What To Expect From Your Dentures

A good denture should fit snugly. Even if you have worn dentures before, it’s normal to take a few days or weeks to get used to new dentures. The denture specialist will advise you on how long to wear your dentures for each day.

At first, it’s normal:

to feel as if the denture is tight

gums may feel sore in places

to produce more saliva

may experience a slight gagging sensation in the back of the throat

for the denture to feel bulky, as if it is too big for the mouth

for speech to be affected or to sound a bit lispy

Most of these feelings will resolve by themselves within a few days or weeks, and you should find your plate becomes more and more comfortable.
