DENTURE ADJUSTMENTS

Professional Denture Adjustments for
Lewiston, ME

Dentures are great dental products that help people who are missing teeth or have dental health concerns that have led to tooth loss. They help you smile with confidence and are fully functional just like natural teeth. They are subjected to a lot of wear and tear from their constant usage which can lead to issues. When this happens, you may need a denture adjustment. Do not attempt to do it on your own because you can damage it beyond repair. A denture adjustment is removing small areas of the acrylic to aid in comfort but not necessarily fit. Your mouth will continue to change over time and eventually you will need to consider a reline or a new denture, but that’s a subject for a different article.

Signs You May Need a Denture Adjustment

● Discomfort: You will always experience discomfort when you first get dentures. This discomfort should subside within a week or so. If your dentures become uncomfortable again after the initial discomfort, you may need to get your dentures adjusted.

● Difficulty Eating: It is normal for people with dentures to have difficulty eating when they first get them. However, most people get used to eating with them rather quickly. If you continue to have difficulty later or it gets worse, you will need to get a denture adjustment.
