Living with dentures can restore your smile and improve your quality of life, but maintaining their fit and comfort requires ongoing care. At Exceptional Dentistry of the Golden Isles, Dr. Robert Lancaster, a U.S. Army veteran with six years of distinguished service, and Dr. Angela Britt, an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and Fellow of the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, bring unmatched expertise to patient care.
Regular denture adjustments are essential to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal functionality. Without these periodic tweaks, issues like discomfort, slippage, and even oral health complications can arise. Experience the difference of expert care for well-fitting dentures and a confident smile.
Why Are Regular Denture Adjustments Important?
Over time, your mouth naturally changes shape due to bone density loss and gum shrinkage. These changes are gradual but inevitable, especially if you’ve been wearing dentures for years. As your mouth shifts, your once-perfectly fitted dentures may become loose, leading to discomfort and decreased functionality.
Ill-fitting dentures can cause a host of problems, including:
- Irritated or sore gums.
- Difficulty chewing or speaking.
- Increased risk of infections or oral sores.
Proactively addressing fit issues with regular adjustments ensures your dentures remain comfortable and effective.
Benefits of Proper Denture Adjustments
Getting your dentures adjusted regularly offers numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Comfort
- Ill-fitting dentures can cause pressure points or slip out of place. Adjustments help your dentures fit snugly and comfortably, reducing irritation and soreness.
- Improved Functionality
- A proper fit ensures that your dentures stay in place while you eat, speak, and go about your day. This enhances your overall confidence and quality of life.
- Better Oral Health
- Well-fitting dentures reduce the risk of sores, inflammation, and gum infections, contributing to healthier gums and mouth tissues.
- Extended Lifespan for Your Dentures
- Routine adjustments help prolong the life of your dentures by preventing unnecessary wear and tear caused by improper fit.
When Should You Consider a Denture Adjustment?
It’s important to recognize the signs that your dentures need an adjustment:
- Frequent slipping or shifting.
- Sore spots or irritation in your gums.
- Difficulty chewing or speaking.
- General discomfort or pain.
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait—schedule an adjustment promptly.
