What are your options to remedy a loose partial or complete denture?
Sometimes it’s as simple as tightening the denture clasps (hooks) if it’s a partial denture.
If it’s a flexible denture you are out of luck, as these clasps are not adjustable. Try a denture adhesive as an intermediate fix.
If your denture is loose, you have a few options. If it’s a partial denture, you may be able to tighten the clasps. However, if you have a flexible denture, the clasps are not adjustable. In this case, you can try using a denture adhesive as an intermediate fix.
If your loose denture is causing you discomfort or affecting your ability to eat and speak properly, you may need to get a denture reline. This is a simple procedure in which the dentist will clean and assess your denture before adding more material to the inside surface that fits against your gums. This will help to keep your denture in place and improve its fit.
