Poor Fitting Dentures

Dentures that don’t fit well can be frustrating and uncomfortable. You might struggle with slipping dentures while eating or speaking, or experience sore spots on your gums. At Horsham Dental Care, we understand the impact of ill-fitting dentures on your quality of life. Our experienced team offers solutions to improve denture fit and stability – from adjusting or relining your current dentures to providing completely new, custom-made dentures. We can even secure dentures with dental implants for the ultimate in comfort and confidence. Our goal is to help patients in Horsham and surrounding areas eat, talk, and smile with ease again.

Why Dentures Become Loose

  • Natural Bone Changes: After teeth are removed, the jawbone slowly shrinks over time. This bone loss can cause dentures that once fit well to become loose and wobbly.
  • Worn or Old Dentures: Denture materials can wear down or warp after years of use. An old set of dentures may not fit as snugly as it originally did.
  • Poor Initial Fit: In some cases, dentures were never optimally fitted to the gums. This can lead to chronic looseness and discomfort from the start.

Our Denture Solutions

Depending on your needs, we can recommend one or more of the following:

  • Denture Adjustment/Reline: For dentures that are generally in good shape but a bit loose, we can re-fit the interior surface (reline) or make minor adjustments. This fills in gaps caused by bone shrinkage so your denture fits more tightly against your gums.
  • Denture Repair or Replacement: If your dentures are cracked, heavily worn, or just not fitting right anymore, it might be time for a new set. We will take fresh impressions of your mouth and craft new custom dentures that feel more secure and look natural
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: To eliminate slipping entirely, we can stabilize your denture with dental implants. As few as 2-4 implants can anchor a removable “snap-on” denture, or we can design a fixed denture that stays in place permanently. Implant-supported dentures give you vastly improved biting strength and comfort – no more worries about your teeth moving out of place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Implant-supported dentures offer superior stability. They won’t slip or rub like traditional dentures can. You can chew a wider variety of foods comfortably and you won’t need adhesive creams. Implants also help preserve your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that normally happens under regular dentures. Overall, patients report greater comfort and confidence with implant-secured teeth.

It’s a good idea to have your dentures evaluated yearly. Over time, your mouth changes. Many dentures need a reline every few years to keep the fit snug. Most complete dentures tend to last around 5–7 years before they should be remade due to wear and changes in the gums and bone. Regular checkups allow us to catch any fit issues early and keep you comfortable.
