FAQ
Complete Dentures are removable prosthetics that fit over the gums, while dental implants are permanent fixtures surgically placed into the jawbone. Implants are more stable and offer a permanent solution, but the procedure involves surgery and can be more costly. Basically, dentures are less invasive and can be adjusted or replaced as needed.
Complete Dentures can be adjusted if they become loose over time. This is a common occurrence, as the shape of the jawbone and gums can change. Adjustments can be made by your dentist to ensure a proper fit and comfort.
Complete Dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft brush and a denture cleaner to remove food residue and plaque. Also, do not use regular toothpaste, as it can be abrasive. Additionally, it’s important to soak dentures overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them hydrated and prevent warping.
Initially, Complete Dentures might slightly alter your sense of taste due to the prosthetic material in your mouth. However, most people adapt over time, and any changes in taste perception are typically temporary.
While Complete Dentures allows for eating a wide range of foods, you may need to avoid very hard or sticky foods initially as you adjust to them. Soft and well-cooked foods are recommended at first. But with time, you should be able to enjoy most foods with proper denture care and adjustment.
A regular check-up will help you keep your Complete Dentures in good condition and fit properly. Generally, dentists recommend visiting every 6 to 12 months for routine exams and adjustments.
