Loose Dentures

Over time, your mouth naturally changes, and these changes can often be more dramatic if you have missing teeth.  Your bone and gums can recedes, creating a space under your partial or denture where food can become trapped, leading to problems from decay to bad breath.  Normal wear may also cause the clasps to become loose.  When your denture or partial does not fit precisely, you may also suffer from irritation or sores.

If your denture or partial no longer fits properly, avoid trying to adjust it yourself, even if you use over-the-counter glues or adjustment kits.  Damage to the denture could not only be expensive, but it may also compromise your oral health in ways that you may not be able to foresee.  Call us immediately if your denture no longer fits, breaks, cracks, or if a tooth become loose.  We can often make the necessary adjustments on the same day and have your denture back to you that evening.  In some cases, repairs may take longer.
