Size & Fitting
Size matters when it comes to dentures, which is why one of the most important steps your dentist will take is measuring the perfect fit. When you get your first set of dentures made, your dentist will make several impressions, so your denture fits like Cinderella’s glass slipper: made just for you. However, life isn’t perfect, and sometimes your dentures won’t fit properly. You may also just need a little time to get used to your new dentures. Whatever query you have about dentures and fit, we’re here to answer it.
