Why does my full denture keep loosening?+
The ridge beneath a denture can change shape over time, and strong natural teeth opposite it may add pressure. An examination can show what is affecting yours.
Should I bring my denture to the appointment?+
Yes, wear it or bring it. Seeing how it fits and meets your teeth is part of assessing the bite.
Could implants hold my denture more firmly?+
In some cases implant support is an option, but suitability depends on bone, gums and health. That has to be evaluated before it can be recommended.
Do my natural teeth need treatment if only the denture bothers me?+
They may or may not. The teeth opposite a denture are examined because their condition and position affect how any new denture or restoration works.
Can the natural teeth wear down the denture teeth?+
Denture teeth can wear over time, and contact with natural teeth is one factor. The dentist can look at the wear and discuss what it means for your options.
Could I keep my current denture while other work is done?+
That depends on its condition and on what the rest of the plan involves. Ask how the denture would be handled during each stage.
