Recall and Recare
Your dentures are important to the way you look and feel. That’s why it’s important to maintain dentures and ensure they perform at their optimum so you can perform at your best.

A regular check-up with your Denturist is the most effective way for you and your dentures to get the care and attention you both deserve.

Over time, your mouth goes through considerable changes.
WHY IS A RECARE APPOINTMENT NECESSARY?

TISSUES AND BONE
Over time, your mouth goes through considerable changes. Tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone (resorption) on which your dentures rest will occur. Since your dentures do not change, they may no longer fit like they once did.

ORAL CAVITY
Having an annual oral exam may prevent or help detect the existence of oral cancer or other abnormal conditions.

MEDICAL OR DENTAL HISTORY
Updating both medical and dental history is an important step towards quality denture treatment.

FIT AND BITE OF YOUR EXISTING DENTURE
Worn out dentures can cause improper fit and bite which can lead to other problems. They can also cause changes in your ability to bite, your speech and your appearance.

THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR DENTURES
Your Denturist will check for cracks, chips, scratches, and worn or loose teeth.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR RECALL, RECARE VISIT

  • update your dental and medical history
  • intra oral examination
  • check the integrity of your denture
  • check the esthetics, stability and the bite
  • discuss options available to you based on your needs
  • review of oral hygiene procedures and denture care
  • cleaning and polishing of your dentures if required
