They provide support, functionality, and enhance appearance to restore a natural-looking smile. If you find your lower denture frequently slipping out of place, don&#8217;t let it compromise your comfort and confidence. It&#8217;s crucial to take proactive measures to address the issue and restore stability to your smile. Delve into this guide to uncover three common reasons behind a slipping lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crsmile.com\/dentures.html\">denture<\/a> and explore effective solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Your Dentures Slipping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your lower denture consistently moves out of place, it may be attributed to an initial adjustment period and other factors, including the possibility of ill-fitting restorations. Other potential causes for a slipping lower denture are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Damage to the denture <\/strong>\u2013 Despite their durability, dentures can warp or break under specific circumstances. Common causes of damage include accidentally dropping dentures or cleaning them with excessively hot water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poorly designed dentures \u2013 <\/strong>Choosing more affordable dentures in an effort to cut costs may result in lower quality and materials that may not endure over time. Consequently, these dentures frequently exhibit poor fit and may not adequately address your oral requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Changes to the jaw and gums <\/strong>\u2013 When teeth are lost, it triggers a sequence of events wherein the jawbone undergoes shrinkage and reshaping due to the lack of stimulation. This gradual transformation can affect the gum&#8217;s capacity to offer adequate support for a denture as time progresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix Slipping Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re encountering issues regarding the stability of your lower denture, it&#8217;s recommended to seek guidance from your dentist. They may propose a range of options to resolve concerns with your restorations, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A denture reline <\/strong>\u2013 In the course of this process, your dentist will incorporate extra material to the base of your denture, improving its stability and snug fit. This straightforward adjustment is usually accomplished in a single appointment, offering you an enhanced, secure, and comfortable denture experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A new denture<\/strong> \u2013 If your restorations are severely damaged or of inferior quality, getting new ones may be necessary for optimal fit and function. Your dentist will evaluate their condition and discuss the process of obtaining better-suited replacements tailored to your needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Implant dentures <\/strong>\u2013 Dental implants, titanium screws inserted into the jawbone, act as anchors for dentures, ensuring stability and security. With dental implants, you can confidently eat, laugh, and speak, knowing your dentures will remain securely in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Denture adhesive <\/strong>\u2013 Dentures are crafted to rely on natural suction for stability, but using adhesive can add extra support until your dentist adjusts them for a proper fit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The proficient team at Ross &amp; Sourlis Family Dentistry in Rock Hill is dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care, covering preventive, cosmetic, and restorative treatments.
