If you need dentures, it\u2019s because you have missing teeth. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as accidents or age.<\/p>

Dentures are a lot sexier than you may remember from when your grandma used to wear them! The dentures we fit at smilogy are modern, natural looking and SO comfortable. In fact, nobody will ever realise you\u2019re wearing them!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you\u2019re getting dentures, it\u2019ll either be a full or partial set. We\u2019ll help you to understand which are the best for you depending on your situation.<\/p>

If all teeth need to be replaced, you\u2019re looking at a full set. Full dentures involve a flesh-coloured acrylic base which then fits over your gums<\/p>

However, in some cases, you might only need a few teeth replaced so a partial set makes more sense.<\/p>

Dentures are custom made to fit the exact contours of your mouth, for a precision fit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s a bit of a stereotype about dentures feeling awkward, but the good news is that the dentures of today aren\u2019t like that at all. Yes, you may need a couple of weeks to get used to daily activities like eating and speaking, but this will pass.<\/p>

Some customers report that their dentures feel big and bulky or even loose, but often this is just part of the adjustment. At smilogy, we know our dentures are 100% accurate and so they will be held in place.<\/p>

At first, you may panic that there simply isn\u2019t enough room in your mouth. You might feel irritated or even sore. This won\u2019t last long. After a while, your muscles will learn to hold the dentures in place naturally. If there\u2019s any doubt at all, just call your dentist here at smilogy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dentures are removable throughout their life, but after a while, they may need to be freshened up a bit. This could be because your mouth changes a bit or because you need a brand new base. Getting them updated is important to avoid irritation or to ensure you can still eat.<\/p>

We recommend getting your dentures checked every time you pop in for a smilogy check-up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
