Complete dentures (false teeth/plates) are never as functional as real teeth. Studies have shown that they only have 20% of the function of natural dentition.
Over time bone does change, does resorb and the dentures will become loose. At that time a reline or new set of dentures may be needed. Dentures need to be removed overnight for tissues to rest and failure to do so leads to accelerated bone loss, making the denture loose faster along with soft tissue overgrowth.
Often the lower denture is more ill-fitting than the top. To increase retention, implants are recommended, particularly for the lower arch. If you choose not to have implants placed to anchor the denture, retention and stability of the lower denture cannot be guaranteed.
If it is the first time dentures are worn, one will need to learn how to speak correctly again and how to chew food again in a "balanced" (chew evenly on each side to prevent rocking) motion.
If extractions are needed prior to denture placement it is possible to have a denture to immediately replace the extracted teeth but a reline or another denture will be needed when the extraction sites heal, which is generally after 6 months to year. Even when one no longer have "real" teeth, regular dental check-ups for bone change and soft tissue changes every year are indicated.
By signing below you acknowledge that you understand the information presented, have had all your questions answered satisfactorily, and give consent to have dentures made.
