A : Today, the science & technology behind Prosthodontics & Dental materials has become so advanced that you probably will barely notice a difference in your appearance. Each set of dentures is personalized to your gums,teeth, lips, tongue...your whole mouth. Additionally, before you're given your permanent dentures, dentures are made in wax for you to try them on and see how they look. Of course, there is a huge transformation from having just natural teeth and gums to the phase of having complete dentures which have a plate to support the artificial teeth. The tongue needs some adjustment as there is sharing of space available for tongue with the new dentures in place. This is corrected in due course of time. (15-20 days)
A : Getting dentures for the first time is an adjustment, to say the least. There are many things you're going to have to practice a little to truly master - and speaking is one. Don't worry - it's not like relearning how to speak completely. You may experience some lisping at first, but it shouldn't take long to re-teach your tongue and lips where they go to regain you original speech patterns.
A : Again, it's all an adjustment. Yes, you may have some difficulty at first, but you've spent a lifetime learning a particular way of eating. Now, you'll just need to tweak it a little. Because your natural teeth are rooted deep in your mouth, you tear your food away from its source. Picture biting into a piece of fruit. Normally, you would tear the piece you want to eat right away from the rest of the fruit. With dentures, you will learn how to bite into the food, and not pull your head away until it is already in your mouth. A small adjustment, but it will take some practice.

A loose denture with poor gum support can be fixed firmly with the gums by support of dental implants to the extent that patients can eat ,speak and communicate confidently without the fear or consciousness of slipping of the denture. The chewing efficiency has been documented with scientific research to be way better than the conventional simple denture.
