Denture Reline Services in Merrimack, NH
At Merrimack Smiles, we understand the importance of a well-fitting denture for your comfort, oral health, and overall confidence. Over time, dentures can change fit due to natural bone loss, tissue changes, or regular wear and tear. That’s why our denture reline services are designed to restore a secure fit, allowing you to smile with confidence and enjoy daily activities without discomfort.
What is a Denture Reline?
A denture reline reshapes the underside of your denture base with new material, tailored to match the current shape of your gums. This process restores the custom fit that you rely on for comfort and confidence.
Fast and Convenient Denture Reline Service
At Merrimack Smiles, we typically reline and repair most dentures in just one visit. Our dedicated team provides quick, efficient care so you can get back to enjoying your smile!
Why Do Denture Wearers Experience Jawbone Loss?
Natural teeth have roots that extend into the jawbone, stimulating blood flow through chewing and biting to keep the bone healthy. However, traditional dentures rest on top of your gums, applying pressure to your jawbone without providing root stimulation. This can lead to jawbone shrinkage, known as bone reabsorption. While dental implants can reduce this risk by acting as roots, bone loss around implants may still occur for other reasons, such as gum disease.
Factors Contributing to Jawbone Loss in Traditional Denture Wearers
- Improperly Fitted Dentures: Poorly fitted dentures can lead to uneven pressure on the jaw, accelerating bone loss.
- Continuous Wear: Wearing dentures without breaks can put constant pressure on your gums and jawbone. Removing them while sleeping or during the day helps reduce this pressure.
- Inadequate Cleaning: Proper denture cleaning helps prevent harmful bacteria buildup, which can cause gum infection and hasten bone loss.
Regular Visits with Our Merrimack Smiles Team
In addition to your daily care at home, we recommend visiting us for professional cleanings and examinations of your denture and oral health. During these visits, our team will:
- Review your home care routine and recommend improvements.
- Assess the fit and integrity of your denture.
- Check the health of your gums and underlying bone structure.
- Perform a professional cleaning of your denture, gums, and natural teeth.
These steps ensure your denture remains in excellent shape and that your mouth stays healthy, preventing issues like gum disease, bone loss, and challenges to your denture’s fit and function.
