What Are Dentures?
A denture is a prosthetic oral device that is custom-created to replace missing teeth. Made of acrylic resin or metal, dentures can either replace all of the teeth or some natural teeth. At Eddleman Dental, your denture is customized for your smile. It will look and function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with ease again.

Adjusting To Your Dentures
It may take time to get used to your new smile. However, most patients adjust to your devices fairly quickly. Initially, you may experience increased saliva, mild soreness and difficulty speaking or eating. These issues typically go away with practice and time.
Attend all of your follow-up appointments as directed and schedule an appointment if they become loose or uncomfortable. These appointments allow Dr. Eddleman to monitor the fit and condition of your dentures and make any necessary adjustments.
Taking Care Of Your Dentures
Properly caring for your dentures can help them last for a long time. To clean them, remove them and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Rinse them after you eat and soak them overnight to prevent the build-up of food particles and bacteria.
