Dentures take some getting used to. Eating and speaking usually feel different at first, and sore spots are common in the first few weeks while the fit is adjusted. A denture rests on the gums, so it won't feel or grip quite like natural teeth. Over time the gums and bone underneath shrink, so dentures need relining and eventually replacing. A partial denture that clips onto natural teeth makes those teeth harder to keep clean, so careful brushing and regular check-ups matter. We'll go through which of these apply to you before you decide anything.
