Fix Loose Dentures

Say Goodbye to Loose Dentures

Do loose-fitting dentures leave you feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious? At Kensington Dental Care, we understand the frustration that comes with slipping dentures and embarrassing clicks. Loose dentures not only affect your confidence but can also lead to discomfort, including mouth sores and gum irritation, making eating a challenge.

If you need to fix loose dentures, our team is here to help. We will assess the fit of your dentures and recommend the most appropriate treatment to restore comfort and stability. Kensington Dental Care offers a range of denture repair and adjustment options tailored to your needs. 

All-on-4® Treatment 

Many of our patients turn to us when they’re tired of dealing with loose dentures or are seeking a comfortable, permanent alternative to partial or full dentures. Our implant-retained denture option, the All-on-4® treatment, provides a stable and long-term alternative to removable dentures. 

With just two implants in the front and two in the back, our All-on-4® treatment supports a full arch of new teeth. The titanium fixtures are placed directly into the upper and lower jawbone, ensuring stability and functionality. This approach to fixing loose dentures can significantly improve stability and reduce movement, especially in lower dentures where looseness is common. 

If you leave loose dentures untreated for an extended period, you may experience discomfort and risk gum infections. If loose dentures are causing ongoing discomfort, speak with our team about whether All-on-4® treatment may be suitable for you. Regain the confidence to enjoy your meals and smile once more!

Regular Maintenance is Key 

It’s entirely normal for dentures to become loose over time, whether they’re full or partial. Regular six-monthly appointments at Kensington Dental Care are essential for all denture wearers to ensure they receive the best care, fit and maintenance. Our experienced team can assess your dentures and provide professional maintenance, adjustments or relining where required. 

If your dentures feel loose or uncomfortable, book an appointment with our team for an assessment.

Loose Denture Care 

Missing teeth can cause the surrounding bone and gum tissue to shrink, affecting the fit of your 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. However, everyday wear and tear can eventually necessitate a brand-new denture.

Options for Loose Fitting Dentures 

Denture Reline 

This short-term solution restores the proper fit and comfort of your full or partial dentures. A denture reline may be an effective and affordable way to improve the fit of loose dentures.  Denture fit may change over time due to jawbone structure and gum tissue changes, and relining is a cost-effective way to address this issue.

Dental Implant 

Dental implants can provide a long-term solution by adding stability where bone resorption has affected denture fit. Implant-retained dentures offer improved stability and can significantly reduce movement, particularly in lower dentures.  Investing in an implant can outweigh the ongoing maintenance and discomfort caused by ill-fitting dentures. You may choose to enhance the fit of your existing dentures with one or more implants or opt for a completely new set if it better suits your needs.
