Why does my lower denture fit looser than my upper one?
The anatomy of the upper and lower jaws is different. The upper denture usually fits against the roof of the mouth by suction created by the borders/edges of the denture. There are no active muscles in the upper jaw. The lower jaw is a different story. The area where the lower denture rests is approximately 1/3 of the upper one. There are plenty of active muscles such as your tongue, floor of the mouth and muscles of facial expression that are constantly in action. These muscles always try to move the denture out of its resting position. We offer Suction Lower dentures (SEMCD) that utilize those moving muscles to work in favour of the lower denture to make it as stable as your mouth permits. Call us now to schedule a complimentary consultation to review if SEMCD is the best option for you. 80% of patients are candidates for Suction dentures. READ MORE
