In these tough economic times a lot of people are feeling the pinch. Though you may be tempted to buy the cheapest dentures available, or do your own denture repairs in order to save money there are very important factors that need to be taken into consideration.
- Dentures are not one-size-fits-all
When you purchase dentures from a professional denturist you aren’t just buying a set of false teeth. You are investing in your quality of life. A professional denturist will carefully review your medical history and perform an oral examination. During the oral examination he or she will take detailed measurements of your mouth so that your dentures can be made to fit you perfectly. This will improve the fit of your dentures (without the use of messy adhesives) and reduce the likelihood of you developing painful sores or other serious oral health problems. This will ensure your continued quality of life and save you expensive dental costs down the road. - Do-It-Yourself repairs tend to make things worse
Proper denture maintenance and repair is essential to extending the life of your dentures. Dentures that are not properly adjusted, or have been damaged, can damage your gums. This makes them highly susceptible to sores. Proper repairs require a comprehensive understanding of how dentures are made and how they interact with your mouth. DIY repairs can actually damage your dentures, making them more likely to harbour bacteria and potential altering their shape, which leads to gum damage. - You don't have to compromise
