Why Loose Dentures May Occur
There are a variety of reasons why loose dentures may occur, including the following;
- Changes in the gums and jawbone overtime
- Progressive bone loss in the jaws after teeth are removed
- Wear overtime
- Improper fit
- Dentures are damaged
- Health changes
Why Early Treatment Matters
To address the concern of loose dentures, we recommend early treatment where possible. Early intervention can help;
Identify The Cause Sooner
Early treatment can help restore functionality, comfort and aesthetics again
Reduces The Need For Replacement
Supports Gum And Bones
Prevents irritation and sore spots that may result from loose dentures
Placing dental implants may allow a fixed solution to teeth replacement with no movement
Dental implants can also stop progressive bone loss due to missing teeth
If bone loss is too severe, it can reach a stage where dental implants may no longer be possible
