Dentures are often made from acrylic resin and porcelain, nylon, or metal alloys. Typically, the base of the denture, which sits on the gums is made of acrylic resin, and the teeth are made from porcelain or acrylic. Partial dentures can also sometimes include some metal framework for stability and strength.
Dentures are a long-lasting solution, but they are not necessarily permanent. Over time, your jawbone and gums can change, affecting the fit of your dentures. This may require relining, rebasing, or even new dentures to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Regular check-ups with our team will help monitor their fit and condition.
There's usually an adjustment period as your mouth, cheeks, and tongue adapt to the new appliance. This can range from a few weeks to a few months. During this time, you might experience increased saliva flow, some soreness, and slight difficulty with speaking or eating. We provide detailed guidance and offer adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and fit.
Proper care is essential for the longevity and hygiene of your dentures. You should clean them daily by brushing them with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive). It's also recommended to remove your dentures at night and soak them in water or a denture-cleaning solution to keep them moist and prevent warping. Regular dental check-ups are also important to assess your oral health and denture fit.
Absolutely! Modern dentures are custom designed to match your natural gum colour, and the artificial teeth are crafted to blend seamlessly with your facial features, achieving a highly natural and aesthetic appearance. Our skilled team focuses on creating dentures that enhance your smile without looking artificial.
Initially, you may need to start with soft foods cut into small pieces and gradually introduce more solid foods as you adapt. Avoid extremely sticky or hard foods that could dislodge or damage your dentures. With practice and proper care, most patients can enjoy a wide range of foods.
When you first get dentures, you might notice a slight lisp or difficulty pronouncing certain words. This is temporary as your tongue and lips learn to adjust to the new appliance. Practicing speaking aloud and reading can help speed up this adjustment process.
The cost of dentures varies depending on the type of denture (full or partial), the materials used (e.g., acrylic, chrome cobalt), and the complexity of your individual case. We offer transparent pricing and will provide a detailed quote during your consultation, outlining all costs involved.
