Why You Should Visit Your Denturist Regularly

Your dentures are crucial to the way you look and feel, and contribute greatly to your quality of life. That’s why it’s important to maintain your dentures to ensure they are always in optimal condition.

To determine whether or not it is time to visit the denturist, ask yourself these questions:

• Am I having difficulty chewing food?
• Am I having difficulty speaking?
• Am I always biting the side of my mouth or cheek?
• Are my gums red and inflamed?
• Are my dentures cracked or chipped
• Have I been wearing my dentures for over 5 years?

At our Calgary denture clinic, we offer comprehensive denture services including repairs and adjustments to ensure that you always have a perfect, natural fit.

Why Should I Schedule Annual Checkups With My Denturist?

Most patients understand the need for yearly dental checkups. If you wear dentures, it’s also important to visit your denturist on a regular basis to ensure the comfort and stability of your dentures and, more importantly, to protect your oral health.

Here are a few reasons why you need to schedule regular denture checkups:

1. Natural Changes in Your Mouth

Over time, your mouth undergoes many natural changes including tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone. When this occurs, your dentures will no longer fit the same way and may cause you significant discomfort.

2.Detection of Oral Conditions

During your annual checkup with your denturist, they are able to examine your mouth and detect the existence of oral cancer or any other abnormal oral conditions and ensure you receive the appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.
