Dentures rest on your gums and stay secure in a few different ways:
- Natural suction (for full dentures)
- Dental adhesive (for extra security)
- Metal clasps (for partial dentures that attach to natural teeth)
Over time, your gums can shift, which means your dentures might need occasional adjustments to keep them fitting well. Regular dental checkups can help prevent discomfort or slipping.
What Makes Dentures Comfortable?
Not all dentures feel the same. The comfort level depends on the material, the fit, and how well they are made. Some of the best options include:
- Flexible Dentures : Made from softer materials that mold to your gums for a better fit.
- Implant-Supported Dentures : Attached to dental implants for added stability.
- Custom-Fit Dentures : Designed to match your mouth perfectly, reducing irritation and discomfort.
If dentures feel uncomfortable, small adjustments can make a big difference. A high-quality adhesive can also improve the fit and stability.
