When you restore your smile with a set of full or partial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mccombdental.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a>, you can improve your oral health and emotional wellbeing, allowing you to truly enjoy your smile again. With proper maintenance, your prosthetic can continue to serve you for years to come, but over time, as your jawbone shrinks, they\u2019ll likely need to be relined to ensure a proper fit. Read on to learn what this process looks like and how you can tell that your full or partial denture needs to be adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Tell if Your Dentures Need to Be Relined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures need to be relined predominantly due to the underlying supportive bone structure eroding with time. This occurs because the roots of your teeth are no longer stimulating the structure and providing it with vital blood flow, signaling the bone to keep regenerating. Over time, this can cause a variety of side-effects, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slipping and shifting dentures whenever you eat or speak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thrush, or oral infections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irritation and ulcers on the gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General discomfort while wearing dentures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Your Dentures Relined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your dentures relined can be completed within a single appointment or a few days, depending on what type of relining you require. This process involves adding material to the inner portion of your denture that fits over your gums to hold them in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, your dentist will capture impressions of your mouth to create a digital profile of your new oral structure. If the adjustments needed are small, your dentist may be able to complete your relining in-office. However, if larger changes need to be made, they\u2019ll likely need to ship your prosthetic to a dental laboratory, which would mean that you wouldn\u2019t have access to your prosthetic for several days. In any case, this is a small price to pay for functional, comfortable, and confidence-boosting dentures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting Your Dentist for Routine Checkups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like with your natural teeth, routine checkups and professional denture cleanings are necessary to ensure your prosthetic continues functioning and fitting as it should. Typically, relining occurs every one to two years, and replacement dentures are required every seven years, but allowing your dentist to complete routine inspections of your prosthetic will help them take proactive measures to preserve your replacement teeth. This means you can worry less and get the most out of your denture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At McComb Family Dental, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mccombdental.com\/meet-the-doctors.html\">team<\/a> is led by three experienced, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable dentists, Dr. Nancy Dysinger, Dr. Kimberli Crates Best, and Dr. Emily Crates Heintzelman.
