Check-Ups and Maintenance

Changes to your dental or medical health may affect the fit and function of your dentures. To ensure optimum denture care and good oral health you should visit your Denturist at least once a year. During your Check-Up, your Denturist will assess your dentures for cracks, chips or broken teeth and examine your oral health. Over time your mouth goes through considerable changes including tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone on which your dentures rest. Since your dentures do not change, they may not fit like they once did. Having an oral exam will also help in the detection of oral cancer and/or other abnormal conditions that may exist.
