One of the common concerns we hear from our patients who anyone considering tooth replacement is whether the process of getting dentures will be painful. It’s a natural worry since you are talking about a coming to your local dentist. However at Christina Brinda DDS in North Canton, Doctor Christina Brinda prides herself in her unparalleled bedside manners as well as soft touch. We want to reassure you that modern dentistry has made the process of getting dentures as comfortable as possible. As a dentist for dentures, Dr. Christina Brinda prioritizes your comfort and will guide you through every step by explaining what to expect.
The Initial Process: Minimal Discomfort
Taking impressions of your mouth is a quick and harmless procedure. You might feel some pressure, but it’s not painful.
Impressions
We’ll examine your gums as well as jawbone structure and any remaining teeth to determine the best course of treatment.
Measurements
Gathering measurements for your bite and jaw relationship is also non invasive and painless as well.
Wax Try Ins
Trying in the wax models of your dentures is a comfortable experience designed for your feedback not discomfort. This step is where you see and approve the look of your new teeth. Rest assured that we will not pick just any random teeth that are cheap looking but we take pride in our work. By analyzing your facial structure as well we understand what teeth you need to complement your look. If you have any remaining natural teeth that need to be extracted before getting complete dentures, those procedures are performed with local anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the extraction itself. Dr Christina Brinda will call you personally a few hours after the procedure to check on you and make sure that
The Adjustment Period: What to Expect
The period immediately after you receive your new dentures is where most patients experience some level of adjustment, rather than outright pain.
Initial Soreness
It’s common to develop some sore spots or minor irritation on your gums as they adapt to the new appliance. This is much like breaking in new shoes.
Increased Saliva
Your mouth might produce more saliva as it senses a new object. This usually subsides quickly.
Difficulty with Chewing and Speaking
You’ll need to learn how to eat and speak with your new dentures. This takes practice and can feel awkward initially.
Important: Any significant or persistent pain is not normal. If you experience ongoing discomfort, it means your dentures need an adjustment.
Why Adjustments Are Key to Comfort
Your mouth is unique, and even with the most precise measurements, minor adjustments are almost always needed after you start wearing your new dentures. These adjustments are crucial for your comfort. At Christina Brinda DDS, Dr. Brinda will schedule follow-up appointments.
Relieve Pressure Spots
We’ll identify and gently buff down any areas of the denture that are causing irritation.
Refine Your Bite
Ensure your upper and lower dentures or partials meet correctly, preventing jaw pain and improving chewing efficiency.
These adjustments are typically quick and painless and they significantly improve how your dentures feel.

General Dentist Brinda is the best dentist I ever been to . If you’ve been holding off going to the dentist, whether for just cleaning or getting wisdom teeth out , go here . The staff is so welcoming and friendly and Dr. Brinda is so knowledgeable and walked me through every procedure from start to finish and all the expectations. She is a perfectionist that wants you to look your best and goes out of her way to do just that . I went in for a whitening treatment and cleaning and it was the best experience that I had at a dental practice! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to feel comfortable,well cared for and informed, while receiving best treatment for their smile.

Dr. Brinda is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to! My wife and I live in Michigan and we make the drive every year to go see her because she’s that good! Whether it’s going in for cleaning/whitening or taking care of a cavity, I always have a great experience going here. I’ve never really enjoyed going to the doctor for anything, but I can honestly say I enjoy coming here for my yearly checkups. Dr. Brinda is very knowledgeable and extremely professional, and she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome and cared for. Highly highly recommend!

Dr. Brinda and her amazing office team are lovely; down to earth and outstandingly competent. Their main focus, I have no doubt from all of my visits, is their patient’s oral health. This team is professional and efficient, but also what we all want in a medical team of any sort, very knowledgeable. I truly appreciate all of the care and concern this office has offered me. This is truly a top notch team and one you can thoroughly entrust with your dental health. Thank you to you all.

I personally was shadowing Dr. Brinda's office for my Dental Hygienist Program, and it was an amazing experience! Dr.Brinda and her wonderful team are constantly working to make sure things are sterilized, wiped down, and organized for your visit! There was nobody sitting around, but everyone was helping other people out! Staff at Dr. Brinda's office was respectful, sweet and supportive! Dr. Brinda personally took time with patients, and treated them like a person, not just a patient. She asked recurring patients about an update on their personal lives from the patients last visit, and it was amazing to see the patients smile when she remembered. Overall, from someone who saw behind the scenes of this office, I would gladly come there to visit just to see the amazing work they do. I highly recommend Dr. Brinda's Office!

I normally don’t make recommendations or write testimonials for services rendered. I expect and demand the highest patient care for my hard earned buck, period. I have been a patient for several years. Her team of professionals are exceeding my expectations regarding knowledge, kindness, skills, patient care, and my well being. Beginning from the initial phone call to schedule an appointment, through all of the facets of dental care provided, and processing the insurance payment, each employee earns a five star on my every visit.

The most friendly staff I have ever seen in a dentist office! Dr Brinda was super knowledgeable about some underlying health conditions and my pregnancy and was super through and cautious! Say bye bye to any anxiety from dentistry work at this office it’s feels welcoming and homey and very clean.
