Why Annual Visits to Your Denturist and Dentist Matter

Even if you wear complete dentures or have only a few natural teeth remaining, annual visits to your denturist and dentist are crucial for maintaining your oral health. These routine check-ups do more than ensure your smile looks great — they help catch issues early, maintain your oral health, and ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably.

Here’s why these annual appointments are necessary:

  • Monitor Oral Health: Your mouth changes over time. Regular exams help detect gum conditions, infections, or even early signs of oral cancer — issues that can go unnoticed without professional evaluation.
  • Ensure Proper Denture Fit: Ill-fitting dentures can cause sore spots, difficulty chewing, and jaw problems. Your denturist can assess the fit and make adjustments or recommend relines or replacements if needed.
  • Protect Remaining Teeth: If you have partial dentures, your dentist helps protect your natural teeth with cleanings, check-ups, and cavity prevention.
  • Extend the Life of Your Dentures: Regular maintenance and adjustments help prevent damage and extend the lifespan of your dentures.

Taking care of your smile is a lifelong commitment — and we’re here to help every step of the way. Book your annual visit today and keep your oral health on track.

Relines

Denture Relines

A reline is the process whereby a new base material is added to the soft tissue side of your denture, which will allow them to fit better once again.

Repairs

Denture Repairs

Repairs are done at our onsite lab, which minimizes the cost of repair as well as the duration you would be without your denture. A repair is usually when we fix or add to an existing denture.

Rebase

Rebase Dentures

Rebase is the process whereby all the old denture base acrylic is removed and replaced with new acrylic. This process is only done if the teeth are still in good condition.
