We will provide instructions about how long dentures should be kept in place. During the first few days, you may be advised to wear them most of the time, including while you sleep. After the initial adjustment period, you may be instructed to remove the dentures before going to bed. This allows gum tissues to rest and promotes oral health. Generally, it is not desirable that the tissues be constantly covered by denture material.

Many, if not most denture wearers are aware of the limited chewing ability they endure each day. Dental implants can be a dream come true--giving the patient the ability to eat and chew foods comfortably again. As few as two implants can stabilize a loose lower denture! Even more exciting, s few as four implants can allow a patient to have their denture "fixed" onto the jaw--just like having your own teeth again. See similar questions...

Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has little or no non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed support, or implants, can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the "feel" of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Call your dentist for advice. See similar questions...

When most or all of your teeth have been lost, dentures can restore your eating and speaking ability, as well as improve your appearance. Today's dentures are much more effective and cosmetically appealing than they were in the past. A fitting for dentures can take place immediately after your natural teeth are removed or after the extraction sites have healed. Full dentures replace all of the natural teeth, and partial dentures replace only some of the natural teeth. See similar questions...

Yes, we really get asked this question. We don't know the answer first hand so we found a link: Dental Emergencies How to glue something to my skin? We almost hate to answer this question because we love all the mails we have received explaining what was being glued to the skin! One writer, for example, wanted to be like Britney Spears and glue gems to her skin. Who are we to argue. Obviously, when it comes to your skin you want something temporary and safe.
