If you're considering getting dentures, you may wonder what to expect. First and foremost, it's essential to know that dentures are a very effective way to replace missing teeth. They can help restore your smile without impacting your eating and speaking abilities. The process of getting dentures usually starts with consulting our dentist. During this appointment, we will evaluate your oral health and determine whether or not dentures are the right solution for you. If they are, we will take impressions of your teeth and gums to create a custom-fit set of dentures. Once your dentures are ready, you will return for another appointment to have them fitted. This process usually takes a few weeks from start to finish. Feeling a bit uncomfortable when you first get your dentures is normal. They will take some time to get used to, but eventually, they feel like a natural part of your mouth. Follow all instructions from your dentist on how to care for and wear your new dentures. With proper care, they can last for many years!
