Why Are My Dentures Loose?

Dentures don’t usually become loose because something is wrong with the denture itself. More often, your mouth has naturally changed over time.

After teeth are removed, the jawbone gradually shrinks, changing the way your dentures fit. This is a normal part of the healing and aging process.

Depending on the condition of your dentures, you may benefit from an adjustment, a reline, a replacement denture, or implant-retained dentures for additional stability.

We’ll examine your dentures and explain which option we believe will give you the best long-term result.
