A poorly fitting denture can cause no end of problems, affecting both your oral health and your confidence. Loose dentures can cause a range of problems, including irritation and sores, not to mention making the wearer wary about speaking, eating and drinking in public.
Loose and poorly fitting dentures may result in any of the following symptoms:
* slurred speech;
* clicking or whistling noises when you speak and eat;
* embarassing problems when chewing food;
* you feel very uncomfortable when speaking and eating in public places;
* wrinkles may appear all around your mouth
* mouth irritations, ulcers and sore spots;
Your dentures may have been poorly fitted in the first place, or your jaw may have shrunk slightly over time – this would make your dentures become loose fitting. So it is important that you visit your dentist as soon as possible to discuss possible options regarding dentures.
Many people choose to have fixed dentures after having a bad experience with removable dentures. Fixed dentures will be hand crafted for them by a Clinical Dental Technician and implanted by their dentist. Fixed dentures are anchored to the gums by dental implants, which acts like the root of a natural tooth making them far more stable than normal dentures,
Denture implants or fixed provisional overdentures can often be carried out painlessly under local anaesthetic by a qualified dental surgeon. This means you are awake throughout the treatment, but the part of your mouth being worked on is completely numb.
Denture implants may not be suitable for everyone. You need healthy gums and a sufficient thickness of jawbone to allow the implants to be fitted correctly by a qualified dental surgeon.
