If you’re wearing dentures in Pompano Beach, you should see your dentist yearly outside of your annual dental exams and regular teeth cleanings.
Having a “denture check-up” is necessary to help preserve your oral health, the strength and structure of your teeth, and ensure that your dentures are still working their best.
Did you know that you can extend the lifespan of your dentures by simply having your dentist assess them every year?
The average lifespan of dentures is between five to seven years. It expires because of its acrylic. The longevity of dentures depends on how well it can withstand trauma and bacteria in your mouth.
Are you aware that food particles and bacteria can cling and become stuck in your dentures? Over time, the acrylic will wear down and become susceptible to scratches, discoloration, and breakage.
When you have missing teeth, your jawbone will start to shrink abruptly at first and then slowly deteriorate over time. Therefore, you’ll need to constantly have your denture relined or rebased to make sure it doesn’t come loose when you chew or speak.
If your dentures don’t fit your mouth well, it can cause fractures and cracks on the device. We recommend adjusting your dentures every couple of years to prevent such problems. We’re more than happy to provide with service for you.
