What to Expect from New Dentures?
If you’re getting dentures, it’s normal to be a little worried about how they’ll feel. But don’t worry: most people feel much better after getting their new dentures than they did before! Dentures tend to take some time to get used to, but with patience, you’ll soon be back to enjoying your favorite foods and beverages without any discomfort at all!
You may have some soreness around the gums and some swelling in your mouth
You may have some soreness around the gums and some swelling in your mouth. This is normal and can take a few days to go away. If you experience any pain or burning, contact your dentist immediately. If you have a fever, see your doctor as soon as possible.
When you eat, it will take some time to get used to the feel of the new dentures in your mouth
When you eat, it will take some time to get used to the feel of the new dentures in your mouth. You may need to adjust your diet and how you chew food. For example, if you like crunchy foods, try eating them softer or blending them with liquid before chewing so that they are easier on your new dentures.
If this is not possible or still uncomfortable after making these changes, talk with a dentist about other options for relieving pain or discomfort while wearing new dentures
Your face may be more sensitive to hot or cold temperatures for a few days after getting dentures
It can take a few days to get used to the new dentures. If you experience discomfort, take pain medication as directed by your dentist or doctor. If you are still uncomfortable after a few days, contact your dentist immediately.
Your gums may become more sensitive for a few days after getting dentures.
Your gums may become more sensitive for a few days after getting dentures. This is normal and should go away within a week or so. You may have some soreness around the gums and some swelling in your mouth, which can make eating hard at first.
You might also experience some discomfort when you first get your new dentures; this is normal as well and usually goes away within two to three days after wearing them for an extended period of time (8+ hours). If the pain persists beyond this point, contact us immediately so we can help!
It’s normal for your new dentures to move around a bit as you get used to them
It’s normal for your new dentures to move around a bit as you get used to them.
Dentures are held in place by suction, which is created when air is drawn out of the mouth through an opening at the edge of each denture. It may take some time for your mouth to adjust to this new arrangement, so it’s common for dentures to feel loose or unstable at first. Over time and with practice, however, you’ll learn how best to use them–and how much pressure they can handle before they start slipping out of place again!
If it seems like too much work trying tuck them back into place every few minutes (or even seconds), try using dental wax instead of adhesive strips: Dental wax creates a stronger bond between plastic materials like acrylic resin than adhesives do without leaving residue behind once removed from skin surfaces such as gums/tongue
Don’t be alarmed if you experience some discomfort when you first get your new dentures
You may experience some soreness and swelling in your mouth when you first get your new dentures. This is normal, and it will go away in a few days. It’s also important to note that the fit of your new dentures may not be perfect right away. The tissue around the mouth can change over time, which means that it might take some time before you are completely comfortable with the feel of them inside your mouth.
If you have questions about how long this process will take or if there’s anything else we can do to help improve things for you, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Conclusion
Don’t be alarmed if you experience some discomfort when you first get your new dentures. You may have some soreness around the gums and some swelling in your mouth.

Your gums may become more sensitive for a few days after getting dentures as well. It’s normal for your new dentures to move around a bit as well since they need time adjusting inside their new mouth space!
If you are used to wearing dentures, then it can take some time to get used to new ones. Your gums and mouth may feel sore and tender for a few days. This is normal. However, if these feelings continue beyond a few days, you should call your dentist.
You can wear them whenever you want! You can even eat an entire meal while wearing them if that’s what feels most comfortable for your mouth.
That depends on how well you take care of them. You should brush and floss regularly and replace your old partial or complete denture every 5-7 years.
