What Should I Expect During a Denture Fitting?

Your journey to a perfect smile begins with a thorough consultation. During this appointment, our team will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to recommend the best denture option for you. The process includes:

• Taking precise impressions of your gums and jaw to ensure a comfortable fit.
• Creating custom dentures tailored to your unique needs.
• Making adjustments during follow-up appointments to guarantee comfort and function.

How Do I Care for My Dentures?

• Clean daily: Use a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to gently brush your dentures each day.
• Soak overnight: Keep your dentures in a denture solution while you sleep to maintain their shape and cleanliness.
• Rinse before wearing: Always rinse dentures before placing them in your mouth to remove any cleaning solution residue.
• Regular check-ups: Schedule routine visits to our office for check-ups and adjustments to ensure your dentures continue to fit well.

Can Dentures Be Repaired?

Accidents happen, and dentures can sometimes become damaged or worn over time. At Hearthside Dentistry, we offer denture repair services to keep your smile in top shape. Whether your dentures are cracked, loose, or causing discomfort, our team is here to provide fast and effective repairs. Don’t hesitate to call us at (303) 280-2285 for quick, reliable repairs to restore comfort and function.

How Often Should I Have My Dentures Adjusted?

To ensure that your dentures continue to fit properly and comfortably, we recommend coming in for a check-up every six months to a year. Regular adjustments are important as your mouth changes over time to keep your dentures fitting well and functioning as they should.

What Are the Signs That I Need New Dentures?

Dentures can wear out over time or become ill-fitting due to changes in your mouth. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time for new dentures:

• Persistent discomfort or irritation.
• Difficulty chewing or speaking.
• Loose or unstable dentures that no longer fit securely.

If you experience any of these issues, contact Hearthside Dentistry to explore your options for replacement dentures.

What Are the Benefits of Getting Dentures?

Choosing dentures at Hearthside Dentistry comes with a host of benefits, both functional and aesthetic. Our patients enjoy:

• The ability to chew and speak properly again.
• A natural-looking, confident smile.
• Support for facial muscles, preventing the “sunken” appearance caused by missing teeth.
• A cost-effective solution for tooth replacement that restores your quality of life.

Can I Eat Normally with Dentures?

Absolutely! While there is a short adjustment period, most patients quickly regain the ability to enjoy their favorite foods. We recommend starting with softer foods as you adapt to your new dentures. With time and practice, you’ll be able to eat a variety of foods comfortably and confidently.
