There are many reasons for a denture to loosen, but let’s name a few.
- Weight loss may cause a denture to become loose. Believe it or not, a five to 10 pound weight loss can create havoc on denture retention. More than ten pounds is like going down 3 pant sizes!
- Leaving your dentures in day and night causes excessive stress on the bone that holds the denture, causing resorption or shrinkage. The bone shrinks, but the denture acrylic (special plastic) stays the same. Think about going down 2 pant sizes or more!
- Dentures are not meant to last a lifetime. Ideally, a new denture should be checked and if necessary refabricated every five to 10 years.

List of Causes and Remedies for Loose Dentures
- Weight Loss
- A 5-10 pound weight loss can significantly affect denture retention.
- Losing more than 10 pounds is like going down 3 pant sizes.
- Wearing Dentures Continuously
- Leaving dentures in day and night stresses the bone, causing resorption or shrinkage.
- The bone shrinks, but the denture acrylic stays the same, similar to going down 2 pant sizes or more.
- Denture Longevity
- Dentures are not designed to last a lifetime.
- Ideally, dentures should be checked and potentially refabricated every 5-10 years.
- Tightening Denture Clasps
- For partial dentures, sometimes it’s as simple as tightening the clasps.
- For flexible dentures, clasps are not adjustable. Use a denture adhesive as an intermediate fix.
- Recommended adhesive: Dr. Berland’s Adhesadent for a strong hold with recognizable ingredients.
- Relining Dentures
- For partial or complete dentures with special dental hard plastic, a reline (hard, soft, or combination) is recommended.
- Use VOCO, a unique product that does not de-laminate and has a smooth finish.
- Other reline materials may only last a few months, but VOCO is designed to stay put and provide a smooth finish.

It’s kind of like cruise control for your dentures.

Who is DenSureFit For?
-
New Denture Wearers & Those In IMMEDIATES
DenSureFit keeps the denture snug as the gums shrink drastically during the first 18 months post-extraction.IMPORTANT! If your extractions are recent, you MUST consult your dentist before using DenSureFit. Your dentist must “clear you” for a soft reline before you use DenSureFit. If your dentist has already applied a soft reline to your denture, then DenSureFit is okay for you to use.
-
Those With Denture Soreness
DenSureFit’s soft cushioning silicone helps to protect against “hot spots” for relief from soreness. It redistributes the pressure for relief from high spots and rubbing of your dentures at the gum line.
-
Those With Loose Or Ill-Fitting Dentures
DenSureFit’s flexible silicone fills the voids that are causing the denture to be loose. DenSureFit relieves soreness caused by the denture rubbing as a result of those voids.
-
Denture Wearers In Their Permanent Dentures
Even after a denture wearer is fitted for permanent dentures, the gums continue to change, although the pace will slow down. These changes in the gums will cause the denture to fit differently. DenSureFit makes a new impression on the inside of the denture for the best fit possible.
-
Those Who Simply Desire More Comfort
If the denture fits well, but you simply want a cushion between the hard acrylic denture base and your gums, DenSureFit’s lightweight soft silicone provides a soft thin cushioning without adding extra bulk to the interior of the denture.
-
Those Who Want To Reduce Or Eliminate Denture Adhesive-Use
DenSureFit is NOT adhesive. DenSureFit is a soft silicone liner that only needs to be replaced every few months. There is no daily application. Many people are able to go adhesive-free with DenSureFit. Others are able to greatly reduce the amount of adhesive they use and are able to switch to powder adhesive, which users report being a great improvement over the pastes when used on top of their DenSureFit liner.
-
Those Who Have A New Hard Reline
If the hard reline is not producing the fit you desire, many find that applying DenSureFit fine-tunes the fit. The lightweight DenSureFit silicone makes a much more detailed impression of the mouth than the hard acrylic material, so when applied over a new hard reline, the fit is naturally improved.
