Too Much Denture, Not Enough Room

As new complete dentures are initially placed in the mouth, they often give a full feeling or an oversized cramped sensation that may make it seem like there is not enough room in your mouth for your tongue. This is a common thing that people who has been without teeth for some times generally feel when dentures are initially put in. The inside of the mouth can change as the tongue and cheeks may feel to some extent thicker or even become fuller. This happens when the individual has been without teeth for an extended period of time. Then, when new complete dentures are first inserted onto the gums, this small thickness may feel huge. Although, it feels enormous, it is in actuality not. The full feeling eventually does go away in a short amount of time. The new denture wearer should not dwell on the sensation as it eventually goes away and your mouth feels normal again.

In addition, when the mouth is without teeth for long periods of time, it is normal for previously unsupported and depressed facial muscles and structures to feel strange when dentures are placed in. However, typically with new implants these muscles and structures will return to their normal position. These facial tissues will become accustomed to their regained normal positioning very quickly as well as beginning to feel more flexible and less strained, reducing the full feeling in the mouth as everything falls back into place.

The full feeling that an individual gets when they initially put their dentures in is a natural feeling caused by the changes that take place when the teeth are missing from the mouth for an extended period of time. With dentures you will reverse these effects and in many cases regain a more youthful appearance as a result.
