Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! For gaps caused by one to three missing teeth, dental bridges are an excellent choice, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth for a complete smile. For more extensive replacements, dental implants represent a state-of-the-art solution capable of restoring any number of missing teeth. While implants do require a higher initial investment and specific health qualifications for candidacy, they provide unmatched durability and a natural look and feel.
The durability of your dentures with regular care and upkeep can range from 5 to 10 years. However, it’s not just about the dentures’ endurance; the natural evolution of your oral landscape plays a significant role too.
While it is technically possible to wear your dentures to sleep, it is not recommended. For optimal oral health and denture care, it’s best to remove them at night. This practice allows you to thoroughly clean your mouth, gums, and any natural teeth, while also giving your gums and jaw the essential break they need.
Determining the correct fit of your dentures is crucial for comfort and functionality. Upper dentures should create a secure suction with your gums, whereas lower dentures are designed to rest gently above the gums yet remain firmly in position. For those with partial dentures, they should align neatly with your natural teeth, minimizing movement. If you’re questioning the fit of your denture, you are welcome to book an appointment so we can check your fit and make adjustments as needed.
Adjusting to new dentures involves a brief period of adaptation, where starting with softer foods is advisable. Initial wear may bring about slight irritation as your mouth adjusts to your new set of teeth. Gradually, as comfort with your dentures increases, you’ll be able to reintroduce more complex foods into your meals. It’s beneficial to begin eating with cutlery to assist in breaking down food, and to chew slowly with the teeth at the back of your mouth to ease into the new experience. A minimal amount of denture adhesive might be useful for securing your dentures during this phase.
Partial dentures are removable devices that replace one or several missing teeth and are supported by the surrounding gums and remaining teeth. They offer flexibility and ease of cleaning but require daily removal and maintenance. In contrast, bridges are fixed dental restorations that ‘bridge’ the gap created by missing teeth. They are anchored onto adjacent teeth or implants and offer a permanent, non-removable solution.
