It may take a long time before you are completely comfortable with your new dentures and they may require quite a lot of adjusting to make them function just right. Expect to have challenges and be prepared to persevere. You are then most likely to wear your dentures successfully.

New complete or partial dentures can take months and months and months to get used to.
