What\u2019s a Denture?<\/span><\/h3>\n

In some form or other, dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for hundreds of years. Of course, today\u2019s dentures are better than ever. A set of prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base, the denture can be used in the upper or lower jaw. <\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>full denture<\/b> replaces a complete arch of missing teeth, while the <\/span>partial denture<\/b> takes the place of several missing teeth when one or more healthy teeth remain in the gum line. When not supported by dental implants, a full denture is held in place using suction or with the help of a denture adhesive. A partial denture uses clips and brackets for stability. <\/span><\/p>\n

Living With Dentures Is Easier Than You Think<\/span><\/h3>\n

After you have adjusted to your new teeth, living with your denture is not so different from what you are already used to. Pretty soon you will be back to eating all of your favorite foods and speaking just like you\u2019re used to — or better. <\/span><\/p>\n

To speed up the adjustment phase with your denture, cut your food into smaller pieces until you are used to eating as normal. You can try reading aloud to yourself, too, to adjust to speaking with your denture. Most importantly, don\u2019t give up on your denture! Keep wearing it as directed and you will speed through the adjustment phase. <\/span><\/p>\n
