Denture Adjustments

Denture Adjustments

Even a well-made denture may require adjustments to achieve the best possible comfort and fit. High spots, overextended borders, pressure areas, sharp edges, undercuts, and an unbalanced bite can all cause discomfort and make it difficult for patients to comfortably wear their dentures.
Proper denture adjustments are an important part of successful treatment and can make a major difference in comfort, function, and overall satisfaction. Small refinements often have a significant impact on how the dentures feel and perform day to day.
At SmileCraft Dentures, careful attention is given to identifying and correcting the source of discomfort rather than simply removing material at random. Experience matters when adjusting dentures, because proper adjustments require an understanding of pressure distribution, border extension, bite balance, and how the denture functions inside the mouth.
