What are denture teeth made from and where are they fitted?
Denture teeth are artificial teeth set into a removable base, commonly made from acrylic resin or related denture polymers.
Chewing wear, fractures, staining, loose fit, and changes in the gums or jawbone can make a denture need repair, adjustment, relining, or replacement.
How should you care for denture teeth between meals?
Clean the denture and mouth daily, remove the denture for the advised rest period, and store it as directed when out.
Have the fit checked when chewing becomes difficult, the denture rocks, sore spots appear, or the teeth look visibly flattened.
When should worn or damaged denture teeth be checked?
Seek care for ulcers that do not settle, a broken denture, sudden looseness, or inability to eat comfortably.
Prompt assessment is important when a denture has sharp edges or causes repeated injury to the gums.
