Understanding Loose Dentures

Changes in the mouth can affect how dentures fit. Slipping, rubbing, or sore areas are reasons to have both your mouth and denture checked.

Your evaluation in Houston

Bring your denture to the visit. The condition of the denture, gum tissues, and bite helps determine whether adjustment, relining, or replacement is appropriate. Do not repair or reshape it with household tools or glue.
