Removable Dental Prosthesis
Removable dental prostheses are dental restorations that can be removed by the patient when using it is not necessary. Dentures are the most common removable dental prosthesis in the market and are, by far, the most common way that most patients choose to replace their missing teeth.
It will likely take you some time to get used to the feel of removable dental prostheses and how they fit and work in your mouth. At first, they will feel uncomfortable and maybe even a bit painful at times until your gums and jaw get used to how they feel. There may be excessive salivation, difficulty with speaking, discomfort while eating, and the feeling that there is not enough room for the tongue. All of these, however, are temporary and will fade as the gums heal, as you get more used to the appliance, and as it becomes a part of your normal daily life.
