Adjusting to new dentures or partial dentures takes time, and it's completely normal for them to feel different at first. Most patients become more comfortable over the course of several weeks as they adjust to eating, speaking, and smiling with their new restoration.
Give Yourself Time to Adjust
During the first few days, your dentures may feel slightly bulky, and you may notice minor changes in the way you speak or chew. Starting with softer foods and taking smaller bites can make the adjustment easier. Reading aloud at home can also help you become more comfortable speaking with your dentures.
If you experience sore spots or areas where your dentures don't feel quite right, please don't try to adjust them yourself. Instead, schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Scott Howe. Small adjustments can often improve the fit and make your dentures much more comfortable.
