Emergency Denture Repair in Albuquerque
Dentures, or more precisely complete removable dentures are false teeth used by individuals who have no teeth left on either the maxillary or the mandibular arch or even both. People normally become edentulous (lacking teeth) either due to trauma or ineffective oral hygiene.
Removable dentures can help a patient attain better chewing abilities and enhance the aesthetic appeal of their lips and the face in general. But as good as they may be, nothing lasts forever and quite often, dentures may become loose.
Loose dentures are usually cause by wear, (either gum wear or denture wear) of your old dentures. Weight loss is another factor that can contribute to loose dentures. In fact, losing a couple of pounds can affect your denture.
The simple truth is that nothing is worse than having loose dentures. They are not only embarrassing but can cause sore spots. Fortunately, you can have your loose dentures fixed in the Albuquerque area using denture relining items of professional use from us or using a denture reline. We have professional denture reline kits for you and soft liners which are ideal for your gums.
Liner, liners, Soft reliner, reliners and soft denture reliners are all made of soft denture material which helps protect the gum from the hard plastic dentures. They can also be used by denture users who have no gum structure. If you wish to go with a comfortable fit on your gums, other than a soft liner, then a soft denture reline may be the best alternative. They will always be more popular than soft liners because soft denture reliners give a more comfortable fit on the user. We have all these kits available for public use and if you wish to get one, we are just a call away.
