Post-Op Instructions for Dentures

Adjusting to new dentures can be a significant change. At Smile Studio 87, we provide detailed guidelines to help you through the process, ensuring a smooth transition and optimal care for your new dentures.

  • Initial Adjustment: Expect an adjustment period where your dentures may feel awkward. Common initial challenges include altered speech and a sensation of mouth fullness.
  • Eating Recommendations: Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth to keep your dentures in place.
  • Speaking Practice: Read aloud and repeat challenging words to speed up your adjustment to speaking clearly with dentures.
  • Oral Hygiene: Clean your dentures after every meal using a soft brush and denture cleaner. Avoid using toothpaste as it can be abrasive to denture materials.
  • Night Care: Remove your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest. Soak them in a denture cleaning solution or water to prevent drying out.
  • Handling Sore Spots: If you experience sore spots, rinse your mouth with saltwater and contact us for possible denture adjustment.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular check-ups for denture adjustments and to check the health of your gums and mouth.
  • Avoiding Damage: Handle your dentures with care. Store them in a safe place when not in use to avoid accidental drops or damage.
