After the long-awaited denture is made and the patient finally has new teeth, using the design will require a little patience from the patient.

The doctor will tell the patient how to wear dentures., to get used to them faster.

A denture in the oral cavity at first feels like a foreign body.

This feeling prevents the patient from leading a familiar lifestyle.

Persons suffering from increased irritability tend to get rid of the prosthesis as soon as possible. But it’s better not to.

The effectiveness of prosthetics depends both on the quality of the structures themselves and on the desire to use them, and, therefore, on the realization that prostheses need to get used to.

Complete addiction to designs in different patients occurs from one month to one year. It depends both on the size of the prosthesis and the characteristics of the patient’s nervous system.

Sometimes when using a denture, painful sensations may appear.

In such a situation, you should immediately consult a doctor.

But before you go to the dentist, you need to prepare:

• The prosthesis should be in the oral cavity for at least five hours before admission, so that the dentist can determine the place where pain is felt.
• Any design flaws can only be rectified by a physician.
• The patient is not recommended to independently make any amendments to the design, since this can lead to its further unsuitability.
• It is also necessary to urgently visit a doctor in the presence of an inflammatory process of the oral mucosa, spots, sores and other formations.
