What are dentures made of?


Dentures are typically made from a combination of acrylic resin, metal, and sometimes porcelain. The base of the denture is usually made from acrylic resin to match the color of your gums, while the teeth can be made from acrylic or porcelain.

How long does it take to get used to dentures?


It typically takes a few weeks to a few months to adjust to wearing dentures. You may experience some initial discomfort or difficulty speaking and eating, but this usually improves as you become accustomed to the dentures.

Can dentures be repaired?


Yes, dentures can be repaired if they become damaged or if there are issues with the fit. Do not attempt to fix them yourself. Instead, visit your dentist for professional repairs.

How often should I replace my dentures?


Dentures typically need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years, although they may need adjustments or relining sooner due to changes in your mouth and jawbone over time.

. Can I sleep with my dentures in?


It’s generally recommended to remove your dentures while you sleep to allow your gums to rest and prevent potential issues like infections or sore spots. Follow your dentist’s advice on denture care and wearing schedules.

How much do dentures cost?


The cost of dentures varies based on factors like materials used, the complexity of the fitting process, and your location. Your dentist can provide a detailed estimate and discuss payment options.
