What are the steps in achieving proper denture fit! Mine don’t. It has been 10 months since my surgery. I was not explained quality fitting!
Hi Trina, very sorry to hear that you are not getting proper fit with your denture, but these can be corrected with the help of Relining or Rebasing based on the problem with your Denture and your Dentist can do it if the problem is identified.
As explained the full denture allows the crushing of hard foods. BUT what if the full denture was comfortable to wear all day long ???
Actually a Full Denture or Complete Denture will be prepared in such a way that it is comfortable to wear all day long. You need to remove it only while sleeping.
