Acrylic options are cost\u2011effective, metal frameworks offer strength and stability, partial dentures replace several missing teeth, and full dentures restore an entire arch."},{"question":"Do dentures feel uncomfortable ?","answer":"At first, most patients experience a short adjustment period. Mild soreness, pressure points, or changes in speech are common early on and improve as the mouth adapts. Adjustments can quickly relieve any rubbing or sore spots."},{"question":"How long do dentures last?","answer":"Dentures typically last several years. Acrylic dentures may need more frequent relines, while metal partials are more durable. Fit changes over time as gums remodel, so periodic reviews are important."},{"question":"How do I care for my dentures?","answer":"Remove and clean dentures daily, brush gums and tongue, and store dentures in water overnight.
