If so, do not be alarmed, as many patients find it harder to keep these teeth in place. Although denture adhesive can help to keep it stable at times, certain situations can arise that cause these teeth to shift. So <a href=\"https:\/\/www.granddentalnaperville.com\/dentures.html\">why won\u2019t your lower denture stay in place<\/a>? Keep reading to find out the cause and what you can do to address the problem and ensure a more comfortable and stable smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Dentures to Shift?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you realize that your lower denture is no longer fitting correctly, it may be that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The jawbone is beginning to shrink. Also known as bone resorption, this process is normal and occurs when there are no tooth roots to provide continuous stimulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The base of the denture has become warped or distorted. This can happen if it is exposed to extremely hot temperatures or if it has dried out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a lack of saliva that causes the denture to no longer adhere properly with suction. Taking certain medications can be the reason for this type of problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a misalignment between the denture border and the bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Lower Dentures Remain in Place?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from using denture adhesive to help hold the lower denture in place, it may be that you need to talk to your dentist about having your prosthetic relined or replaced. With a thorough examination, a dentist can determine how best to move forward to ensure that you experience fewer difficulties while wearing your dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is also the option of switching to implant dentures. Although they\u2019re known to be more expensive than the traditional kind, they offer maximum stability and a longer lifespan. Many patients throughout the United States have discovered a kind of confidence that is often not found among denture-wearers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Able to enjoy eating and speaking without fearing that their teeth will fall out or slip, implant dentures help to hold the prosthetic in place so that it will not shift. This is possible because of the titanium implant posts that mimic natural tooth roots. Offering continuous stimulation to the jawbone, you can worry less about bone resorption and enjoy an enhanced appearance and better use of your new teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional dentures are a valid and effective solution for many patients who are looking to replace their missing teeth, but if you want something that offers greater stability, it\u2019s time to consider switching to a longer-lasting solution \u2013 implant dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Grand Dental \u2013 Naperville<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Grand Dental \u2013 Naperville, traditional prosthetics remain a popular option among individuals suffering from tooth loss.
