Tips to eating with the new dentures on:

It may take some time before wearers can fully get used to dentures. Unfortunately, it may need a lot of adjustments when it comes to eating or even talking with the dental appliance. But you don’t have to compromise your diet as we at Westchase Smiles Institute will give you some tips on how to eat with dentures:

  • Quenching a cup of coffee had become a part of one’s life. But now that you have invested in dentures, you need to be extra careful when quenching any hot liquids to avoid warping the oral device.
  • It may be challenging to chew certain foods with dentures. So before you consume red meat, for instance, make sure that it is adequately stewed or cooked for several hours.
  • During the first few days, we recommend sticking to a liquid diet. Don’t force yourself to chew right away to prevent any discomfort.
  • Consider slicing your foods into tiny pieces before eating them to limit the pressure on your gums.
  • You might get annoyed with peanut butter, taffy, or gums sticking in your restorative appliance. The key is to be cautious when eating any of these. It’s okay to snack with sticky treats but remember to clean your mouth and dentures afterward.

By following these tips, you are guaranteed to enjoy the foods that you love while maintaining the shape of your teeth replacement.

My father was in town for my sister's wedding and had one of his front fillings come out two days before the wedding. Dr. Cesar Chilmaza was able to get him last minute and did an amazing job. My father said that he did a better job fixing it than the original filling! Not only did he do a great job, he and his staff we so friendly and knowledgeable and did everything in their power to help take care of him. Thanks to Dr. Cesar my sister's wedding photos won't be a disaster!

Cesar is amazingly kind and patient with my endless questions. I'm ridiculously terrified of the dentist and they somehow understand my fears while gently coaxing me to follow the treatment plan they recommend. They're also open evenings for those of us still working. Simply put, they're quite delightful!
