How to Keep Dentures from Moving

Dentures are a great way to improve jaw strength when you’re missing teeth, they also make it easier to speak and chew whilst being aesthetically pleasing as they round out your smile. However, sometimes dentures can feel like a frustrating addition to your daily routine as you fight any movement they make.

Secure Denture Adhesive

Securing dentures into place is important to prevent any pain caused by loose dentures rubbing against the soft tissue of your mouth. Moving dentures can also be embarrassing if you think they are going to fall out at meal times or whilst you’re having a conversation. How do you prevent this from happening?

Securing your dentures with adhesive could be the simplest option if you have dentures. Denture adhesive can be found in most supermarkets and helps to fix your denture plate to the roof of your mouth throughout the day to help avoid any unwanted slips.

Whilst denture adhesive or Fixodent can help to stop your dentures from moving, it is a short-term solution that requires reapplication to remain effective. You also need to be taking excellent care of your dentures for this solution to work.

Denture Care helps keep Dentures in place

Taking proper care of your dentures is a prime way to keep your dentures secure.

Wearing dentures for prolonged periods of time can alter the shape of your mouth over time, so removing your dentures while you sleep can help to rest your mouth, as well as prevent any tooth-grinding habits.

Keeping your dentures in warm water when they aren’t in your mouth prevents your dentures from altering shape and drying out, key issues when it comes to dentures that are not secure.

Secure a Denture with Denture Stabilisation

Dentures attached to dental implants allow you to go through daily motions with confidence that your dentures are secure and will not move. Secure dentures allow you to replace missing teeth, without the worry of them falling out at any moment. Implants are fixed into your jawbone, providing a secure solution that your dentures are attached to.

Without a plate blocking the roof of your mouth, as it would with traditional dentures, you are free to eat what you like without fear of dislodging your teeth. You also will not have to stress about your new dentures changing the way you speak or the shape of your jaw as they fit into your mouth as easily as your natural teeth.

Preventing any jaw issues whilst building confidence, denture stabilisation is the perfect permanent solution to missing teeth, allowing you to go about your daily life as normal.
