Denture Exams & Maintenance
Denture Exams & Maintenance
Regular denture exams and maintenance help keep your dentures comfortable, secure, and functioning properly. As your gums and jawbone change over time, routine checkups ensure your dentures continue to fit well, preventing slipping, discomfort, and difficulty with eating or speaking.
During your denture exam, our dental team evaluates the fit, stability, and condition of your dentures while checking your gums and oral tissues for signs of irritation, wear, or other concerns. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your dentures and supports long-term oral health.
Medical & Dental History Update
Keeping your medical and dental history up to date helps us provide safe, personalized denture care. Changes in your health, medications, or lifestyle can affect the fit, comfort, and function of your dentures. Regular updates allow our team to deliver treatment tailored to your oral health needs.
Your medical history also helps us identify conditions that may affect your gums, oral tissues, or healing, ensuring your dentures remain comfortable and properly fitted over time.
Annual Oral Exam
Annual oral exams are important for maintaining healthy gums, oral tissues, and well-fitting dentures. Regular checkups help detect potential problems early and ensure your dentures continue to function comfortably.
During your annual exam, we evaluate:
- The fit and condition of your dentures
- Gum and oral tissue health
- Signs of irritation or sore spots
- Changes in jawbone structure
- Abnormal or suspicious tissue changes
- Overall oral comfort and function
Early detection of oral health concerns helps protect your smile and supports long-term denture comfort and function.
Tissue and Bone Assessment
Changes in your gums and jawbone naturally occur over time, especially after tooth loss, which can affect the fit and function of your dentures. Regular tissue and bone assessments help identify changes early, ensuring your dentures remain comfortable, stable, and supportive.
