The dentist will need to see the denture to determine the extent of the repair required, or if the denture can be repaired. It may not be possible to repair an older denture that has experienced considerable wear. Please do not try to repair the dentures yourself. This may result in the need for a new denture for which standard charges will apply. Also note that you will need to be present in the office the day a repair is being performed on your dentures.
Gold crowns are available on all dentures and usually are available through special order.
New dentures can be a somewhat trying experience for some patients, especially for first time wearers. Initially dentures often will feel strange and bulky, and will cause a feeling of fullness of the lips and cheeks. In time these feelings will subside and you will feel more comfortable. Time and patience will be your biggest allies. Other symptoms you may experience with new dentures are slurred speech, gagging, excessive salivation and funny or diminished taste.
