Are they doing their job correctly? If you\u2019re experiencing any discomfort or certain symptoms, it may be time to replace your restorations. Over time, the shape of your face and mouth will begin to\u00a0change due to jawbone loss, causing your dentures to slip and shift at\u00a0the most embarrassing moments. Read on to learn when you should schedule an appointment with your dentist and if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canyoncreekfamilydentistry.com\/implant-retained-dentures.html\">dental implants<\/a> may be a better solution to replace your teeth.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How Long Do Dentures Last?<\/h2>\n<p>Dentures can last between five and 10 years with the proper care. However, in that time, they may need to be relined or readjusted as the shape of your mouth changes. Once they become too loose or unfitted, they\u2019ll need to be remade by your dentist in Richardson. If you have any underlying health issues, it\u2019s possible that your dentures may not last as long, which is why it\u2019s important to continue to visit your dentist regularly.<\/p>\n<h2>4 Signs You Need To Replace Your Dentures<\/h2>\n<p>If you notice any of these four signs, don\u2019t hesitate to\u00a0contact your dentist as soon as possible because your dentures need to either be replaced or readjusted.<\/p>\n<h3>Chips, Cracks, or Damage<\/h3>\n<p>Dentures are fairly fragile, which is why it\u2019s so important to carefully handle them while cleaning them. If you notice a chip, crack, or fracture on the base or replacement teeth of your dentures, then it\u2019s time to get them repaired or replaced.<\/p>\n<h3>Slipping or Shifting<\/h3>\n<p>If your dentures are slipping or shifting in your mouth, it can be caused by either the loss of jawbone density or them being worn down. Your dentist may be able to\u00a0adjust them to solve this problem and prevent sores from developing.<\/p>\n<h3>Oral Sores<\/h3>\n<p>If you notice pressure sores developing in your mouth, it may be a sign that your dentures aren\u2019t evenly distributing your bite force across your dentures and that they need to be adjusted or replaced. As you chew, one area of your mouth will be doing the brunt of the work, causing irritation and wounds to form.<\/p>\n<h3>Denture Color Changes<\/h3>\n<p>If you notice that your restorations are changing in color, this is a result of wear-and-tear, aging, and eating stain-causing foods and beverages. Even if you have great oral hygiene, this is an inevitable effect of aging dentures and a sign they need to be replaced.<\/p>\n<h2>The Modern Alternative To Dentures<\/h2>\n<p>After having dentures for years, do you still feel like they\u2019re a good fit for your lifestyle? Some people don\u2019t know that they have other options available to them to replace their missing teeth. Dental implants in Richardson replace the entire structure of your teeth from the root up to prevent jawbone deterioration. They also offer a more stable and stronger base for your dentures to be secured to rather than simply\u00a0resting in your gums. The best way to learn whether dental implants are a good solution for you is to schedule a consultation with your dentist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Afshin Azmoodeh has been providing his community of Richardson with comprehensive dental care for over 20 years.
