What Are the Common Issues Faced by Full Cosmetically Designed Denture Wearers?
Full cosmetically designed dentures offer many benefits, but like any dental appliance, they may come with a few challenges. Understanding these issues can help you manage them more effectively.
Initial Adjustment Period
One of the most common issues faced by full cosmetically designed denture wearers is the adjustment period. When you first start wearing dentures, it can take time to get used to the new sensation of having a foreign object in your mouth. At Grant Foxwell Denture Clinic, we guide our patients through this process, reassuring them that mild discomfort or difficulty speaking and eating is normal during the initial weeks.
It can take a few days or even weeks to become fully comfortable with your dentures as your mouth adapts. During this time, you may experience soreness or feel as though the dentures are too tight or loose. Regular check-ups are essential to ensure the fit is optimal and any discomfort is addressed promptly, so you can adjust to your new dentures more easily.
Maintenance and Wear Over Time
Another common issue with full cosmetically designed dentures is the natural wear and tear that occurs over time. While these dentures are made from durable materials, they can still experience damage, discolouration, or become loose as your mouth changes. The gums and jawbone can shrink over time, affecting how the dentures fit. At Grant Foxwell Denture Clinic, we recommend periodic check-ups to monitor the condition of your dentures and make any necessary adjustments. This ensures that your dentures continue to provide a secure and comfortable fit.
Additionally, keeping your dentures clean and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent staining and prolong the life of your dentures. Regular visits to our clinic for maintenance can address any issues early, helping you enjoy the benefits of full cosmetically designed dentures for years to come.
