Symptom Breakdown
What you feel
Your dentures click, slip, or fall out when you speak, smile, or attempt to chew food. You might have developed painful, raw sores on your gums where the hard acrylic rubs against the tissue. You are likely relying heavily on messy denture adhesives just to get through the day.
Why it happens
It is usually not the denture that has changed, but your jaw. Once teeth are removed, the underlying jawbone lacks stimulation and naturally begins to shrink (resorb) over time. A denture that fit perfectly five years ago will lose its suction seal as the bone and gum ridges gradually change shape.
Clinical Advice
- Never try to adjust, bend, or grind the denture yourself. Household tools will permanently ruin the bite alignment and structural integrity of the prosthetic.
- Remove your denture completely at night to give your bruised, inflamed gums an opportunity to breathe and heal.
- Over-using adhesive is a temporary mask, not a solution; swallowing large amounts of zinc-based adhesives daily can lead to health issues.
Treatment Note
Clinical hard or soft denture relining to restore the tissue fit, fabricating a brand new prosthetic, or upgrading to permanent Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures) for ultimate stability.
