  1. THREE REASONS WHY YOUR DENTURES MAY NOT BE FITTING RIGHT (AND HOW TO FIX IT)

  2. Dentures are a long-term investment for your appearance and your oral health, but over time, your once perfectly fitting denture may begin slipping, leaving sores, or even warping. As robust as modern dentures in Surrey are, it is impossible to manufacture a forever-lasting denture. Although, it is possible to take your existing denture and make it look or fit like new again.

  3. 1. Jawbone Recession Natural teeth help provide essential support to the shape and stricture of your jawbone through the presence of the tooth’s root. Without the root, the jawbone begins to shrink in a process known as resorption. While dentures can replicate the look of your natural teeth, they cannot replace the tooth’s root, and over time, the structure of your jawbone will begin to change leading to issues with the denture’s fit.

  4. 2. Denture Warping Like natural teeth, your dentures need daily cleaning and regular checkups to continue looking and fitting correctly. Proper denture care includes brushing at least once every day and leaving it to soak overnight (or whenever it’s not in use). You can use a specialty denture soak or just plain distilled water.

  5. 3. The Denture is Past its Life Lifespan Unfortunately, even the highest quality dentures have an expiration date. Dentures can only be refitted or relined so many times before they need to be replaced. Once your denture has passed its usable lifespan, you’ll need to have a new one made. On average, you can expect to get 7 to 10 years of use from the dentures Surrey has to offer provided you care well for them.

  6. 4. Other Tooth Replacement Options Dental implants are the most permanent tooth restoration technique available. As the name suggests, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone to replicate the look and feel of natural teeth and can drastically reduce resorption. However, dental implants are also the most expensive option available.
