Your Comprehensive Guide to Complete Dentures in Mississauga, Ontario
Dentures, or artificial teeth, are a common restoration for patients missing one or more teeth in the smile. With the help of Dr. Jameela Jifri and her associates at Huron Dental Center in Mississauga, Ontario, you can educate yourself further on your options for replacing teeth. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about complete dentures.
What exactly are complete dentures, and how do they work?
Complete dentures, or full dentures or artificial teeth, are removable dental appliances designed to replace all natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both. They are carefully crafted to fit snugly over your gums and are custom-made to look and feel as close to natural teeth as possible. They work by restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently, all while supporting the natural shape of your face.
How long does it usually take to get used to wearing dentures?
This varies from patient to patient. Some patients adjust in just a few days, while others may take a few weeks. During the adjustment period, it is perfectly normal to feel slight soreness or awkwardness when eating or speaking. Soon enough, wearing dentures will feel like second nature!
How do I take care of my new complete dentures?
Caring for dentures is relatively simple for most of our patients. Remove them every night and brush gently using a soft-bristle brush and denture cleanser. Avoid regular toothpaste, as it’s too abrasive. Rinse them thoroughly and then soak them overnight in a denture solution to keep them fresh and bacteria-free. Don’t forget to brush your gum tissues and tongue to combat unwanted bad breath.
How long do complete dentures last?
With proper care and maintenance every day, your complete dentures can last anywhere from five to ten years. However, your mouth naturally changes over time, so your dentures will require adjustments, relining, or replacements to ensure a perfect fit. Regular dental checkups ensure that your dentures are always working their best for you!
