Annual Exam
Regular professional cleaning and annual exams are one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of denture care. Daily home cleaning keeps dentures fresh, but it cannot remove the tartar and bacteria buildup that develops over time. At Cruzado Dentures in Ottawa, we provide thorough professional cleaning along with a full examination of your denture’s fit, condition, and the health of your gum tissue.
Catching small fit issues early is far less costly — and far more comfortable — than waiting until a reline or replacement becomes necessary.
What Happens At An Annual Exam?
- Professional cleaning that removes buildup daily care cannot reach
- Full inspection of the denture’s fit, structure, and wear
- Examination of gum tissue and oral health
- Recommendations for any adjustments, repairs, or future care
- A clear, honest conversation about the long-term condition of your dentures
Frequently Asked Questions About Cleaning & Annual Exams?
We recommend at least once a year. If you notice staining, odour, or buildup between visits, come in sooner — it is always better to address these things early.
Yes. Many fit changes happen gradually and are not obvious until they have become uncomfortable. An annual exam is the best way to stay ahead of problems before they affect your daily life.
