As removable prosthetics, they require natural suction and oftentimes, denture adhesive to help keep them from shifting, especially while eating and speaking. Unfortunately, it\u2019s common for patients to experience this problem as time passes. But how can one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.granddentallockport.com\/dentures.html\">fix loose dentures<\/a>? Read on to discover why it happens and what can be done to address it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Lower Dentures to Move Around?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why a lower denture may have difficulty staying still. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bone Resorption: <\/strong>Over time, the jawbone will begin to experience resorption because there is nothing to stimulate it. As this happens, your lower denture may no longer fit as comfortably as before and shift around inside your mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poor Seal:<\/strong> If the denture is not crafted correctly, and the borders are not the right length and width, it may cause a problem with the seal, which means they are unlikely to stay in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dentures are Warped:<\/strong> If hot water is used to rinse these prosthetics, they can become warped, which means they\u2019ll no longer fit properly. This can also happen if they\u2019re not kept in water or denture cleaner to soak but instead left to sit out and dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poor Saliva Production: <\/strong>Whether it\u2019s the medicine you\u2019re taking or a serious overall health condition that\u2019s causing your saliva production to be in decline, this can decrease the amount of suction your mouth produces to help hold your denture in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Methods Can Be Used to Fix the Problem?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Living with a loose denture can be frustrating, and while there is the option to see your dentist about having it relined, there is another solution to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant dentures offer a more permanent way to replace your missing teeth. Their placement within the jawbone produces a firm base for your smile, preventing your new teeth from slipping no matter what you\u2019re doing \u2013 eating, speaking, or smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using 4-6 trusted and biocompatible titanium posts that integrate well with the jawbone, these prosthetics can last a lifetime as long as you commit to giving them the attention they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of worrying about adjusting your existing denture (and having to do it again later on), you can invest in a more reliable and long-lasting solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Grand Dental \u2013 Lockport<br><\/strong>At Grand Dental \u2013 Lockport, our talented and artistic dental experts are here to oversee the process of replacing missing teeth with state-of-the-art, beautiful prosthetics.
