Dentures<\/a> have helped countless people return to a whole and beautiful smile again. They give them the ability to enjoy a variety of foods and speak clearly with confidence. Additionally, modern dentures look so lifelike that people rarely know you are wearing them. While you can count on your restored smile for at least seven years, your prosthetic will need to eventually be replaced though. Here are four tell-tale signs that it\u2019s time to replace your dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Your Dentures are Loose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are designed to rest snugly on your gums. Natural suction will normally hold them in place; if you need a bit more security, you can always use denture adhesives. Therefore, if your prosthetic begins to become loose or ill-fitting, you need to visit your dentist. It may either need to be adjusted or replaced completely. If your denture no longer fits your mouth due to natural changes in the jawbone that occur over time, your dentist will recommend brand-new dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. You Begin to Have Difficulty Speaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you find yourself having difficulty saying certain words that you used to have no problem pronouncing? Or perhaps your speech is a bit slurred? It is likely due to denture slippage. If your prosthetic keeps sliding around in your mouth, it can not only be annoying and embarrassing but keep you from wanting to engage with others. Once you visit your dentist and they fix or replace your denture, you can talk and laugh freely once again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Your Mouth Feels Irritated or Uncomfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your denture is fitted perfectly to your mouth, you can eat, speak, and smile with ease. Once you begin to notice pain or discomfort, it is a sign that you may need new dentures. If you allow your ill-fitting denture to continue to rub uncomfortably on your gums, it can cause sores, lesions, and other oral health issues. You deserve a happy, healthy smile so don\u2019t put off a visit to your dental office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Your Dentures are Discolored or Damaged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do your dentures look quite different than when you first started wearing them? If they have chips, cracks, or staining, it\u2019s definitely time to get new ones. Staining can occur naturally over time due to certain darkly pigmented foods and drinks. Also, not only do you want a brighter smile, but you also don\u2019t want to risk further damage to your health by not addressing your denture damage. Bacteria can grow in the cracks and crevices of your dentures. By replacing your dentures, your smile will be bright and <\/em>healthy once again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
