for getting dentures are that it takes approximately a month to adapt, and that consistent oral health care is just as important as ever.

• Day 1: It is common to feel discomfort at first, making soft foods like ice cream and mashed potatoes ideal as they are gentle on your mouth..
• Week 1 – 2: – increased salivation is typical at first, as are sore spots in areas where your new dentures touch your skin
• – To increase natural swallowing, eat a piece of candy , and to improve healing time for sore spots, rinse with warm salt water
• – Try relaxing your face muscles for a more comfortable fit.
• Week 3 – 4: After getting comfortable with your dentures, you may want to try adhesive in order to make them feel more natural and enable eating of harder foods. Be sure to chew well when trying new food items.
• Month 1: Well done for making it through the tough times! Most things will go back to normal, but remember to visit your dentist as often as possible for check-ups or if you’re still experiencing discomfort.

The process of getting new dentures

At EDR, we want to make sure you’re getting the best new dentures possible. The process starts with a thorough examination of your mouth by our experts. They’ll take into account things like the strength and quality of your jawbone to ensure that we find the right type and shape of denture for you.

Removable partial dentures

For people with some healthy natural teeth, removable dentures are a good option. They require impressions of the region and your bite is noted after which custom dentures are created and tested for comfort.

Permanent dentures

For patients with missing or damaged teeth, permanent dentures are ideal – they require implants to be fitted into the jawbone, with a few months of healing time before the dentures are fixed on top.
