Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore your smile. Replacing missing teeth enhances your function of chewing food and speaking. After loss of all teeth the muscles of the face sag and makes aging more prominent. Dentures can actually give you a facelift and make you look 10-20 years younger. Ask your Prosthodontist to give you multiple options of dentures which replicates your natural teeth and even gums. At Smile Lounge, we provide you with life like appearance of your artificial teeth.
Like your teeth, your dentures should be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque. Brushing also can help keep the teeth from staining.
New dentures may feel awkward for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them. The dentures may feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. It is not unusual to experience minor irritation or soreness. You may find that saliva flow temporarily increases. As your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures, these problems should go away. Follow-up appointments with the dentist are generally needed after a denture is inserted so the fit can be checked and adjusted. If any problem persists, particularly irritation or soreness, be sure to consult your dentist.
Even if you wear full dentures, you still have to practice good dental hygiene. Brush your gums, tongue and roof of your mouth every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.
