New Dentures
1. How long will it take to get used to my new dentures?
It usually takes a few weeks to get used to new dentures. You may feel slight discomfort or difficulty speaking and eating at first, but this improves as your mouth adjusts.
2. Will new dentures affect how I speak?
Yes, temporarily. You may notice changes in speech or a slight lisp, but practicing reading aloud and speaking slowly helps you adapt faster.
3. Can I eat normally with new dentures?
Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. As you get used to your dentures, you can gradually return to your regular diet.
4. How do I clean my new dentures?
Brush your dentures daily using a soft brush and denture cleaner. Soak them overnight in water or a denture solution to keep them clean and moist.
Repairs & Adjustments
1. When do I need a denture adjustment?
If your dentures feel loose, cause sore spots, or make it difficult to eat or speak, they likely need an adjustment.
2. How often should dentures be checked for adjustments?
It’s recommended to have your dentures checked at least once a year, or sooner if you notice discomfort or changes in fit.
3. Can I fix a broken denture at home?
No. DIY repairs can damage the denture permanently. Always visit a denture clinic for professional repairs.
Payment & Insurance
1. Do you accept dental insurance for dentures?
Yes, we accept most dental insurance plans. We can also help check your coverage and assist with claims.
2. What payment options are available for dentures?
We offer flexible payment options, including cash, credit/debit cards, and in some cases, payment plans.
