Annual Dentures Checkup
Maintain optimum denture fit and oral health with your annual oral exam/denture checkup
An annual denture checkup is an opportunity to identify problems. Over time, your mouth undergoes changes in both the hard(bone) and soft(gum) tissues, so your dentures may not fit as they once did.
To help you maintain optimum oral health, it is important to regularly assess your dentures and mouth. This will ensure maximum comfort, chewing efficiency and appearance.
An annual denture checkup is also an opportunity to identify problems and possibly save you money and trouble in the future.
Many people believe that dentures can or should last forever! How often have we heard that patients have had their set of dentures for 30 years?. Wearing dentures for more without having them checked could be harmful to your health. Charing Cross Implant Denture clinic recommends that you complete an annual examination to ensure the proper fit and function of your dentures. We complete an annual denture checkup for our patients.
