\"ModelIf you\u2019ve experienced significant tooth loss, dentures in Waterbury are a great way to treat your missing teeth. New advancements in dentistry have improved their fit and appearance to look and feel more realistic than ever. Not to mention, they can serve you for years with the right care, but they won\u2019t last forever. There will come a time when your dentures<\/a> will need to be replaced, but when? Here are 5 signs you might need to see your dentist for a new pair of dentures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Your Dentures Feel Loose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your jaw and gum tissue will change shape as your bone shrinks. As a result, your denture might not fit as snuggly as before. They might even fall out of your mouth. You can try a different adhesive, but if it doesn\u2019t fix the problem, it\u2019s best to contact your dentist for an adjustment or a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Difficulty Speaking Clearly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures aren\u2019t fitting correctly, you can experience slipping while you\u2019re speaking. Your words might sound slurred, which can indicate you need to call your dentist to solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Irritation or Sores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poorly fitting dentures can lead to pain and discomfort of your gum tissue. The irritation can increase when biting or chewing. If the problem isn\u2019t corrected, you may even develop sores or lesions in your mouth, which can become infected without the right intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Damage or Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentures will experience daily wear and tear. Over time, chips and fractures can occur. Your teeth might even loosen. Not to mention, your denture can appear discolored as the years pass, especially if you drink coffee, tea, or wine regularly. New dentures will restore a bright, beautiful smile you\u2019ll want to show off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Changes in Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re suddenly having difficulty chewing certain foods, your denture may not be creating a balanced bite. You won\u2019t have to skip eating your favorite meals by restoring harmony to your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stabilize Your Denture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite being more durable than ever, you\u2019ll need new dentures about every 5 to 7 years. You can promote how long they last by caring for them properly at home and visiting your dentist regularly. If you are interested in a more permanent option, ask your dentist about the benefits of stabilizing your denture with dental implants. 4 to 10 implant posts anchor your denture to your jawbone, giving unmatched support. With over a 95% success rate to last for decades, you\u2019ll enjoy a long-term investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures are slipping, your dentist can stop the irritation and reinstate your quality of life. They have the personalized solutions you need to complete your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
