Common denture problems experienced by Miami area residents

Dentures are often considered an affordable, practical solution for patients who are missing natural teeth. Full cosmetic dentures are used to replace an entire arch of teeth, which may have been lost or extracted. These dentures use dental-grade acrylics that are made to look like natural teeth and gum tissue. Thanks to continued improvements in dental technologies and techniques, patients can enjoy natural-looking restorations that far exceed the quality of dentures of the past.

However, many patients who receive full cosmetic dentures experience a number of common denture problems. Thankfully, many of these concerns are fixable with the help of a quality dental team. Miami Modern Dental is here to assist patients with these issues and help them find a way of restoring their smile in a way that best suits their needs and budget.

Here are some common denture problems experienced by patients:

Loose, ill-fitting dentures

Patients who are dealing with ill-fitting dentures have a number of options to address. First, seeing the dentist is one way to ensure the dentures fit in the best way possible. If everything is adjusted correctly, patients can correct this problem with special denture adhesives or even the placement of dental implants for stabilization.

Stained dentures

Certain foods and drinks can cause staining of the dental acrylics. By taking proper care of the dentures, patients can improve their longevity. Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. can provide patients with the information they need to clean the dentures, including some denture cleaning tips and techniques to reduce the effect of staining.

Broken dentures

Dentures may experience breakage over time. The teeth and acrylic gums can chip and break. In situations such as this, patients may need to have them repaired or new ones made. This is why patients are encouraged to place their dentures in a safe place when they are not wearing them.

Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. are excited to welcome patients to their practice for general and cosmetic dentistry procedures. Dentures are used in situations where patients are seeking temporary or economical solutions to their dental concerns. The team at Miami Modern Dental is here to help and can provide patients with ways to address common denture problems that may arise.
