Denture palate is the part of the denture that covers the roof of the mouth. It can be made of acrylic, metal, or a combination of both. In some cases, the denture palate may be too thick, which can cause discomfort or irritation. A dentist can thin out the denture palate to make it more comfortable for the patient.
There are several benefits to thinning out the denture palate. First, it can reduce discomfort and irritation. Second, it can improve the fit of the denture, making it more secure and comfortable to wear. Third, it can make it easier to speak and eat with the denture in place. In some cases, thinning out the denture palate can also improve the patient's overall oral health.
