Once they are adjusted and fitted properly, partial dentures shouldn't hurt. But it will usually take some time to get used to them. Face it, it is not normal to have missing teeth replaced with metal and/or acrylic to give you artificial teeth to chew with. Everyone adapts differently. I have many patients that function quite well with partial dentures. When I see them for routine care, they seldom mention any problems with pain. Once you've accommodated, they are easily tolerable.

They dont really hurt. They might feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning, get some adjustments if that happened Key: time and patience
