A lower denture that lifts mid-sentence can wear on your confidence. Amber Trails residents can ask at our McPhillips Street clinic whether implant attachments might help.
Let's find a time
Plenty of denture wearers find the lower one harder to live with than the upper. Without an implant connection, its hold comes down to fit, the shape of your mouth, saliva and how well your muscles keep it steady, and movement tends to be more obvious in that arch.
Snap-in dentures tackle the problem by connecting the appliance to attachments on dental implants. They can reduce lifting and sliding, though results vary, and an assessment needs to show that implants are suitable. A loose denture may also need its fit checked, which we would look at too.

Added retention may give you more confidence that your denture will remain where it belongs as you speak.
Attachments work against the lifting that can happen with chewing, although your bite and adaptation still play a part.
You keep the ability to take the denture out, which daily cleaning requires.
Understanding the cause of the movement makes it easier to judge whether implants are worth exploring. A refit or a new conventional denture may be raised during the same conversation.
Several things could be behind an unsteady lower denture, and they guide what we recommend.
Implants provide anchor points for attachment components, and these link to retention elements in the denture.
Some movement can remain, and chewing ability depends on more than the attachments. We can explain what is realistic for your mouth after examining you.
Your implants have to heal before your denture can be connected, so this is a staged process. Exact timing depends on your plan.
Request your visitDescribe when your denture lifts or slides, then let us examine it along with your bite, gums and bone. Three-dimensional imaging supports the implant planning.
If you go ahead, implants are placed in the planned positions and allowed to integrate. You receive guidance about this healing phase from us.
Records establish how a new or adapted denture should sit in relation to the healed implants, your bite and your tooth position.
We connect the denture, set the retention and check for pressure. You also learn to remove it without forcing or twisting those attachment areas.
Specific examples help far more than a general sense that your denture is loose. In the days before your visit, pay attention to the words, foods and times of day that seem to set it off.
If you currently use an adhesive, mention it and tell us how often you find yourself relying on it.
Space to talk through what has been bothering you.
You do not need to hide how much this has been affecting meals or conversations. Those everyday frustrations tell us what you are hoping treatment might change.
If you avoid certain foods or eating around others, let us know so we understand your goals.
Show us any tender places under your denture, both now and when we fit the new one.
Ask us what might improve and what could stay the same, so your decision rests on a clear picture.
Keeping the hold
Retention is not permanent, because the parts that create it wear with use. Noticing a change and having it checked is the ordinary way to maintain the fit you were given.
When the connection starts to feel less firm, an insert may simply be worn, so contact us to have it looked at.
Examinations take in more than the attachments, extending to implants, gum tissue, bite and the denture itself.
Taking the denture out the way you were taught and cleaning around each attachment helps protect both fit and comfort.

Not necessarily. Implant-retained treatment is one possibility, and a conventional denture’s fit can also be part of the discussion, so an examination comes before any recommendation.
Stability can improve, but your chewing capacity still depends on the denture, its support, your bite and how you adapt. You begin eating according to the guidance provided to you.
Treatment is planned arch by arch, and the appropriate approach depends on your anatomy, bone and goals. Mention which denture troubles you most, and we can talk about what the assessment shows.
It remains a removable appliance that takes some support from your oral tissues. The attachments add retention, but you still take it out, clean it and adapt to wearing it.
Depending on your assessment, one of these services could be part of the answer, either alongside implants or instead of them.
