Although some people can wear dentures without a single complaint, most denture wearers feel some discomfort. The hard denture can compress the gums and in some cases, chewing can cause the denture wearer a great deal of pain. Even slight shifts back and forth can eventually translate into serious gum problems.
The ever-changing conditions in the mouth can make denture fit worse over time and increase discomfort. In addition, denture wearers can also experience speech impediments. Flexible dentures help prevent many of the problems that regular dentures cause. However, soft or flexible dentures can eliminate the problems associated with hard liners.
Made of softer material than regular dentures, soft dentures require no adhesives, will adjust to irregularities in your mouth and stay in place even under hard chewing conditions. These specialized dentures could be the best option for you. At Dr. Gowds Dental Hospitals, we can make and fit flexible dentures based on the requirement of the patient. Each flexible denture is tailor-made to fit seamlessly inside the patient’s mouth, offering extreme comfort and durability.
Flexible dentures are made of a softer material, need no metal clasps and grip the gums more comfortably, so many patients find them easier to wear. Your dentist will advise which type suits your mouth.
Most people take a few weeks. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and read aloud to get used to speaking with them. Sore spots can be adjusted by your dentist.
It is usually best to take them out at night so your gums can rest. Clean them and keep them in water or a denture-soaking solution so they do not dry out.
The jawbone slowly shrinks once teeth are lost, so dentures can lose their fit. Relining or replacing them restores the fit, and implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place.
Yes. Implants can hold a fixed set of teeth or anchor a removable denture so it does not move. See our full mouth dental implants guide.
