When to See a Belleair Cosmetic Dentist for New Dentures

How often should your dentures be replaced? While there's no specific answer to the question, there are guidelines that can help you decide when to see a Largo cosmetic dentist to have your dentures replaced.

On average, people who wear dentures have them replaced somewhere between four and eight years after the dentist originally fitted them. While some people need a replacement after as little as a year and others wear the same dentures for over 20 years, those are outside the norm. If you've been wearing your dentures longer than four years, you should make an appointment with a Bellair dentist to have their condition evaluated.

Over the years, your jaw may change and your dentures lose "vertical dimension" - that's a measure of the distance between your upper and lower jaws when your teeth are touching. Your dentures originally are fitted to the proper vertical dimension for your mouth, but as your mouth changes over time, they'll lose vertical dimension. This may happen so slowly over time that you don't even notice it - but it makes a very big difference in your appearance, the way you chew and even the way you speak. At its worst, ill-fitting dentures may even be responsible for headaches and neck pain. If you've developed a lisp or hissing "s" sound, or if your teeth no longer seem to meet properly, an appointment with a Largo denture specialist may be in order.

The surface of your dentures can become worn and discolored over the years, making them look more and more artificial. Newer materials look more natural and last longer, but even those can wear out over time. If your teeth's surfaces have worn down or if you're dissatisfied with the color or appearance of your dentures, make an appointment with a Bellair cosmetic dentist or Largo cosmetic dentist to see if it's time for a smile upgrade.

And of course, you should always make an appointment with a denture specialist if your dentures slip, feel uncomfortable or need to be repaired. A local Largo cosmetic dentist can evaluate your needs and help you make the best choice for your mouth.
