Why Are Denture Exams Important?
Even if you no longer have natural teeth, your oral health continues to evolve. Over time, the shape and structure of your oral tissues and jawbone naturally change, which can significantly impact the way your dentures fit, feel, and function. A poor fit may lead to discomfort, difficulty eating or speaking, and even irritation or infection of the gums. That’s why it’s essential to have your dentures and oral health evaluated regularly. An annual denture exam with Dr. Ali Obeidi, a highly experienced prosthodontic specialist, allows for early detection of any issues and timely adjustments or maintenance.
What’s Included in a Denture Checkup?
At Elite Dental Specialists, your denture maintenance visitincludes a thorough evaluation of your mouth, appliance, and oral health:
1. Medical & Dental History Update
We’ll review any recent medical conditions, medications, or dental changes that could affect your denture fit or oral health.

Early detection is key. We examine your mouth for any signs of precancerous or cancerous lesions, gum disease, or abnormal tissue changes.

Changes in bone or gum shape can affect how your denture fits. We’ll check for any recession, inflammation, or bone lossthat may require attention or relining.

We’ll assess your denture for:
- Looseness or shifting
- Irritations or sore spots
- Bite alignment or speech issues
- Cracks, chips, or worn-down teeth
If adjustments are needed, Dr. Obeidi will recommend relines, repairs, or replacement optionstailored to your needs.
