How long do standard dentures last?

Like any denture solution, standard dentures will wear out over time and need to be replaced. Standard dentures are made to last anywhere from 5 to 7 years. You can get the most out of your dentures by practicing proper oral care and cleaning your dentures daily. Seeing your denturist for regular checkups and maintenance is also important for getting the longest possible life from your standard dentures.

Can I wear standard dentures 24/7?

It is not recommended to wear standard dentures all the time. Not taking the dentures out deprives your gums of needed rest. This can speed up bone loss in the jaw, causing the dentures to not fit properly sooner than if the gums had been given rest. The gums and underside of the dentures need to be cleaned on a daily basis as well. Food and bacteria can get trapped between the gums and dentures causing inflammation and gum disease. It is recommended to take out your dentures while you sleep.

Should standard dentures be stored wet or dry?

When you aren’t wearing dentures, they should be stored in a way that they are kept wet. Place them in lukewarm water, or a specialized denture cleansing solution. If the dentures are allowed to dry out, they could lose their shape and not fit properly when you put them back in your mouth.

Can you use a regular toothbrush to clean dentures?

Do not use a regular toothbrush to clean your dentures. The bristles are too hard and can scratch and damage the teeth of the dentures. Use a specially designed denture toothbrush with soft bristles instead.

Can I eat normally with standard dentures?

When you first get standard dentures, you will have to make some adjustments to what you eat until you can get used to the feel of eating with them. At first, you will want to avoid hard and sticky foods as they can cause discomfort to the gums if they haven’t adjusted to the dentures. As you adjust to your new dentures, you can slowly incorporate some of these foods back into your diet, but be careful and pay extra attention to how your gums feel when you eat these foods to help you find the best way to eat with your dentures. One thing you should always avoid when you have dentures is chewing gum. Gum can stick to the acrylic material of the denture, and eventually harden and cause discolouration. In the worst-case scenario, gum can break a seal on the dentures, causing parts of them to become loose and not fit in your mouth properly.

What Are Standard Dentures?

These are the traditional dentures, time-tested and proven for performance.

Standard dentures are the more traditional and commonly worn type of denture. At the Belleville Denture Clinic, it is extremely important to our team that we personalize our standard dentures to fit each individual’s unique smile! This is why we always ensure that we spend the appropriate time understanding your needs before the design process even begins. We also design our standard dentures using high quality materials so that our patients receive the best possible fit and overall esthetic result. In order to achieve these great results, we use a two-stage impression procedure and allow you to ‘try-in’ the dentures before they are done. This enables you to take pictures of the design and show it to your family or friends in order to get their feedback. Your opinion is very important to us and we promise to do everything we can to ensure you leave our clinic with a smile that you’re proud of!

What To Expect At Your Denture Appointment(s)

Stage One

Oral Exam
Treatment planning
First stage impressions
At your first denture appointment at the Belleville Denture Clinic, our Denturist will examine your mouth and let you know what your denture options are. We will also take the first set of required impressions, called ‘preliminary impressions’.

A financial deposit will be required at this first appointment.

Stage Two

Second Stage

Second Stage Impressions
Bite Record
Tooth Selection
At your second appointment, our team will proceed with the second stage impressions. The difference in the first and second impressions is the technique and materials that are used. You will be asked to bite into a denture shaped wax rim to record how you chew. At this stage, the colour, shape and size of your teeth will also be selected and discussed with you.

Stage Three

Denture Try-in
Our Denturist will then create a denture prototype so that you are able to see your smile and test it out before it’s finished. If there is anything you would like changed or are unsure about then let us know and we will be able to make the necessary changes. It is very important to make sure that the denture prototype is perfect before proceeding to the final denture.
