Denture Exams And Maintenance
Your dentures are an important investment in your oral health, and just like natural teeth, they require regular care to maintain their optimal performance. The fit of your dentures plays a significant role in your overall oral health and comfort. An annual denture exam with Dr. Hu ensures that your dentures are functioning correctly, providing you with a secure and comfortable fit. During this exam, any adjustments needed to improve fit, function, or comfort will be made, preventing potential issues like gum irritation, bone loss, or bite problems. Regular maintenance helps preserve your investment, preventing the need for costly repairs or replacements in the future.
Expert Denture Checkups
Regular denture exams and maintenance are crucial for ensuring that your dentures continue to function properly and comfortably. Dr. Hu will update your medical and dental history to check for any changes that may affect the fit of your dentures. An annual oral exam is also performed to detect early signs of oral health issues, including cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions, allowing for prompt treatment. Additionally, an assessment of your oral tissues and bone will be conducted, as ill-fitting dentures can cause irritation, changes to your bone structure, and tissue damage over time. The fit, comfort, and integrity of your dentures will also be thoroughly evaluated to identify any cracks, chips, or signs of wear. Dr. Hu will clean and polish your dentures, and provide recommendations to maintain optimal oral hygiene. Regular exams and maintenance are key to keeping your dentures working well and maintaining your overall oral health.
