They are meant to fit snuggly against your gums to limit slipping while you eat, speak, and laugh. So, what does it mean if your lower denture won\u2019t stay in place? Continue reading to learn about a few potential causes as well as how to fix this issue.<\/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 keeps slipping out of place, this is often because they don\u2019t fit your mouth properly. Even if your dentures fit properly, they may still slip if you\u2019re new to using your prosthetic. There are a few other potential causes of a slipping lower denture, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Poorly designed dentures \u2013 <\/strong>Some patients opt to get cheaper dentures because they think it\u2019s a good way to save money. Unfortunately, these dentures are often not as well made and use materials that won\u2019t stand up to the test of time. This means that they may not fit your mouth as well as they should.<\/li><li><strong>Changes to the jaw and gums <\/strong>\u2013 When you lose teeth, this causes the jawbone to begin to shrink and change shape due to lack of stimulation. Over time, this can affect how well your gums are able to support a denture.<\/li><li><strong>Damage to the denture <\/strong>\u2013 Though dentures are pretty durable, they can still break or become warped. This may happen if you drop them or use overly hot water to clean them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix Slipping Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your lower denture won\u2019t stay in place, talk with your dentist. Some options they might suggest for fixing your restorations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>A denture reline <\/strong>\u2013 During this process, your denture will add material to their base so that it fits more securely. This can be completed in a single appointment.<\/li><li><strong>Denture adhesive <\/strong>\u2013 Though natural suction is supposed to be adequate to keep your dentures in place, adhesive can provide extra stability until your dentist can adjust your restorations.<\/li><li><strong>A new denture<\/strong> \u2013 If your restorations have been badly damaged or are of poor quality, you may need to have new ones made.<\/li><li><strong>Implant dentures <\/strong>\u2013 These dentures are held in place by small titanium screws called dental implants that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. This keeps them in place so you can eat, laugh, and speak without worry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you missing several of your teeth or your entire smile?
