What If My Dentures Are Loose?
Long-term denture wearers may face issues with loose-fitting dentures due to natural bone loss. In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi illustrates how dental implants provide life-long retention to dental appliances.
Many people experience issues with loose dentures, often reporting that their dentures do not stay in place or that replacements do not feel the same as they did 10-15 years ago. However, the underlying issue is not with the dentures themselves but with changes in the bone and gum tissue. Over time, these tissues can deteriorate, leaving less bone for the dentures to adhere to and causing them to become loose.
Simply creating a new set of dentures will not address the root of the problem. The effective solution is to place implants that provide a stable anchor for the dentures. The reason dentures move around is the lack of something solid to hold onto. Implants offer this solidity, ensuring the dentures stay in place.
