Can you live a normal life with dentures?

It seems like you’ve just had dentures fitted or are planning to get dentures shortly and are concerned about them not being comfortable. The answer is yes; you can feel normal with dentures. Modern technology has made it easy; dentures can feel as if they are part of the mouth. You need your dentures to feel like part of your mouth because they play an important role in your life, including how you look and feel when you smile.

Dentures: Are they uncomfortable?
The opposite is true because as technology advances, dentures become increasingly comfortable. The purpose of a denture is to give you the feeling of having a natural tooth. Humans have used dentures for centuries as a replacement for teeth, and technology continues to improve at an unprecedented rate.

With the advancement in digital technology, dentures are fitted and designed using digital scans and CAD technology to ensure they fit perfectly. Digital dentures are made by taking a digital scan of the mouth and then using CAD software to fit it in the mouth. Dentures made digitally eliminate the possibility of errors and ensure a perfect fit.

When your dentures are designed, your denture technician will fine-tune the fit to ensure that they are comfortable. The belief that dentures are uncomfortable may have originated with the old dentures that rubbed and caused discomfort. Due to advances in denture technology, digital design, and fit technology, today’s dentures are incredibly comfortable and easy to wear.

Losing a tooth is possible at any age. Even young people can lose their teeth. It’s okay if you’re going through this. Dentures are an excellent option for you only if your dentures fit you well, and you should be comfortable enjoying them. Your dentist can assist you in the best possible way by placing your dentures at the right place with the perfect fit in your mouth.
