There are two types of dentures - removable partial dentures and full dentures. Darius will consult with you to determine which ones will work best for you A removable partial denture attaches to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments. This means you may be able to keep some teeth. A complete denture can be either "conventional" or "immediate".
Your dentures may feel uncomfortable for the first few weeks while you get used to them. Practice taking them in and out to help get used to them and never force them in to place as you could bend or break the clasps.
Initially it may be difficult to eat, as your mouth is still getting used to the feel of the denture and your muscles take time to adjust. Over a short period of time, it should become easier once you are used to the dentures. Start with soft foods and make sure to chew evenly on each side. Avoid hard and sticky foods for example, lollies & toffees and chewing gum.
At first it may be difficult to speak clearly but this will improve rapidly. It's best to practice speaking words out loud that are hard to pronounce.
Darius will discuss your individual needs with you. Often you will need to wear the dentures all the time to begin with to work out if any adjustments are needed. After the adjustments you usually take the dentures out before you go to bed and put them in again the next morning.
