Denture Problems... We Can Help in the Cerritos, Los Alamitos and Long Beach areas
 

Many denture wearers in the Cerritos area breathe a sigh of relief when they get their first pair of dentures because they think their dental problems are over.  What they soon realize, however, is that have just traded some old problems for new ones.

Even the best dentures can't compete with natural teeth in ability to chew food efficiently and comfortably.  As the years go by, the supporting ridges that remain after teeth have been removed gradually change and get smaller.

We believe that for most patients, their dentures need to be "relined" or "refitted" every 2-4 years so that the denture will conform to the changing ridge.  A large change in weight can also alter the shape of the mouth, causing changes in the fit.  Many medications can cause you to have a dry mouth, and will effect the stability and retention of your dentures.

If you have questions about your dentures, please call us at (562) 920-1731 for answers.
