\"Person<\/a><\/p>\n

Losing a permanent tooth may be an embarrassing situation, but it\u2019s certainly not an uncommon one. According to the American College of Prosthodontics, nearly 120 million Americans are missing at least one permanent tooth and more than 36 million are missing all of their natural teeth! One of the easiest tooth replacement options available are dentures, which can help you get back to using and enjoying your beautiful smile right away! However, they\u2019re not meant to last forever. Here are five tell-tale signs that it\u2019s time to see your Fresno dentist to replace your dentures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Your Dentures Look Dirty<\/h2>\n

Although your dentures look solid, they\u2019re actually porous, which means they\u2019re covered in tiny, microscopic holes. Your dentures become discolored when bacteria accumulate in these small spaces, and they should be replaced to protect your mouth against bacterial infection.<\/p>\n

2. Your Dentures Have Visible Damage<\/h2>\n

Dentures that have visible chips or cracks aren\u2019t safe to use and should be replaced right away. If you continue to use them, they could break inside your mouth and damage your gums, tongue, and other soft tissues.<\/p>\n

3. Chewing or Speaking Becomes Difficult<\/h2>\n

It will take a little time to get used to eating and speaking with your dentures when you first get them, but these issues shouldn\u2019t reappear later. Difficulty eating and \u201cslushed\u201d speech are often the result of ill-fitting dentures. If your new smile is becoming more of a hassle than a help, it\u2019s time to replace your dentures.<\/p>\n

4. It Feels Like Your Dentures Are Loose<\/h2>\n

The tight fit between your dentures and your gums should be enough to hold them in place in your daily life. However, your jawbone and gum ridge change with age, which disrupt that snug placement and cause your dentures to feel loose or slip out of place when you smile, laugh, or talk.<\/p>\n

5. Jaw Soreness or Gum Irritation<\/h2>\n

Your dentures are custom-made to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. If they no longer fit but instead rest unevenly along your gum ridge, you may begin to experience soreness in your jaw. This could also cause inflammation, discomfort, or irritation in the gum tissue. To relieve pain and keep your mouth healthy, your dentures should be replaced.<\/p>\n

Replace Your Dentures Permanently with Dental Implants<\/h2>\n

Dentures typically have a lifespan of 7-10 years. If you\u2019re tired of ill-fitting dentures that need to be replaced all the time, dental implants in Fresno offer a much more permanent solution. These restorations are integrated safely and comfortably directly into your jawbone, which allows them to look, feel, and act just like a natural tooth. Unlike dentures, they support your oral health both above and below the gumline and can last a lifetime with regular brushing and flossing. For a beautiful, functional, and natural-looking smile, talk to your dentist about this modern tooth replacement option!<\/p>\n
