It is very common for dentures to start feeling less secure over time, even if they fit perfectly when you first received them. This change occurs primarily because your mouth naturally changes shape after tooth loss.

When teeth are extracted, your gums and jawbone begin to shift and recede. Over the months and years, your jaw may become smaller and flatter, which reduces the surface area available to keep your dentures in place. Additionally, the daily movements of your facial muscles—such as talking, chewing, and eating—can cause gradual wear on the denture base itself.

We want to reassure you that a loose fit is not a defect in your appliance, but a natural result of these physical changes. To address this, we offer several personalized dental solutions to restore your comfort:

• Professional Relining: We resurface the bottom of your denture with new material so it conforms snugly to your current gum contours.
• Rebasing: If your denture’s acrylic base is damaged or worn but the teeth are still in good condition, we can replace the entire base.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: For those seeking a more permanent feel, these dentures anchor onto screws implanted into the jaw for stability that mimics natural teeth.

If you notice your dentures clicking, sliding, or requiring extra adhesive, we invite you to visit us for a fit assessment. We treat each patient as we would our own family and will provide transparent recommendations to help you smile confidently again.
