Denture Problems...
 Many denture
wearers 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.
For most patients, the 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.
