Why Is A Recare Appointment Necessary?

A regular check up with your denturist is the most effective way for you and your dentures to get the care and attention you deserve. It's important to maintain dentures and ensure they perform at their optimum so you can perform at your best.

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.

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

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

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.

Your Denturist will…

• check for cracks, chips, scratches, and worn or loose teeth.
• give an intra oral examination
• clean and polish of your dentures if required
• update your dental and medical history
• check the integrity of your denture
• check the esthetics, stability and the bite
• offer options available to you based on your needs
• review of oral hygiene procedures and denture care
