Adjustments
With age, the mouth’s bone structure and soft tissue change. Therefore, over time, the overall fit and comfort of your current dentures can change.
Additionally, new dentures can cause high-pressure sore spots. This is a normal condition and is easily resolved with an adjustment. These adjustments will reduce the pressure placed on the gum tissue for greater comfort. Patients with new dentures should expect a few follow-up appointments for necessary adjustments.
If soreness and discomfort are keeping you from enjoying your dentures, a simple adjustment can make all the difference in the world.
FAQs About Adjustments
My dentures are new; why do I need an adjustment?
New dentures can take time to get used to and find their correct ‘fit.’ It is important to adjust your fit so your dentures work properly enabling you to maintain normal speech and facilitate normal chewing function.
My dentures are hurting my mouth; do I need an adjustment?
Your dentures are specially designed to fit the contours of your mouth, allowing for a fit that feels as close to your natural teeth as possible. Over the course of time, your dentures may begin to sit in ‘high spots’ on your gum line, rubbing against the mouth, gums and causing the surrounding soft tissue to feel sore. An adjustment will ease the discomfort.
