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.
