Understanding Loose Dentures

Loose dentures can cause discomfort, difficulty chewing, and self-consciousness when speaking or smiling. This common issue often occurs due to changes in jawbone structure, normal wear and tear, or poorly fitting dentures. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we specialize in addressing loose dentures, providing tailored solutions to restore stability and improve the overall fit of your prosthetics.

Causes of Loose Dentures

Bone Resorption: Over time, the jawbone may shrink or change shape, resulting in a loose fit of dentures that were once snug.
Wear and Tear: Continuous use of dentures can lead to gradual deterioration of the denture material, causing them to lose their grip over time.
Poor Fit: Ill-fitting dentures can result from changes in oral anatomy, improper fabrication, or inadequate adjustments during fitting.
Inadequate Adhesives: Improper use or insufficient application of denture adhesives may contribute to denture instability and looseness.
Denture Material: The quality and type of denture material used can affect its longevity and stability. Low-quality materials or improper fabrication techniques may lead to premature denture wear and looseness.

Our Treatment Options for Loose Dentures

Denture Relining: Adjusting the base of the denture to improve fit and stability, providing a more secure and comfortable fit.
Denture Rebasing: Creating a new acrylic base for the denture while retaining the existing teeth, ensuring a better-fitting and more stable prosthesis.
Denture Repair: Addressing cracks, fractures, or damage to the denture material, restoring function and durability.
Implant-Supported Dentures: Utilizing dental implants to anchor dentures securely in place, preventing slippage and enhancing stability.
Denture Replacement: In cases of extensive wear or poor fit, replacing the denture with a new, custom-fitted prosthesis for optimal comfort and function.
