After your dentures were fabricated, it is a good habit to visit your denturist once in a while to examine your oral cavity and check your dentures. Your dentures and tissues should be checked annually. Damage to the oral tissues can take place without you being aware of it. Early detection and elimination of tissue inflammation is important to minimize shrinkage of the supporting bone and tissue. By keeping the tissue healthy, your dentures will continue to fit correctly.

Your Denturist will also check for looseness of the denture due to tissue changes, stains and calculus deposits on the denture, your bite position (how evenly your teeth close together). It’s not the dentures which change over time, it’s your mouth which is continually changing so by having your Denturist check on your oral condition, you are able to enjoy all benefits of a well fitting quality denture.

Your dentures will be cleaned as well to avoid calculus build up where bacteria and fungi grow, and bring it to a fresh stage just like new.
