Dentures

What are the differences between eating with partial dentures and with full dentures? What can help wearers of partial dentures return to normal eating without discomfort or pain?

 

Eating with dentures can feel different due to the different nature and functionality of these dental appliances. Partial dentures are designed to fit around the remaining natural teeth, providing additional stability. The natural teeth help anchor the partial dentures in place, making them generally more stable than full dentures. In the article - https://villagedentalmedicine.com/dental-implants-cons-pros/ you can learn about how to start eating with partial dentures.

 

Because partial dentures are supported by natural teeth, partial dentures usually allow you to bite and chew more effectively. The remaining teeth can withstand some of the chewing forces, reducing the stress on the gums.

 

Adaptation may be quicker due to the presence of natural teeth providing a familiar biting and chewing sensation. However, it may take some time to adjust to the feel of the denture clasps around the teeth.
