In fact, a denture must be re-made every years in order to provide optimal function. You might find this advice strange coming from an oral surgery office who does not restore teeth, but rather removes them and replaces them with dental implant s.
At the Dallas oral surgery practice of Dr. Robert A. Weinstein, patients are encouraged to repair damaged teeth whenever possible. This is because there is simply nothing better to eat, laugh, talk and chew with than natural teeth. Sometimes, repair of natural teeth is not possible or practical.
They are more expensive than other methods and can only be used for partial dentures. Your dentist will advise you about the best way to clean your dentures depending on what type of false teeth you have. You can use cleaning solutions specific to dentures to help clean them effectively.
To increase the lifespan of your false teeth, be careful when handling them. Soaking your dentures overnight can prevent them from drying out, but make sure you rinse them under water before you put them back in place. Your dentist may also advise you to avoid certain foods. Avoid drinking beverages that are hot enough to warp the dentures. It may also be a good idea to avoid foods that are tough like hard candy or chewy like gum.
When you first get false teeth, especially immediate temporary dentures, you may notice an increase in saliva. This is normal and subsides as your mouth gets used to the new addition.
Some people also experience temporary nausea. You may have difficulty eating at first while getting used to your new dentures.
Start with soft and liquid foods to get accustomed to them. Similarly, you may struggle to speak as you used to before getting dentures. This gets easier as you get used to your dentures.

If you have a strong, or bad, gag reflex and have avoided the dentist we have ways to help you relax during your appointment and alleviate some of the gag reflex issues you may have. If you are considering dentures we want to let you know that in many patients, dentures trigger the gag reflex. Neglecting your teeth and not having regular dental examinations, check-ups and cleanings will also cost you more in the long run.
They feel like they are going to throw up every time they put their dentures in, so they avoid wearing them. This means they probably also avoid eating, talking and even going out with friends and family.
Patients with bad gag reflexes find they do better with dental implants because a dental implant is a replacement for a natural tooth and acts like a natural tooth. Dental implants do not trigger gag reflexes. We want you to know that having a full set of dentures is NOT at all like having a full set of natural teeth. When you have a full set of dentures, many people find they can barely chew their favorite foods.
Your tongue or denture adhesive might help keep them in place, but it is not likely. From the moment you lose your natural teeth or have them extracted, your face begins to age. Wearing dentures does nothing to help preserve the bone in your jaw. Wearing dentures might help your face retain its appearance, for a short time. Within the first few months of wearing dentures your face will appear to have aged several years. This rapid deterioration will continue even if you are diligent in wearing your dentures.
When you wear dentures, instead of having dental implants placed, you will experience a rapid aging of your face. Since gums can shrink and change after teeth are extracted, several adjustments will need to be made to ensure the best fit, which means repeated visits to your dentist for a period of time.
Full dentures are the variety we're most familiar with. You can only wear conventional dentures once your gums have healed after extractions. It takes about two months or more for your gums to heal enough to support conventional dentures. While we think of dentures requiring adhesive to wear, most modern dentures have integrated supports that allow you to wear them without adhesive.
These type of dentures are best for those who have lost all their top or bottom teeth. You don't necessarily have to resort to dentures to correct missing teeth. Dental implants are becoming more common and affordable for patients with failing teeth.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are firmly fixed in your bone, and they are a permanent fix for missing teeth. While they may be a better option for some patients, they are more expensive than any denture option. Some patients may not have enough bone strength to support dental implants, which makes dentures the best course of treatment.
Now that we've covered all the reasons or signs you might need dentures, it is time to focus on the positives. Dentures can be extremely helpful for patients in a variety of ways. The most immediate is an increased confidence when they smile and better speech when they talk.
Aside from increased confidence, dentures provide a healthier shape for your face. When patients lose their teeth, their face can become saggy and look older. However dentures can retain the healthy shape of the face, ensuring that the patient looks normal and even younger than they looked before dentures.
The thought of dentures can be a scary one, but it is comforting to know you have several treatment options.
