Do your dentures fit?

Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia, Dr. Song

 

Age brings wisdom and the benefit of a unique perspective that can only be achieved through your life experiences. It can be a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, it also brings with it dental problems that may only be resolved with dentures. Okay, you have false teeth. That should be the end of it, right? Wrong. Your dentures will never change (assuming you don't play hockey or plan on running over them any time soon), but your mouth will.
 
The gum ridges in our mouths can shrink with age, which causes dentures to become loose. Bone can also shrink, causing jaws not to line up properly. Ill fitting dentures can cause sore spots in your mouth and stomach problems, the result of not being able to chew food properly. A loose denture could also cause changes in your facial features, not to mention become a nuisance the next time you go sky diving.

If your dentures are loose, painful or just don't feel right, call our office for a consultation. They may need to be adjusted, relined or completely remade (if they are completely worn out). You may have noticed some products that claim to fix unsavvy dentures. When we make repairs in our own on site dental lab right here in the heart of New York, we use quality materials that are only available to dentists. Over the counter product often contain harsh chemicals that only make matters worse.

If you're not satisfied with the look or feel of your dentures, please don't hesitate to call our office at 212-689-0024 conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan for an evaluation! It's important to keep future dental appointments as well so that your fit can be continually evaluated and you can be screened for oral cancer and gum disease. Your health and comfort are important to us; we ensure you we will give you a reason to smile!
 

If you have questions regarding dentures, please call our office at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today!


Best Regards,
