Case Description
I recently discovered that my mom had a bad impression made from her former dentist. She has bought 2 pairs of dentures and neither of them fit. The dentist is having a hard time; he believes that her mouth is too narrow for dentures as well. Do you know if it is possible to have dentures fit correctly when the dentist made poor impressions prior to her teath being pulled? Can a mouth be too small for dentures? Thank you in advance for your help.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Impressions are important for the denture to fit well. However, if the denture has been made twice there is more going on. The fitting of the denture strongly depends on how much bone is remaining. If you have any further questions feel free to call (713)266-4222.
