Your dentures are important to the way you look and feel. This is why it is important to maintain dentures and ensure they perform at their optimum so that you can perform at yours. A regular check-up with your Denturist is the most effective way for you and your dentures to receive the care and attention you both deserve.
Why is a recare appointment necessary?
Tissues and bone
Over time, your mouth experiences considerable changes such as tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone (resorption) on which your dentures rest.. Because your dentures do not change, they may no longer fit as they once did.
Oral cavity
Having annual oral exams may prevent or assist in the detection of oral cancer or other abnormal conditions.
Medical or dental history
Updating both medical and dental history is an important step toward quality denture treatment.
Fit and bite of your existing denture
Worn-out dentures can result in improper fit and bite that can lead to other problems. They can also cause changes in your ability to bite, your speech and your appearance.
The integrity of your dentures
Your Denturist will check for cracks, chips, scratches and worn or loose teeth.
