When To Consider Adding To Your Dentures

Recognising when you might need to add teeth or clasps to your dentures can help maintain their effectiveness and your oral health. For instance:

Loss of Additional Teeth: If you lose more natural teeth after receiving your dentures, adding new teeth to your existing dentures can restore your ability to chew and speak effectively.
Lack of Stability: If your dentures have become loose or less stable over time, adding clasps can provide the necessary support by securing them more firmly to your remaining natural teeth.
Changes in Oral Structure: Natural changes in your mouth, such as bone resorption or gum recession, can affect the fit of your dentures. Adding clasps can help accommodate these changes, as well as help to improve the overall fit.

Opting for the addition of teeth or clasps to your dentures can provide the following benefits:

Restored Functionality: Adding teeth can restore full functionality to your dentures, allowing you to eat and speak with ease, as you did before losing additional teeth.
Increased Stability: Clasps provide added stability, preventing your dentures from shifting during daily activities, which can significantly enhance your confidence and comfort.
Cost-Effective Solution: Rather than replacing your entire set of dentures, adding teeth or clasps is a more affordable way to address changes in your dental situation.
