Your dentures are important to the way you look and feel. That's why it's important to maintain dentures and ensure they perform at their optimum so you can perform at your best.

A regular check-up with your Toothcrafters' Denturist is the most effective way for you and your dentures to get the care and attention you both deserve.

TISSUES AND BONES

Over time, your mouth goes through considerable changes. Tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone (resorption) on which your dentures rest will occur. Since your dentures do not change, they may no longer fit like they once did.

ORAL CAVITY

Having an annual oral exam may prevent or help detect the existence of oral cancer or other abnormal conditions.

MEDICAL OR DENTAL HSITORY

Updating both medical and dental history is an important step towards quality denture treatment.

FIT AND BITE OF YOUR EXISTING DENTURE

Worn out dentures can cause improper fit and bite which can lead to other problems. They can also cause changes in your ability to bite, your speech and your appearance.

THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR DENTURES

Your Toothcrafters' Denturist will check for cracks, chips, scratches, and worn or loose teeth.
