Dentures are a last resort and sometimes that’s the route that we have to go. So what we do is we take extra steps when we’re making these dentures to make sure that they fit as good as possible and we give patients instructions on how to care and wear their dentures. One of the things that we do differently here when we’re talking about making traditional dentures is going through extra steps to make sure that we’re getting a denture at the end that’s going to fit as tightly as possible.
Some of the other practices or places out there kind of just speed through the process and that can result in a denture that doesn’t fit very well and is not comfortable or even wearable. I have a lot of patients that come to me who have had dentures made in other places that they’re not able to wear and we go through the necessary steps to make them something that’s going to fit much better. Drawbacks to a no filling denture are for one not even being able to wear it.
If the denture is not fitting well and you try to eat with it, it’ll rub on the gum tissue and be extremely uncomfortable. It can create sore spots and in most cases you can’t even wear it. The other issue too is it can make it difficult to speak with it and then that can result in other issues like the teeth actually coming out of your mouth in some cases.
