Gaps in your smile don\u2019t just make your self-esteem spiral, but they can also be the root cause of oral health issues and make it difficult to copmlete basic daily functions like chewing and speaking. Getting dentures in San Antonio can give you a realistic-looking smile while improving your quality of life. Read on to learn about the process of\u00a0getting fitted for your restoration and how you can quickly adjust to them.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Process of Getting Dentures<\/h2>\n<p>The process of getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laithdentistry.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a> varies from patient to patient, but typically during the first appointment, you\u2019ll share any concerns and your oral and medical health information with your dentist in San Antonio. After that, they\u2019ll determine if any preparatory procedures like tooth extractions are needed and take impressions of your mouth to make casts and molds that will be used to\u00a0create your custom-made restorations.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Adjusting to Your New Dentures<\/h2>\n<p>Transitioning from the feeling of your mouth with gaps to your new dentures can seem like a huge step, but after any necessary adjustment and with a little bit of time, they\u2019ll begin to feel more natural. Some ways you can more easily make the\u00a0transition are to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep wearing your dentures while you\u2019re adapting.<\/li>\n<li>Practice eating different kinds of\u00a0food. Be sure to avoid hard and sticky foods and chew slowly.<\/li>\n<li>Practice talking by reading out loud.<\/li>\n<li>Clean your dentures every day.<\/li>\n<li>Take your dentures out at bedtime to give your gums a rest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Transitioning into wearing your dentures can feel overwhelmingly different for the first couple of days, so if you have any questions or concerns, be sure to contact your dentist. Also, you may experience increased salivation, sore gums, and a feeling like your restorations are too large. Keep in mind, these are all typical occurrences when you begin wearing your dentures, so don\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n<h2>Caring for Your Restorations<\/h2>\n<p>Taking care of your dentures doesn\u2019t just prevent oral health problems, it will also ensure that they\u2019re long-lasting. Here are some tips on keeping them clean, stain-free, and in great condition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take out and rinse your dentures after each time you eat.<\/li>\n<li>Brush your dentures every day with a soft-bristled brush and special denture cleaner.<\/li>\n<li>Soak your dentures overnight to help them keep their shape.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse your dentures before each time you put them back in your mouth, even after soaking them.<\/li>\n<li>Visit your dentist every six months.<\/li>\n<li>If they feel loose, visit your dentist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember to avoid abrasive cleaning products, whitening toothpaste, and products that contain bleach when you\u2019re cleaning your restorations. When you properly care for your dentures from the start, you\u2019ll be able to establish a new daily routine. If you have any\u00a0questions about the fit or feeling of them, don\u2019t hesitate to\u00a0contact your dentist!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Racha Kadamani has been restoring smiles for nearly two decades.
