What to Expect During Your Denture Journey with Dr. Sharma
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination at The Dental Bar. Dr. Sharma evaluates your oral tissues, jawbone structure, and history. If any remaining damaged teeth require extraction, a step-by-step healing plan will be created.
Fitting and Adjustments
Before the final appliance is cured, a wax replica is created for a trial run. This allows you to preview your look and check the comfort level in real time. Dr. Sharma can make immediate tweaks to the alignment and aesthetics before sending it out for final production.
Final Placement and Fine-Tuning
Once the lab completes the final fabrication, you return to our Louisville office for placement. Dr. Rohini Sharma carefully assesses the tissue contact and bite alignment, making precise modifications to eliminate initial pressure points.
At The Dental Bar, we offer affordable services tailored to meet your needs.

Care Tips and Guidelines for Full Dentures
With consistent daily care, a set of complete dentures can last for several years. Because your jawbone gradually changes shape over time, regular check-ups remain essential.
- Daily Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for prosthetics to clear away food particles and plaque buildup. Avoid regular abrasive toothpaste, which can create microscopic scratches on the acrylic material.
- Overnight Soaking: Always remove the appliance before sleeping to allow your gum tissues a chance to rest. Submerge the dentures in clean water or a mild soaking solution to prevent them from drying out or warping.
- Thorough Rinsing: Rinse your appliances thoroughly under lukewarm water after eating to keep them fresh. Never use hot water, as high temperatures can distort the custom shape.
- Gentle Handling: Clean your teeth over a filled sink or a folded towel. This preventative step shields the acrylic base from fracturing if it accidentally slips from your hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover the cost of dentures?
Many dental insurance plans provide benefits for complete dentures, though the amount of coverage varies depending on your specific policy. Some plans may cover a portion of the denture itself, while others may also help with related services such as tooth extractions or adjustments. At The Dental Bar, our team is happy to review your PPO insurance benefits and discuss flexible payment options. Please note that we don’t accept Medicaid or Medicare.
How long do removable dentures last?
Most removable complete dentures last between five and 10 years, depending on factors such as daily care, normal wear, and changes in your gums and jawbone over time. Even if your dentures remain in good condition, periodic adjustments or relining may be recommended to maintain a comfortable fit.
Will new dentures hurt at first?
It's normal to experience some mild soreness, pressure, or increased saliva production when adjusting to new dentures. Your mouth needs time to adapt to the new appliance, and most patients find that these symptoms improve significantly within a few weeks.
Should I wear dentures overnight?
Taking dentures out while you sleep allows your gums and underlying tissues to rest and gives you an opportunity to clean your dentures thoroughly. Wearing dentures continuously may increase the risk of gum irritation and oral infections. Dr. Sharma will provide instructions on how long to wear your dentures each day and the best ways to care for them at home.
