A common misconception among denture wearers is that once you receive your dentures, there isn’t a need for regular dental visits any more. This belief could not be further from the truth. Even without natural teeth, your oral health requires consistent monitoring to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and your mouth remains healthy. At Christina Brinda DDS in North Canton, we emphasize that annual exams are just as critical for denture wearers as they are for patients with natural teeth. As your trusted North Canton Dentist and dentist for dentures, Dr.Christina Brinda provides comprehensive care that goes beyond simple adjustments. This ensures that your smile serves you well for many years to come.
Why “Set It and Forget It” Does Not Work
Your mouth is a dynamic environment that constantly changes. Over time, the gum tissue and jawbone that support your dentures naturally shrink and reshape. This is a process known as resorption. Because your dentures are rigid and do not change shape with your mouth. This mismatch eventually leads to a loose fit. If you skip regular check-ups, you might not notice these subtle changes until they cause significant problems.
Sore Spots and Irritation
Loose dentures rub against gum tissue, creating painful ulcers.
Difficulty Eating
A poor fit reduces chewing efficiency, potentially affecting your nutrition and digestion.
Bone Loss
Ill-fitting dentures can actually accelerate the loss of jawbone density, making it harder to wear dentures in the future.
What Happens During Your Denture Exam?
When you visit Christina Brinda DDS for your annual denture check-up, we perform a thorough evaluation that covers much more than just the fit of your appliance.
Fit and Function Assessment
Dr. Christina Brinda checks how your dentures rest on your gums and how they function when you bite and speak. We look for stability, retention and proper alignment. If we detect looseness, we may recommend a denture reline to resurface the inside of the denture for a snug and renewed fit.
Oral Cancer Screening
This is a vital part of your visit. We examine your gums, tongue, throat as well as soft tissues for any signs of abnormalities. Early detection is key. This screening is essential even if you have no natural teeth.
Structural Integrity Check
We inspect the denture itself for hairline cracks, worn teeth or bent clasps for partial dentures. Via these types of inspections we catch these issues early prevents embarrassing breakage later.
Professional Cleaning
We can professionally clean your dentures to remove stubborn tartar and plaque buildup that regular brushing might miss. This professional cleaning keeps your smile fresh and bright.
Protect Your Smile and Your Health
Preventive care is always more effective and affordable than fixing neglected problems. By maintaining a schedule of regular check-ups, you ensure that your full dentures or partial dentures continue to function like natural teeth. This allows you to eat, speak and laugh with confidence. Do not wait for discomfort to signal a problem. Let us help you maintain a healthy mouth and a perfect fit.

General Dentist Brinda is the best dentist I ever been to . If you’ve been holding off going to the dentist, whether for just cleaning or getting wisdom teeth out , go here . The staff is so welcoming and friendly and Dr. Brinda is so knowledgeable and walked me through every procedure from start to finish and all the expectations. She is a perfectionist that wants you to look your best and goes out of her way to do just that . I went in for a whitening treatment and cleaning and it was the best experience that I had at a dental practice! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to feel comfortable,well cared for and informed, while receiving best treatment for their smile.

Dr. Brinda is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to! My wife and I live in Michigan and we make the drive every year to go see her because she’s that good! Whether it’s going in for cleaning/whitening or taking care of a cavity, I always have a great experience going here. I’ve never really enjoyed going to the doctor for anything, but I can honestly say I enjoy coming here for my yearly checkups. Dr. Brinda is very knowledgeable and extremely professional, and she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome and cared for. Highly highly recommend!

Dr. Brinda and her amazing office team are lovely; down to earth and outstandingly competent. Their main focus, I have no doubt from all of my visits, is their patient’s oral health. This team is professional and efficient, but also what we all want in a medical team of any sort, very knowledgeable. I truly appreciate all of the care and concern this office has offered me. This is truly a top notch team and one you can thoroughly entrust with your dental health. Thank you to you all.

I personally was shadowing Dr. Brinda's office for my Dental Hygienist Program, and it was an amazing experience! Dr.Brinda and her wonderful team are constantly working to make sure things are sterilized, wiped down, and organized for your visit! There was nobody sitting around, but everyone was helping other people out! Staff at Dr. Brinda's office was respectful, sweet and supportive! Dr. Brinda personally took time with patients, and treated them like a person, not just a patient. She asked recurring patients about an update on their personal lives from the patients last visit, and it was amazing to see the patients smile when she remembered. Overall, from someone who saw behind the scenes of this office, I would gladly come there to visit just to see the amazing work they do. I highly recommend Dr. Brinda's Office!

I normally don’t make recommendations or write testimonials for services rendered. I expect and demand the highest patient care for my hard earned buck, period. I have been a patient for several years. Her team of professionals are exceeding my expectations regarding knowledge, kindness, skills, patient care, and my well being. Beginning from the initial phone call to schedule an appointment, through all of the facets of dental care provided, and processing the insurance payment, each employee earns a five star on my every visit.

The most friendly staff I have ever seen in a dentist office! Dr Brinda was super knowledgeable about some underlying health conditions and my pregnancy and was super through and cautious! Say bye bye to any anxiety from dentistry work at this office it’s feels welcoming and homey and very clean.
