If you want to know if your dentures will feel normal, the answer is yes. You may have recently gotten the teeth, or perhaps you are considering getting them.

You might want to know what to expect. The good news is that today’s prosthetics feel more natural than ever, and you can get accustomed to them quickly.

After getting dentures

After the patient has the false teeth designed, the dentist can refine and adjust the fit correctly. That way, the patient will be as comfortable as possible. Whether it is a partial or a full denture, patients will get a good fit with the right technology. The thought that false teeth are uncomfortable is a common myth, and it is from the past.

Before, dentures could cause issues such as rubbing and sores on the gums. However, today, the teeth are much more comfortable to wear. Plus, it is easy to wear and get used to them. With tools like denture adhesive, patients can easily adhere the teeth to the gums.

Keeping the teeth in place

One of the most common denture issues is having them in place during meals and speaking. The good news is that there are several options for keeping the teeth in place. That allows any patient to achieve the right fit. For instance, the lower denture can stay in place using suction force.

Regular dental visits are essential for those with dentures. The dentist can look at the teeth and see if they still fit. The jawbone may change over time, which means the patient might need to have some adjustments made. At some point, the patient might need to have the teeth replaced because the restorations do not last forever.

Getting used to the teeth

Patients can practice speaking to get used to the teeth faster. The more the patient talks and chews, the easier these tasks will become. One method of getting used to the feeling of the teeth is to practice reading a book. Patients should do that slowly and focus on pronouncing each word naturally. The goal is to train the mouth and brain to speak as usual. Doing that in front of a mirror allows a patient to see how the mouth forms each word.

Will the false teeth stay in place?

One reason dentures often do not feel normal is that the teeth sometimes shift. The dentist can check the teeth to see if there is a good fit. If not, it is possible to make some adjustments to them. Many patients feel more self-esteem when using a denture adhesive, which anchors the teeth in place better. When the teeth do not move, it is easier for them to feel normal.
