Without natural teeth, your jawbone is likely to shrink over time. Though each person and their mouth are unique, dentures typically need to be replaced every five to seven years. It is important to get your annual checkup and always assess and evaluate with your dentist the suggestions for denture care, hygiene and replacement or repairs.

Daily cleaning and diligent care of a new denture are a key step in maintaining good dental health. Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and cleaning agent such as soap and water or using products made specifically to clean dentures. Make sure you brush both the inside and outside of your denture as this helps eliminate any harmful bacteria or buildup. Soak your dentures in water or a denture cleaning agent when you take them out at night. Be sure to hold your dentures over a sink filled with water or cushioned with a soft cloth or towel when cleaning them as this will prevent breakage if you accidentally drop them.

It’s common for new dentures to take some getting used to. New dentures can feel uncomfortable at first, and new denture wearers can expect a time of them feeling strange or bulky. Often there is a feeling of fullness with the cheeks and lips, as well as other symptoms such as slurred speech, excessive salivation, funny or diminished taste, and even gagging. In time, these sensations subside, and you will feel more comfortable.

It is important to heed the suggestions from your dental team for a more comfortable first-time experience. Patience and time are required on your part. For example, learning to chew with new dentures means starting with soft foods and gradually introducing more difficult substances. Chewing on both sides of your mouth at the same time will help stabilize your new teeth. Be sure to avoid biting into foods with your front teeth as it may dislodge your dentures. Lower dentures are more difficult to get used to as they can ‘float’ on your lower gums and not have the suction an upper denture provides. Tips such as trying to rest your tongue against the inside, front edge of the lower dentures can help hold it in place.

With time and patience, you will learn good tongue and lip control. Until then, adhesives can be used. Wearing your dentures all the time (even at night) will help you adapt to them more quickly. After you're used to them, it is advisable to take them out at night.

It is common to feel sore spots on your gums as you adjust to your new dentures. If you develop sore spots or other symptoms, please contact your dental team at Restore and let us know about your difficulty so we can assess and provide any adjustments needed to your new dentures.

Yes! During the initial process of receiving your new dentures, adjustments are available. These adjustments help alleviate any soreness due to ‘high spots’ where the denture is resting upon the gum and tissue. Additionally, a reline can provide new impressions and needed solutions to any loose-fitting denture. Repairs are made in our onsite lab.

Simple X-rays are usually taken first, especially if you’re suffering from tooth pain or mouth discomfort. After reviewing those X-rays, your Restore dentist will consult with you about a recommended course of treatment. Tooth extractions may be required before the placement of new dentures. If this is needed, temporary dentures called ‘immediate dentures’ are made available for the sake of appearance and functionality. Your immediate dentures also help with comfort, confidence, and the healing process of your gums- which takes time. Remember, after extractions, the healing process can often take months.

During healing, it is common for the tissue of the gum area to change and even shrink, resulting in space between the gum tissue and the denture. The immediate denture fit may change and a reline, adjustment o new denture is needed throughout this healing process.

The Restore team can explain the details to a new denture wearer and offer the best solutions for your needs.

Implants cost more than dentures alone, but they represent an investment in the long-term health of your jawbone and facial structure, as well as the long-term comfort and confidence in your eating, smiling, interacting and quality of life.

Bone loss begins the moment you lose a natural tooth; and after one year, your jawbone can recede almost one quarter of an inch. Without the support of your teeth and facial bone structure, your face begins to look prematurely aged. Tooth replacement with dental implants helps prevent bone loss and allows you to maintain a more youthful and healthier appearance.

Dentures can become loose and ‘float’ on your gums. Denture wearers often experience challenges while eating, talking and interacting with others. Many find their dentures to be less secure and predictable than their natural teeth.

Denture implants help with all the above — from eating and speaking more confidently and looking and feeling more natural. Implants replace tooth roots in the jawbone, and the bone then stays healthier and fuller, and the facial structure stays more intact over time, stopping the process of premature aging.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone. They act much like the roots of your natural teeth and can secure and stabilize a single crown, a bridge or a full arch denture, as well as higher-end restoration.
