Your dentures are an investment. They require the proper care and maintenance to maintain their optimum performance. The way your dentures fit affects your oral tissues and your health. An annual examination by Dr. Mandefro will help ensure your denture is functioning properly.
Keep your medical and dental history up-to-date with changes. This helps maintain your oral health and wellness. Various medical and dental conditions can alter how your dentures fit.
