Annual Dentures Checkups

It is critical to maintain your dentures to ensure maximum comfort, chewing efficiency and appearance. Receive the care and attention you and your denture deserve with an annual denture check-up at Wellington Street Denture Clinic

An annual checkup is an opportunity to identify problems and possibly save you money and trouble in the future. During this annual re-care appointment, we will carefully examine both your mouth and your dentures for any signs of possible concern.

Oral Tissue and Jaw Bone

Over time, your mouth undergoes inevitable changes, including shrinkage of the underlying jaw bone on which your dentures rest. The soft gum tissue that covers the jaw bone will also change over time. However, your denture’s fitting surfaces do not change, and as a result dentures may no longer fit as they once did.

Oral Cavity

Having an annual oral exam may help prevent or detect the existence of oral cancer or other abnormal conditions.

Medical and Dental History

Updating both your medical and dental history is an important step towards quality overall treatment, as changes may directly affect the fit of your dentures.
