Denture Exams & Maintenance in Omaha and Millard, NE
Your dentures are an investment and require care and attention to maintain their optimum performance. The fit of your dentures will have a profound effect on your oral tissues and health. An annual examination by Dr. Nielsen, Dr. Krajicek or Dr. Ferrante will help ensure your denture is functioning properly.
When to Schedule a Denture Exam
Plan to have your dentures checked regularly, even if they feel comfortable. Contact us sooner if they become loose, cause sore spots, affect your bite or speech, or develop a crack or broken tooth. Bring your dentures to the appointment and tell us about any changes you have noticed.
Medical and Dental History Update
Updating your medical and dental history with any significant changes is critical to maintaining your oral health and well-being. A variety of medical and dental conditions can alter a denture’s fit.
Annual Oral Exam
Annual examinations can assist in detecting oral abnormalities including cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. Early detection of these conditions is generally beneficial for treatment.
Tissue and Bone Assessment
Ill-fitting dentures may cause bone and tissue changes and need to be corrected for your oral health. Our practice can assess and recommend solutions to suit your personal needs.
Comfort, Fit, and Integrity of Dentures
Bite problems, speech impediments, and tissue irritations can be caused by an ill-fitting denture and should be remedied. Leaving this condition unchecked can lead to complicated situations in the future. Drs. Nielsen, Krajicek and Ferrante can assess your dentures for cracks, chips, and broken or loose teeth and suggest solutions.
