Getting Used to
New Dentures
We Are Here Every
Step Of The Way
Getting used to wearing dentures can be challenging at times, especially if you are new to dentures but like anything else it’s a skill that you will learn. We will be scheduling after care appointments to do the necessary adjustments and making your transition to new dentures as smooth and seamless as possible. Some things to consider when wearing new dentures are
Speaking And
Eating With Dentures
Speaking with new dentures initially may be challenging as your mouth, tongue and muscles adapt to it.
- Practice speaking and reading aloud.
- Speak slowly if you notice a clicking sound when you speak.
- Bite and swallow before speaking, especially if you feel that your dentures are incorrectly positioned.
- Talk to a friend; this can help you feel less self-conscious about how you sound
Simple tasks like eating and speaking may be challenging after getting dentures. Eating the right types of foods during the adjustment period will reduce tension and stress in your jaw muscles. Here are some helpful tips on how to eat with dentures

- Eat soft foods: Mash or puree some of your favorite fruit and vegetables like potatoes, carrots, avocado, or apples. Easy to chew foods like bananas, pudding, and yogurt are great too.
- Small pieces of food: Cut food into small pieces and chew gently using both the right and left sides of the mouth.
- Check the temperature: You may not be able to sense temperature as easily after getting new dentures. Test if food has cooled down enough by placing it on the lips first.
- Talk to a friend; this can help you feel less self-conscious about how you sound
- Avoid hard to chew foods: Excessive chewing or biting into hard and crunchy foods can cause discomfort.
