4. Is wearing dentures going to change my appearance?
Your facial profile can be restored with the appropriate type dentures. The loss of teeth can give one’s face a sunken-in or elderly appearance.
Dentures can assist support the facial muscles, particularly the lips and cheeks. However, dentures cannot totally replace the volume that is lost due to tooth loss and bone resorption.
Make sure to give your denture specialist feedback while they are designing your dentures. Your denture specialist can use previous images of your smile to create a mould for your new teeth. Alternatively, you can bring your spouse or a friend to your try-in appointment to get a second set of eyes.
5. How long does it take to get full dentures?
Depending on your preferences and denture selection, it could take several weeks to complete. Getting a denture to fit properly is generally a relatively long process that requires numerous appointments.
If you recently had teeth pulled, it could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months for you to fully recover. Following is a breakdown of what each appointment involves:
- Consultation. Your denture clinician will go over the procedure and fees with you and make sure you are a suitable candidate for a denture.
- Impressions. Impressions are taken to produce a cast of your mouth, which will be used to design and build the denture. To obtain the imprint of your mouth, either a classic putty impression or modern scanning technology is used. This visit may be divided into two appointments depending on the practitioner in order to construct personalised trays rather than using stock trays.
- Bite registration. A wax build-up is formed once your impressions are taken. This aids in the formation of a good bite and orientation. During this appointment, you will also select the colour, size, and shape of your prosthetic teeth.
- Try-in. This is a critical phase in the denture design phase. Your denture is still in wax at this time, but you can check the teeth, bite, and general feel. At this point, you can make changes until you’re satisfied with the appliance. It is then forwarded for final processing.
- Final fitting. Once your denture is processed, it is fitted and adjusted as needed. It’s possible that you’ll need to return for adjustments in the coming weeks if you have any sore spots.

7. Will dentures affect the way I eat and speak?
Eating with a new denture and prosthetic teeth may feel difficult at first. You will need some time to adapt to eating with your denture because it will alter the way you chew and taste.
Denture wearers often report that the acrylic base against the palate makes it difficult to feel the temperature of food and drink. Over time, you’ll develop a sense of control and learn which meals are okay for you to eat. Chewing in little chunks on both sides of your mouth is helpful. Begin with milder meals, then as you gain confidence, attempt chewing crunchy or harder foods.
Speaking may be challenging with new dentures because they are effectively a foreign object in your mouth. It takes some getting used to, just like braces. Getting the perfect sounds when speaking with your denture will require some time and practise, but once you’ve mastered that, it will seem completely natural.
