All dentures are not the same

Thinking all dentures are pretty much the same?  While all dentures are made in order to provide people with teeth when they are missing many or all of their own, different types of dentures work differently. For example, traditional dentures sit on top of your gums and are held in place through suctioning and implant-supported dentures are held in place when they are connected to a few strategically placed dental implants. When it comes to partial dentures, choices include fixed and removable.

Will wearing dentures impact the way a person talks?

Yes, it is possible for dentures to impact the way someone talks. While it does take time for someone to get used to wearing new dentures, it will only take a short amount of time for them to get used to how to perform their everyday activities while wearing their denture choice. The information below includes tips for new denture wearers that will help them talk clearly when wearing their new dentures.

Practice talking out loud at home before going out in public

New denture wearers should practice talking out loud when they first start wearing their new dentures. This allows them to understand which words may be more difficult to pronounce now that they are wearing dentures. New wearers are encouraged to practice talking out loud for a few days, making sure to write down any necessary notes on the type of words they need to practice.

Read a magazine or book in front of a mirror

Reading a magazine or book in front of a mirror allows new denture wearers to watch themselves as they start talking with their new dentures. This simple procedure helps them relearn how to pronounce a few words that tend to be more difficult when talking with dentures in one’s mouth. When new wearers are patient, talk slowly and relax, they will master talking with your new dentures in no time at all.

Gently bite down and swallow before talking

When new denture wearers gently bite down and then swallow before they start talking, it allows the dentures to be placed in a position that in turn allows them to talk more clearly. It really is important for dentures to fit properly, as when they do, they stay in their proper place and accordingly allow for easier talking.
