FAQs
Most people need 2-4 weeks to adjust to their new dentures. During this period, you might experience:
- Increased saliva flow
- Minor irritation or sore spots
- Difficulty with certain foods
- Temporary changes in speech
We provide detailed instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to make adjustments as needed. With modern denture materials and proper fit, the adjustment period is typically much shorter and more comfortable than in the past.
With proper care, dentures typically last:
- 5-7 years for standard acrylic dentures
- 7-10 years for premium quality dentures
- 10+ years for implant-supported dentures
Over time, your mouth naturally changes shape due to bone loss where teeth are missing. This means even well-fitting dentures may need adjustment or replacement after several years. We recommend annual check-ups to ensure your dentures continue to fit properly and function well.
Proper denture care is essential for longevity and oral health:
- Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not toothpaste)
- Soak dentures in water or denture solution when not worn
- Handle carefully to avoid dropping and damaging them
- Remove dentures at night to give your gums a rest
- Clean your mouth daily, including gums, tongue, and palate
- Schedule regular dental check-ups for professional cleaning and examination
We provide all new denture patients with a complete care kit and instructions.
We offer several payment options to make dentures more accessible:
- We accept cash, most major debit and credit cards (excluding American Express), and bank transfers
- Interest-free payment plans for 6-12 months via our dental finance partners
- Dental insurance may cover a portion of denture costs
- Discounts for seniors and multiple denture cases
During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with costs and help you choose the best payment option for your situation.
