Southview Dentistry’s philosophy is to maintain teeth for as long as possible. But sometimes teeth are hopeless and must be taken out. Dentures are the more common option for replacing a full set of teeth. A denture can be loose: if it is very old and the bone under it has changed and shrunk, if there was not enough bone to begin with, if the patient doesn’t produce enough saliva or if the denture was not made properly. Things to counteract the problem of the denture falling out are the use of denture adhesives, the placement of implants to snap the denture in or to just remake the denture.
