A full, beautiful smile that radiates joy is something we all yearn for, regardless of age. If you have missing or damaged teeth, you may find yourself constantly finding ways to hide your smile or avoid showing your teeth out of embarrassment.
Dentures also known as false teeth, are an excellent way to get your smile back. They are removable prosthetics crafted by our dentists or dental prosthetists to replace missing teeth and rejuvenate your smile. Whether you need full or partial dentures, our skilled prosthetists can provide you with a solution to suit your needs. Supported by surrounding structures and clasps, dentures fill in gaps left by missing teeth, improving your ability to eat and speak while maintaining your facial appearance and preventing sagging.

Getting dentures is a simple and smooth process at Purity Dental:
The process may also vary based on your specific needs and unique condition, so it’s important to work closely with our dentist to achieve the best results.
New dentures can feel bulky and awkward during the initial weeks. Mouth sores can develop, and your gums may need time to get used to the new dentures. However, after the first few weeks, your mouth will adapt to your dentures, Practising, eating, speaking, and taking them in and out correctly from your mouth will help further.
When eating for the first time, start with soft foods such as soup cooked vegetables, soft cereals or ground meat. Take small bites and chew on both sides of the mouth to keep even pressure on the denture. During the early stages, taste can be different, but this should improve with time. It can sometimes also be hard to judge the temperature of food and drink so be careful when consuming meals immediately after getting your dentures to avoid burning your mouth..
Eventually, you’ll be able to eat almost anything! However, you may want to avoid some hard foods that may dislodge or even break your denture.
To keep your mouth healthy and prevent infections or inflamed gums, it’s important to care for your dentures. They should be cared for in the same way you care for your natural teeth. The best way to do this is by cleaning your dentures to remove plaque buildup. Make sure to:
