If your dentures need to be repaired, the resulting symptoms may prompt you to contact your dental clinic . Unfortunately, some signs of faulty dentures may be subtle and easy to miss. Here are three ways to tell if your dentures need repair:

A surgical or immediate denture is the term used for a denture that is placed in the mouth the same day the teeth are removed. The denture is made prior to your surgery day, and sent over to the dental office the day before. This is the most common way to get a first set of dentures because it means you don't have to walk around toothless while your mouth heals. Not only does it provide you with a new smile right away, but the denture acts as a bandage, protecting the gums and reducing swelling and bleeding.

Well-made dentures are very durable, but they are not indestructible and should be considered as no more permanent than eyeglasses. Loose dentures are the result of bone loss and changing jaw alignment which can cause sore spots from the rubbing of the acrylic against the gums.
