Yes, it’s still important to continue your regular checkups with the dentist after receiving your dentures. Dentists are able to examine your oral tissues and dentures as well as check for other serious issues like oral cancer. As you age, your mouth will continue to change as the bone under your denture shrinks or recedes. To maintain a proper fit over time, it’s necessary to adjust, reline, or remake your dentures.
Never attempt to change or readjust your dentures yourself, or use denture adhesives for a long period of time. If you’re experiencing issues with your dentures, contact our Longview office and we’ll schedule an appointment with Dr. Hobbs for you as soon as possible.
