How long will it take to get used to your new dentures in GA?
Losing your teeth will bring many changes to your life, and even when using the highest quality restorations to replace your missing teeth, these changes will take some time to adjust to. Dentures are a tried and true affordable option for replacing lost teeth, but they are quite a change from your natural teeth. If you are wondering how long it will take to get used to new dentures if you choose this restoration from a dentist in Marietta, GA, you must consider a few things.
First, the amount of time it will take to adjust to your dentures will be affected by the type of denture you get. There are two main types of dentures, partial and full dentures. Partial dentures only replace a few teeth, while full dentures replace an entire dental arch. They may be either traditionally fitted to your mouth and set in place with adhesives or anchored in place by implants. You may also receive immediate dentures, which are only temporary and might need to be adjusted many times in order to fit properly before your final denture is created. Depending on the type of denture you choose, you may find it less difficult to adjust to using dentures.
Ultimately, the amount of time it will take to adjust to using dentures will vary from person to person. As with most things, the younger you are, the more quickly your mouth with adapt to the new system, but most people find that it takes a couple of months before they feel comfortable with their dentures. At first, you can expect some irritation of the gums and it may feel awkward to eat and even to speak. Don’t give up though! If you give yourself time, you may find that you can eat and speak just like you used to and your dentures will not irritate your mouth for long.
