Signs You Need a Denture Replacement 

At Great Lakes Dentures and Implants, we offer quality, durable complete and partial dentures to enhance your smile and quality of life. However, like any dental appliance, your dentures are not designed to last forever. The following are warning signs that it is time for a denture replacement. 

What Are Dentures? 

Dentures are removable oral prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth. At Great Lakes Dentures and Implants, we offer complete dentures for those who are missing all their teeth and partial dentures for those with some healthy natural teeth remaining. Our dentures are meticulously crafted to restore function and enhance your smile and quality of life. 

Key Signs You Need a Denture Replacement: 

The following are signs your dentures no longer fit or function the way they should: 

• Visible Signs of Wear and Tear: Look for signs of wear and tear, such as chips, cracks, or even significant staining that cannot be removed. These signs of deterioration can impact your oral health and the function of your dentures. 
• Your Dentures Feel Loose: One of the first signs dentures may need replacing is if they feel loose. A reline may help restore comfort and function, but in some cases, we may recommend a new set of dentures. 
• Increased Discomfort or Irritation: If your dentures start causing discomfort, sore spots, or irritation, it may be a sign that they no longer fit as well as they once did. We may need to adjust your dentures or may need to replace them altogether. 
• Difficulty Chewing or Speaking: When dentures do not fit properly or are damaged, you may find chewing painful or have trouble speaking clearly. If you notice sudden changes in your ability to chew your food or your speech becomes less clear, your dentures may need adjustment or replacement. 
• Your Dentures Keep Falling Out: If your dentures start slipping or falling out, this is a clear sign that your dentures require an adjustment or replacement. Make sure to schedule a consultation to get your smile back on track.
