In particular, they look and act like natural pearly whites to restore your smile. However, did you know that dentures themselves can need replacement? Indeed, they only last a few years before they stop working. You might then wonder how to know when it\u2019s time to replace your own. Well, your Huntington Beach dentist is here with an answer. Read on to learn three signs that your dentures need replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Don\u2019t Fit Well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great pair of dentures stays in place while you chew and speak. In other words, it\u2019ll have a tight fit between itself and your gums that keeps it from falling out of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given this fact, you\u2019ll want to replace your dentures if they stop fitting well. Adhesives or creams could help in the meantime, but they would only serve as short-term fixes. The lasting solution would be to get new dentures that match the recent changes in your jawbone\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Painful to Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentures work well, they won\u2019t cause pain or discomfort. On the contrary, their fit ought to be a comfortable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, those that trigger pain don\u2019t work well and ought to be replaced. After all, it\u2019s better to have prosthetic teeth that don\u2019t hurt. Plus, the discomfort is a sign that your dentures aren\u2019t in good shape in terms of fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Make it Hard to Chew or Speak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>True, learning to chew or speak with a new pair of dentures can take time. That said, this adjustment period should only take place for a few days or weeks. With time, an excellent pair of dentures will let you eat and talk just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suddenly struggle to chew food or speak words, your restorations may not fit well anymore. More specifically, they might be getting loose and making you slur words or bite weakly. In that case, the best way to solve your problem is by getting replacement dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Damaged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures lose some of their functionality when they suffer damage. For example, a pair with broken teeth won\u2019t look good and may be less effective for chewing. Similarly, those with chipped bases won\u2019t adhere to your gums as well. To remedy these faults, it\u2019s best to repair your new teeth or get replacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there are times when you\u2019ll need to replace dentures to protect your smile. Therefore, remember the signs above so you\u2019ll be ready for that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificviewdentalgroup.com\/\"><em>Pacific View Dental Group<\/em><\/a><em> is based in Huntington Beach, CA.
