Should I Take Dentures Out to Exercise?

Mile High Smiles in Lakewood, CO

What You need to Know...

Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and placed back into your mouth. Over the years, dentures have evolved and are now more natural looking and comfortable than ever before.

Fortunately, wearing dentures does not have to alter your lifestyle. Here at Mile High Smiles, we recommend dentures to some patients. We ensure they are comprised from resilient materials that offer optimal comfort. In addition, we customize dentures to fit your mouth so you don’t have to worry about any rubbing or irritation.

If you exercise on a regular basis, you may be wondering whether you should take your dentures out to do so. The truth is if your dentures are properly fitted, they should not get in the way of your workout and can be left in. There shouldn’t be any issues if you go for a walk around your neighborhood or take a yoga class. However, if there is, your dentures may be poorly fitted.
