​
7. What if my dentures are uncomfortable or loose?
We offer adjustments and relines to improve comfort and fit. It’s common for dentures to need fine-tuning, especially in the early stages.
​
8. How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last 5–8 years. Over time, changes in your mouth may require relines or replacements for a proper fit.
​
9. Do you offer flexible denture options?
Yes, we offer flexible nylon partial dentures, which are lightweight, comfortable, and ideal for some patients with specific needs.
​
10. How do I care for my dentures?
We will provide you with clear instructions when you receive your denture. In general, you should:
-
Clean your dentures daily with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser. It is best to avoid using toothpaste as it is quite abrasive on your denture. Instead, liquid hand soap or dishwashing liquid is all that is needed for everyday cleaning. We also offer professional cleaning to keep your dentures sparkling clean!
-
Store them in water when not in use
-
Avoid using hot water, which may warp the material
