Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get used to partial dentures?

Adjusting to partial dentures can take a few weeks as your mouth adapts to the new appliance. During this time, it’s common to experience slight discomfort, increased saliva production or changes in speech. Eating softer foods and practicing speaking aloud can help speed up the adjustment process.

Over time, most people find that their partial dentures feel natural and comfortable, allowing them to enjoy normal activities like eating and speaking without difficulty. Regular follow-ups with your dental professional help ensure that the fit remains comfortable during this transition period. We are here to help with any issues you may have adjusting to your new dentures.
How are partial dentures different from full dentures?

Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth while leaving your remaining natural teeth intact. They use your existing teeth and gums as support, whereas full dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.

Partial dentures typically have metal or acrylic clasps that help secure them to your natural teeth, providing stability. This type of denture helps maintain your remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting out of place, which can occur when gaps are left untreated.
What is the best material for partial dentures?

The best material for partial dentures depends on your specific needs and preferences. Cobalt chrome is strong and durable, making it a long-lasting choice for those seeking stability and strength. Valplast is flexible and may be preferred by patients who want a more flexible option, while acrylic is often used for temporary or immediate dentures due to its affordability and ease of adjustment.
