Maintaining a complete set of 32 teeth throughout one’s life can be a challenge, as factors like aging, dental issues, or accidents can lead to tooth loss. Dentures have long been a popular and cost-effective solution in cosmetic dentistry, offering a way to restore both your smile and self-confidence. At Designing Smiles Dentistry, our skilled professionals specialize in crafting and fitting partial or full dentures that not only look natural but also function effectively.
To ensure you make the most of your dentures, here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Dentures Require Regular Maintenance: Just like natural teeth, dentures need proper care. Brush your dentures at least twice a day or after meals using a toothbrush designed for dentures.
- Remove Them When Not in Use: Leaving dentures in your mouth for extended periods can lead to bad breath and gum recession. It’s essential to remove them and gently clean your gums and tongue with a soft-bristle brush.
- Expect Some Initial Discomfort: It’s normal to experience some discomfort when you first start wearing dentures. This discomfort usually diminishes as your mouth becomes accustomed to them over time.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Eating with dentures may require some adjustment. Experiment with different ways of eating to determine what works best for you, but typically, chewing with molars and premolars is most effective.
- Leave Repairs to Professionals: Attempting to repair, reline, or adjust your dentures at home can worsen the situation. It’s best to take them to your dentist for any necessary adjustments or repairs.
If you’re considering dentures to restore your smile, Designing Smiles Dentistry will collaborate with you to create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs, comfort level, and budget.
