What You Can Expect To Happen At A Denture Recall Visit

A new set of dentures can change your world, especially if you have experienced tooth loss. While some dentures are about restoring a smile, they can also improve your bite, speech, and facial structure alignment, and boost your self-esteem. But the process takes time, and as a result, you will likely be scheduled for a denture recall visit several months after your “final” appointment. 

What Is A Recall Visit? 

A denture recall visit is an important step in the overall denture process because it is an opportunity for the dental hygienist to assess your overall dental health. It also allows your dental clinician to ensure your dentures fit properly, spot issues, make necessary adjustments, offer advice, and it’s an opportunity for you to voice any concerns you may have. 

What You Can Expect To Happen & What The Dentist Will Look For 

When you visit your Camden dentist for a recall visit, the dental prosthetist will ask you a variety of questions about your experience. They will want to know how you have adjusted to your dentures and carry out an oral check-up to make sure there are no noticeable issues. The dental prosthetist will also make sure there aren’t any noticeable changes in your speech, bite, and facial structure, as well as the position of any remaining natural teeth. You will be provided with a review of proper care to make sure your dentures remain in good health. 

They will also carry out an integrity check, which is to ensure they aren’t slipping, damaged, or have structural problems. They will also carry out cleaning and polishing if necessary. The key to a great set of dentures is that they look as natural as possible. So, if you have remaining natural teeth, the dentist will clean and polish them to maintain the colour match. 

Your dental prosthetist may provide you with advice depending on your circumstances. They will discuss the options available to you according to your individual needs. 

If you have remaining natural teeth, your dental prosthetist may combine your standard dental check with your recall visit. It will look much the same as described above, with the potential of X-Rays. 

Ultimately, a recall visit is your opportunity to learn more about your denture care, and it’s your dental prosthetist’s opportunity to make sure you are adjusting well and that your oral health is in good standing. 

It’s common to forget certain things when you’re on the spot so, it’s a good idea to make a list of issues or questions that you have so you can discuss these with your dental prosthetist during your recall visit. 

What You Can Do If You Experience Pain Before Your Recall Visit 

If you find yourself experiencing pain before you have an appointment or before your recall visit is due, you can simply reach out to your dental prosthetist and make an appointment. Do not wait until your recall visit to seek help, the sooner you raise a problem the quicker it can be resolved. If you let it go, it can lead to a serious problem later. More importantly, you don’t need to live in discomfort.

From my first phone call to Tomika explaining my situation with my teeth and how bad they were and that I didn't know where to start, to having my first free appointment with Elias was the best thing I have ever done. Tomika is very easy to talk to, friendly and professional. Elias, well he is great, told me exactly what he could achieve, the cost and the timeframe and he was spot on. Read more

Elias prepared a full set of dentures for my 90 year old mother. The service he provided was exceptional, using current technology effectively to create a set of dentures which were far superior to what she had previously had. Elias also made it very clear that my mother could go back at any time if minor adjustments were required. He gives meticulous attention to detail. Tamika ensures that appointments run to time.

State of the art technology and skills and ability to match. I went to the clinic highly anxious ( my previous dental encounter at another clinic resulted in a panic attack and blacking out twice whilst in the chair) due to the poor integrity of my teeth, as a direct result of a health condition I had lost the majority of my teeth and the remaining were nothing short of a train wreck. Elias treated me the utmost respect and kindness. Read more

Faqs

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. At Aesthetic Dental and Denture Clinic, we offer two types of denture, complete and partial. Complete dentures are necessary when all your natural teeth are missing. A partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain. If you are having extractions, we can also provide you with an immediate denture. This is often an interim denture so you can avoid the embarrassment of being without teeth.

A denture usually lasts between five and seven years. Time and natural changes in the mouth will affect the fit and wear patterns of your denture. If your denture is worn and doesn’t fit as well as it used to, it may require a repair or reline. Having your denture checked every two years will help to ensure a proper fit and by following your denture care instructions, you’ll extend the life of your replacement teeth. 

Dentures don’t last forever. Dentures usually last between 5 to 7 years and need to be relined every 1 to 2 years. Over time dentures become worn and don’t fit as well, so it’s important to reline them regularly. The better you follow your denture care instructions, the longer your replacement teeth will last. 

It is advised that you visit your dentist every 6 months for a check-up and clean. This will help to prevent any major oral health issues from occurring. However, if you have bad breath, bleeding gums, discoloured teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, tooth or jaw pain it is advised to make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible.

At Aesthetic Dental and Denture Clinic, we know attending the dentist can be difficult for nervous and anxious patients. We offer a number of options to help make your next visit as calm and stress-free as possible. Contact us today and a friendly dental technician will be able to give you all the options available.
