Eating with Dentures

Eating with dentures will take a little practice, especially for the first time denture wearers. Start with softer foods cut into small pieces and chew slowly on the back teeth to develop a "feel" for chewing with dentures. Unlike natural teeth there is no sensory feedback from the denture tooth to tell you where the teeth are. Depending upon the limitations of the supporting ridge structures, you may or may not be able to bite on the front teeth with conventional dentures.

Patients that experience a lot of tipping or movement of their dentures during chewing should have the dentures examined closely. Leaving these problems unchecked will result in greater damage to the denture bearing surfaces and may also result in a poorer fit with future dentures. With all the options available for ensuring a proper fit, there is NO reason that you cannot enjoy a normal balanced and varied diet without discomfort or embarrassment.
