Many patients ask about the cost of dentures, often prioritizing the expense over the process itself. While cost is important, our primary focus is ensuring your denture fits well, allowing you to eat, speak, and live comfortably.

We understand that there are times when dentures may cause discomfort, especially if your health changes. Factors such as new medications, weight fluctuations, or conditions like cancer can affect the fit of your dentures. It’s normal to need adjustments, and we encourage you to visit us if you experience sore spots or discomfort. Our goal is to support you through these changes and ensure your dentures are as comfortable and functional as possible.

After receiving your dentures, a typical adjustment and healing period of three to four months is necessary. During this time, your body heals, and your bone adjusts, which may require several visits to achieve the best fit. Once this process is complete, your dentures will fit securely, allowing you to go about your life confidently.

Proper gum care is essential for wearing dentures. Some people mistakenly believe that once their natural teeth are gone, oral care is no longer necessary. Healthy gums are critical for denture support and overall oral health. We will provide you with dental tools, mouth rinses, and guidance to help you maintain your gums and clean your dentures effectively. This care is key to ensuring long-term comfort and success with your dentures. Our team is here to assist you every step of the way.
