Your dentures are important to the way you look
and feel. That’s why it’s important to maintain dentures
and ensure they perform at their optimum so you can
perform at your best.
A regular check-up with your Denturist is the most
effective way for you and your dentures to get the care
and attention you both deserve.

WHY IS A RECARE APPOINTMENT NECESSARY?
TISSUES AND BONE
Over time, your mouth goes through considerable changes.
Tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone (resorption) on
which your dentures rest will occur. Since your dentures do not
change, they may no longer fit like they once did.
ORAL CAVITY
Having an annual oral exam may prevent or help detect the
existence of oral cancer or other abnormal conditions.
MEDICAL OR DENTAL HISTORY
Updating both medical and dental history is an important
step towards quality denture treatment.
FIT AND BITE OF YOUR EXISTING DENTURE
Worn out dentures can cause improper fit and bite which can
lead to other problems. They can also cause changes in your ability
to bite, your speech and your appearance.
THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR DENTURES
Your Denturist will check for cracks, chips, scratches, and worn
or loose teeth.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR RECALL,RECARE VISIT
- update your dental and medical history

- check the integrity of your denture
- check the esthetics, stability and the bite
