What to expect when considering dentures
How long will dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last 5 years or more. It is recommend that you have them evaluated every 5 years to make sure they’re still strong and functional and to see if you need any adjustments or replacements.
Will dentures affect my appearance?
Forever Dental dentures are custom-crafted to look and feel like your natural smile. At the beginning of the denture process, there is a “try-in” visit. Your teeth will be positioned in wax so you and your dentist can see how your dentures will look and feel. This is a great opportunity to discuss how they look and make adjustments if needed. Many patients notice that once they get dentures, the additional support provides them with a rejuvenated look. Learn more about when to get dentures here.
How will dentures affect my eating?
Getting used to dentures takes time and patience. But with a little time and practice, it will become second nature. Your Forever Dental dentist will support you through any challenges. They can also offer advice as you get used to eating with your new dentures.
How quickly will I adjust to dentures?
While it may take some time to get used to dentures, you should adjust smoothly with practice. Initially, you may notice you’re producing more saliva, the fit may feel strange, and your speech may be affected. This is a normal acclimation period—once your facial muscles and your mouth adapt, your dentures should feel comfortable.

Can dentures be worn while sleeping?
It is recommend you remove your dentures at night to keep gums healthy. This will help you prevent any inflammation or bacterial growth. It’s important to know the best ways to improve your oral hygiene with dentures. Refer to our detailed cleaning guide for how to clean dentures.
Living with dentures
How should I clean my dentures?
It’s best to clean your dentures over the sink or a damp towel to avoid breaking them if they fall. Once you’re set up, hold them gently between your thumb and fingers and brush them using a denture brush and denture cleaner. You should be able to purchase these items at your local pharmacy. Use only lukewarm water and avoid gritty pastes or powders. We also recommend you clean your dentures after every meal to ensure proper care and promote their longevity.
Will dentures affect my speech?
Your speech may be impacted at first, but don’t worry. Once your mouth adjusts, this should subside. Reading aloud is an excellent exercise for helping to regain your normal speech. For more tips on how to get used to living with dentures, read our guide here.
Can I use store-bought liners?
If you suspect that your dentures need adjustments, bring them in to your dentist right away so they can reline your dentures. Never attempt to reline them yourself. You can apply adhesives for improved comfort. However, if you have any concerns or questions, consult with your Forever Dental care team.
