Denture Stabilisation Dental Treatment In Shellharbour
A problem some patients have with dentures is that they can want to move around or fall out in some instances. Particularly with people with high muscle attachments that make getting a good suction effect impossible or minor dental alveolar ridge that offers poor support for their dentures. Suppose this becomes an issue, we can provide several solutions to help.
Sometimes all that would be required is a reline. This can resurface the right side of the denture and help with dentures that have come loose due to a change in the shape of the mouth over time. We may just have to tighten the clasps that have become a little loose over the years with a partial denture.

Another option can be to add implants to help support and retain a denture. Suppose we add some implants, usually 2-4, on the lower arch. In that case, we can then put some clips on the lower denture fitting surface that mate with the implants and provide a significant improvement in denture comfort, retention and stability.
We can also use implant-supported crowns to add one or two strategically placed teeth that can help significantly improve the retention of a partial denture.
Sometimes the ultimate solution may be to replace the denture entirely with an entirely implant-supported bridge.
If your dentures are causing you significant annoyance, talk with your dentist next visit, and we can discuss some options that might help overcome the problems you are having.
