In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Modern dentures are far more comfortable and natural-looking than those of previous generations. Options include conventional full dentures (placed after healing from extractions), immediate dentures (placed the same day as extractions), partial dentures (filling gaps while preserving remaining natural teeth), and implant-supported overdentures (snapping onto implants for greater stability). Getting used to new dentures takes time, and adjustments are common in the first few weeks. Proper care includes daily cleaning, overnight soaking, and regular dental check-ups.
