Adjusting to New Dentures

The first few weeks with new dentures take some getting used to, and that is normal rather than a sign anything is wrong. Knowing what to expect makes the adjustment much easier.

About This Service

The First Few Weeks

Almost everyone experiences some of the following at first, and almost all of it settles:

  • A bulky feeling in the mouth
  • Increased saliva for the first week or two
  • Slight lisping until your tongue adapts
  • Minor sore spots where the denture rubs
  • Difficulty with tougher foods

About This Service

When to Come Back In

Small adjustments in the early weeks are part of the process, not a problem. Come back if:

  • A sore spot is not settling after a few days
  • The denture clicks, slips, or feels loose
  • Chewing is still difficult after a few weeks
  • Anything is rubbing hard enough to break the skin
  • Something has cracked or chipped

Do not try to file or adjust a denture yourself, and do not rely on adhesive to fix a fit problem. Both tend to make the underlying issue worse.

Why Perler Dental

A Different Kind of Practice

A sore spot is a five-minute adjustment, not something to put up with.

 

🏆

Specialist Oversight

Adjustments are done by the specialist who made the denture, so the change is based on how it was designed rather than guesswork.
