Dentures are custom-made to fit the individual, designed to look completely natural and it should not be possible for anyone else to detect that you are wearing them.

Dentures tend to feel a little strange at first and you may find that you produce more saliva than normal. Talking, eating and smiling requires some different muscle movements that need to be learned. After a short while manipulation of the dentures will become natural.

Even if you have no natural teeth it is still important to visit the dentist regularly. We check the gums and lining of the mouth for health. Bone continues to be lost underneath dentures long after teeth have been removed, this happens faster if the dentures are worn and have a bad bite.

Changes to the appearance of your face and muscle control of your dentures will change gradually over time if the dentures are not adjusted. Dentures are made of a soft acrylic material, which inevitably deteriorates over time. Also increased porosity of the acrylic encourages accumulation of bacteria in the denture that can make the mouth sore and uncomfortable.
