Key Aspects of Denture Adjustments
Denture adjustments help ensure that your dentures fit properly and feel natural. Over time, changes in the mouth, normal wear, or newly placed dentures may require fine-tuning to improve comfort and daily function. Regular maintenance supports oral health, enhances chewing and speaking, and helps you feel more confident in your smile.
Comfort & Fit
Adjustments help relieve pressure points, reduce irritation, and create a more secure and comfortable fit.
Function & Stability
Improved alignment enhances chewing, speaking, and day-to-day use, making dentures feel more natural.
Oral Health
Properly fitted dentures help protect the gums and prevent sore spots, rubbing, and inflammation.
Ongoing Care
Routine reviews and minor adjustments help extend the life of your dentures and maintain long-term comfort.
Denture adjustments are important for maintaining oral comfort
Over time, dentures may shift, loosen, or cause irritation as the shape of your mouth naturally changes. These issues can affect how comfortably you eat, speak, and carry out daily activities. Prioritising routine adjustments and professional support helps keep your dentures fitting well, protects your oral tissues, and ensures a more confident and comfortable experience.
You may need an adjustment if your dentures feel loose, create sore spots, rub against your gums, or make it difficult to chew or speak clearly.
We provide denture checks, reshaping and smoothing of pressure points, relining to improve fit, repair of minor damage, and personalised guidance to help you maintain comfort and stability.
Typical concerns include slipping, discomfort while chewing, gum irritation, difficulty speaking, and increased wear on the denture base.
Good habits include cleaning them daily, storing them properly when not in use, avoiding very hard foods, and attending regular dental reviews to keep them in optimal condition.
