Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures from DDS of Mesquite

Considering dentures but have questions? You’re not alone. At DDS Dentures + Implant Solutions, we help patients understand dentures, their benefits, and care tips. This guide covers the top 5 FAQs to help you decide.

What Are Dentures? 

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. There are two main types of dentures:

• Complete Dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

• Partial Dentures are used when some natural teeth remain and fill gaps left by missing teeth. 

At DDS Dentures + Implant Solutions, we provide custom-fit dentures to ensure comfort and functionality. Our in-house dental lab makes the process fast and efficient, so you can regain your smile quickly. 

How Do I Take Care of My Dentures? 

Proper denture care is essential to maintain their function and longevity. Here are some simple but effective tips:

• Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner; avoid regular toothpaste. 

• Rinse after meals to stay fresh. 

• Soak in denture solution when not in use to prevent drying or warping. 

• Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.

With proper care, dentures can last several years while maintaining their fit and appearance. 

Are Dentures Uncomfortable? 

Dentures are made to fit comfortably, but some adjustment is normal at first. Speaking and eating may feel different but usually improve with time.. 

To enhance the fit and comfort of your dentures:

• Ensure they are properly aligned and fitted by your dentist.

• Use denture adhesive to improve stability (if needed).

• Practice speaking slowly and consuming soft foods early on. 

At DDS Dentures + Implant Solutions, our expert team ensures your dentures are custom-made for a precise and comfortable fit. 

How Long Will My Dentures Last? 

Dentures usually last 5-7 years, but their lifespan depends on care, oral health, and changes in your gums and jaw. Over time, they may fit less snugly, requiring adjustments, repairs, or replacements from your dentist.
