Denture Adjustments
Many denture wearers breathe a sigh of relief when they get their first pair of dentures, because they think their dental problems are over. What they soon realize, however, is that they have just traded some old problems for new ones.
Even the best dentures can't compete with natural teeth in ability to chew food efficiently and comfortably. Luckily, the process of making dentures have some a long way and our doctors are able to create dentures you will enjoy for many years. However, as the years go by, the supporting ridges that remain after teeth have been removed and your gums gradually change and get smaller.
For most patients, the dentures need to be "relined" or "refitted" every 2-4 years so that the denture will conform to your changing mouth. A large change in weight can also alter the shape of the mouth, causing changes in the fit.
If you have questions about your dentures, please call our office at 410-535-5055.
P.S. If you have any friends or family members who you feel could use our services, please don't hesitate to have them call us. We'll be sure to take good care of them.
