Is it time for a denture check?

By Beerwah Denture Clinic

If your dentures feel loose, uncomfortable or move when you eat or speak, it may be time for a professional denture health check.

As we age, the bone and gums beneath dentures naturally shrink and change shape, creating gaps that reduce the suction needed to keep dentures securely in place. This can lead to rocking, sore gums, inflammation and, if left untreated, long-term damage to the underlying tissues.

Fortunately, a denture reline or a new denture can restore a secure fit, improving comfort, support and confidence for everyday activities such as eating, talking and smiling. The Australian Dental Prosthetist Association recommends replacing dentures before they reach eight years of age to help prevent ongoing damage.

At Beerwah Denture Clinic, senior prosthetist Kim offers full denture health checks to assess the fit and condition of your dentures before recommending the best solution. Kim joined the clinic in 2022 and has been practising since 2019, earning a reputation for her caring and compassionate approach.

The clinic also provides same-day denture relines and repairs whenever possible, helping patients get back to enjoying life with minimal disruption.

Beerwah Denture Clinic also supplies custom-fitted mouthguards for individuals and sporting teams, with special group rates available.

Visit Beerwah Denture Clinic, 74 Simpson Street, Beerwah, or call Kim on 0475 753 348 to book your free consultation and keep your smile comfortable, secure and healthy.
