Yes, when repaired by a professional, dentures are typically as strong as the original, and the repaired area may even be reinforced.

Wearing dentures around the clock can accelerate bone resorption and irritate your gums because your jaw and soft tissues don’t get needed rest. Over time, this often leads to a loose, ill‑fitting denture, changes in speech, sore spots, and difficulty chewing certain foods. For better denture care and long‑term oral health, remove your dentures at night, clean and soak them as directed, and see your dentist regularly for fit checks or relines.

Yes, modern dentures can look remarkably natural and blend seamlessly with your smile. With advanced materials, custom shading and shaping, and lifelike gum tinting, today’s dentures are often indistinguishable from natural teeth.

For the most natural-looking dentures, ask about a wax try-in and shade matching.
