Once the fitting is complete and that first set is ready for use. there are a few things the patient should expect. Here are some examples.
Getting Used to the Fit
With the best case scenario, those new Dentures Stuart will be a perfect fit for the gums. This means there will be no irritation or rubbing that could cause sore spots. Some people do find that while the plates are a good fit overall, there are one or two areas that seem to rub a little. In many cases, all that is needed is a slight adjustment and those problem areas will no longer be present. If there is any irritation, see a dentist and have the problem resolved quickly.
Learning to Eat
Many people are a little timid about learning how to eat with dentures in place. It really is a little different from what the patient did in the past. Keep in mind that it will take a little time to get use to the feel of the plates in the mouth. In the meantime, try chewing up and down, with a minimum of side to side action. It also helps to cut food into smaller pieces for a few weeks. As the patient gets used to eating with the dentures, doing so will not seem like such a strange act.
Speaking
Many people do not realize just how much of a difference the dentures will make when it comes to pronouncing certain words. For a time, it helps to speak a little slower and make an effort to pronounce the words distinctly. In a few weeks, having the dentures in place will not feel so foreign, and it will be much easier to talk without having to think about how the words will come out.
