Broken, chipped, or cracked dentures: Despite our best efforts, sometimes dentures chip, crack, or break. When dentures suffer these problems, they can be unusable, or can irritate the soft tissue in your mouth. It is important to repair or replace your dentures so that problems do not get worse. Discomfort in your mouth: If you feel uneven pressure on your gums, a sore jaw, oral sores, or loose dentures, you should get your dentures repaired right away. If you experience sharp pain on or near your canine teeth, especially while biting, you should visit your denturist right away as it might be a sign of bone reabsorption. Difficulty chewing: One of the main reasons to get dentures is to get back to your normal eating habits. While you will need time to adjust to your new dentures, if chewing becomes increasingly uncomfortable you should visit your denturist to refit them. Gum irritation/Oral Sores: While wearing dentures might feel a bit strange at first, they should never cause gum irritation. If you experience raw spots, inflammation, or bleeding when you wear your dentures, you should visit your denturist right away to get them fixed. Changes in facial shape: Your dentures play a big role in keeping your face and cheeks looking full and even. If you notice a change in your jawline appearance, you likely need to have your dentures repaired or adjusted. If you are experiencing issues with your dentures, Contact us today! We can help.
