Your dentures<\/a> have helped you enjoy countless meals and hours with friends and family, but it seems they are starting to cause more problems than they solve. If you find yourself consistently worrying about your dentures, you might need a replacement. Of course, you don\u2019t want to spend the money if you don\u2019t have to, so here are 4 definitive signs that it\u2019s time to give your smile an upgrade.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They Affect What You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has to slightly adjust their diet right after getting dentures, but most patients adapt within a few weeks, and then they don\u2019t think twice about their new teeth when they sit down for something delicious. However, if you\u2019ve started avoiding certain foods you didn\u2019t previously because you know they\u2019ll dislodge your dentures or place uncomfortable pressure on your gums, this could indicate you need a new prosthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Time Between Relines is Shortening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, a quick reline is all dentures need to feel snug and comfortable again. This consists of the dentist applying a paste-like material to the underside of the prosthetic to alter the shape. It\u2019s normal to need a reline every year or so\u2026but are you having to get them every few months? This could mean the base of your denture or the underlying gums have changed enough to where it would be easier to get a complete update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dentures Feel Loose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is worse than worrying that your teeth are going to fall out at an inopportune time. A denture should feel tight and secure, but if minor adjustments from your dentist aren\u2019t restoring this stability, a replacement may be the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re Having Trouble Speaking Clearly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similar to eating, it takes a bit for someone to get used to speaking with their dentures, but the adjustment period is typically only a few weeks. Do you find yourself struggling to say certain words or syllables that weren\u2019t a problem in the recent past? This could point to an issue with your denture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, if you\u2019re having any kind of issue with your denture, all you need to do is visit a dentist, and they\u2019ll let you know whether a replacement or simple repair can help. The key is to not put things off\u2014you need your teeth to live your life to the fullest, and your dentist can help you focus on what truly matters in your day-to-day while not stressing about your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
