Dentures Q&A

What are dentures?

Dentures are oral prosthetics that replace missing teeth. They may replace a few missing teeth or all the missing teeth in the arch. Conventional dentures are removable, but other options are available so that they do not need to be removed.

How are dentures made?

Getting dentures takes several appointments over a period of weeks or months. After Dr. Dorfner determines the type of dentures that will most benefit you, she takes measurements of your jaw and impressions of your mouth. Then, Dr. Dorfner sends your impressions and measurements to a dental laboratory.

The technicians at the laboratory use your impressions to mold and cast a final version of your dentures. You then return to Dorfner Dental Studio and try them on. Dr. Dorfner makes adjustments as necessary, polishes your dentures, and provides care instructions.

What do new dentures feel like?

Wearing new dentures takes a bit of getting used to. During the first few weeks, it’s normal for them to move around. Fortunately, the muscles in your cheeks and tongue will adjust over time. You might also experience mild discomfort or increased saliva production, but these issues will subside quickly.

Do I need to clean my dentures?

Yes. Dentures are like your teeth in that they collect food particles, saliva, and bacteria. To prevent buildup, Dr. Dorfner recommends brushing your dentures twice daily and soaking them in an approved denture solution overnight. 

If you have implant-retained dentures, brush them twice daily and visit Dorfner Dental Studio once every six months for an oral exam and professional teeth cleaning.
