Call and come in for included adjustments to the denture. Over time, additional adjustments of the denture may be necessary. As you age, your mouth naturally changes, which can affect the fit of the denture. Your bone and gum ridges can recede or shrink, resulting in a loose-fitting denture. Partial Dentures that do not fit properly should be adjusted.
Loose dentures can cause various problems, including sores or infections.
Call us promptly if your denture becomes loose. You can do serious harm to your partial denture and to your health by trying to adjust or repair your denture. A denture that is not made to fit precisely by a dentist can cause irritation and sores. If your denture no longer fits properly, if it breaks, cracks or chips, or if one of the teeth becomes loose, call us immediately. In many cases, we can make necessary adjustments or repairs, often on the same day.
