Loose Dentures

Are loose dentures making you uncomfortable or self-conscious?

At Whyalla Dental Care, we understand how frustrating and uncomfortable ill-fitting dentures can be. Loose dentures can cause mouth sores, gum irritation and even make eating or speaking difficult. They can also affect your confidence and quality of life. The good news is that effective solutions are available to restore comfort and stability to your smile. If you’re facing this issue, our team of dental professionals is here to help. We’ll ensure you leave our clinic with secure dentures and a smile you can feel confident about.

What Causes Dentures to Become Loose?

Over time, changes in your jawbone and gums can naturally cause dentures to become loose. Bone resorption or shrinkage following tooth loss is a common reason, and dentures can also become loose from regular wear and tear. Whatever the cause, our dentists at Whyalla Dental Care are here to help you achieve a secure and comfortable fit.

At Whyalla Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves a smile that feels as good as it looks.

Treatment for Loose Dentures

Ill-fitting dentures can often be corrected, taking into account your dental health, remaining bone in the jaw, tissue condition, and the state of your current denture. Poorly fitted or outdated dentures or general wear and tear on denture materials can eventually necessitate a brand-new denture.

 

  • A denture reline reshapes the base of your existing dentures to ensure they fit snugly against your gums. This is a quick and cost-effective short-term solution for minor adjustments.

  • Implant-supported dentures offer a stable, long-term solution for gums with bone resorption. Dental Implants are placed into the jawbone and serve as a secure anchor for dentures, eliminating slippage and discomfort. They can also improve the fit of current dentures or support a new set, reducing ongoing maintenance and discomfort from ill-fitting dentures.

Don’t endure the discomfort of loose fitting dentures any longer.

Regular Maintenance is Key

Dentures, whether full or partial, can become loose over time. That’s why six-monthly check-ups at Whyalla Dental Care are crucial for ensuring the best fit and maintaining your oral health.

If your dentures feel loose, we’re here to help restore their stability and your confidence.
