Your dentures play a vital role in your daily life—helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence. But did you know that ill-fitting dentures can lead to serious oral health issues? Over time, changes in your gums and bone structure can cause your dentures to become loose, leading to discomfort and other complications.
Signs Your Dentures May Not Fit Properly:
❌ Sore or irritated gums
❌ Difficulty chewing or speaking
❌ Dentures slipping or moving around
❌ Pressure sores or ulcers in the mouth
❌ Frequent use of adhesive to keep them in place
Why a Proper Fit Matters:
✔️ Prevents Gum Damage – Loose dentures can cause friction, leading to irritation, sores, and even infections.
✔️ Better Comfort & Function – A secure fit allows you to eat and speak with ease, without worrying about your dentures shifting.
✔️ Protects Bone Structure – Poorly fitting dentures can accelerate bone loss in the jaw, affecting your facial structure over time.
✔️ Enhances Confidence – Comfortable, well-fitting dentures let you smile, laugh, and enjoy life without hesitation!
Time for a Check-Up?
If your dentures are more than two years old or you’re experiencing any discomfort, it may be time for an adjustment or a replacement. Regular check-ups ensure your dentures continue to fit properly, keeping your oral health in top shape.
