What Is Denture Realignment?

Over time, the shape of your gums and jaw changes. This is a natural process, but it often causes dentures to become loose, making eating and speaking more challenging. Denture realignment adjusts the base of your dentures so they fit snugly and comfortably again.

At Marks Dentures Lab in Millcreek, we use state-of-the-art technology, such as the MC X5 Milling Machine and an intraoral scanner, to provide a precise, long-lasting realignment. Our digital imaging tools ensure accuracy to the smallest detail, giving you the confidence to enjoy everyday life again.

Signs You May Need Denture Realignment

It’s not always easy to tell when you need denture realignment, but here are some key signs to watch for:

Loose or slipping dentures: If your dentures move when you eat, talk, or smile, it’s time to consider an adjustment.
Soreness or discomfort: Ill-fitting dentures can irritate your gums, leading to discomfort or even sores.
Changes in your bite: If your bite feels uneven or doesn’t align properly, your dentures may no longer fit as intended.
Difficulty eating or speaking: Trouble chewing or slurring your words may indicate that your dentures need realignment.
Visible wear and tear: Over time, the inner lining of your dentures can wear down, impacting fit and function.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, visiting Marks Dentures Lab for expert evaluation and care is essential.

Caring For Your Dentures After Realignment

Once your dentures have been realigned, proper care will help maintain their fit and longevity. Here are some tips to keep them in great shape:

Clean daily: Brush your dentures gently with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner.
Rinse after eating: This prevents food particles from irritating.
Handle them carefully: When removing or inserting your dentures, make sure you handle them over a soft surface (like a towel) to prevent breakage if they are dropped.
Visit us regularly: Our team recommends follow-up visits to monitor your dentures and address any new concerns as they arise.

Following these care practices and visiting Marks Dentures Lab for routine checkups can ensure your dentures stay fitting and functional for years.
