The Benefits of Dentures

Restored Appearance and Confidence

Dentures can dramatically improve your smile and facial appearance. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, giving you a complete and natural-looking smile. With dentures, you can once again feel confident and proud of your teeth.

Improved Speech and Eating

Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak clearly and chew food properly. Dentures restore your ability to pronounce words correctly and enjoy a wide variety of foods. You can confidently socialize, speak, and eat without worrying about your teeth.

Enhanced Oral Health

Dentures not only replace missing teeth but also support the surrounding oral structures. They prevent the remaining teeth from shifting and help maintain the shape of your face. By improving your oral health, dentures contribute to your overall well-being.

Do I have to wear my dentures all day?

No, you don't have to wear your dentures all day. Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth and improve the function and appearance of your mouth. However, it's important to give your gums and underlying bone structure a rest. Most dentists recommend removing dentures for at least 6-8 hours daily, preferably at night, to allow your oral tissues to recover. This break helps prevent gum irritation and other potential problems. It's also essential to clean your dentures daily to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria. If you experience discomfort, sore spots, or changes in fit, it's crucial to visit your dentist for adjustments.
