How long have you had your dentures?
Over time your mouth and dentures undergo inevitable changes. Dentures should be replaced every five to seven years to restore optimum fit, function and appearance. In the meantime, if your dentures require a repair or relining, your Denturist can best advise you of the most suitable treatment plan.
Do you have a broken denture?
Never attempt to repair or alter your dentures yourself. Improperly repaired dentures (with Glue) will not last long and may cause irritation due to the poor fit and have an adverse effect on your overall health. Also, when the break gain, they leave a residue behind which makes it difficult to put back in the original shape Repairs may be required when breakage or damage occurs, when one or more teeth need to be added to an existing denture (due to tooth extraction), or because of wear and tear. Often denture teeth and clasps can be added to existing partial dentures when natural teeth are lost. A proper repair requires addition of new denture base (pink) material to the repair area and may require an intra-oral impression prior to repair.
If your denture requires a repair, it may indicate underlying problems associated with the age of the denture, worn teeth or poor fit.
