Loose Dentures
Getting Rid of Your Loose Dentures
Do loose-fitting dentures make you uncomfortable and self-conscious? At Mount Barker Dentists, we understand the frustration of slipping dentures and mouth sores. As dentures age or don’t fit properly, they can become loose, causing discomfort and difficulty eating.
Our dental prosthetists and dentists are here to help. We offer the All-on-4® treatment, a fast, effective, and cost-efficient solution that replaces dentures with a set of teeth fixed in place using dental implants. With two implants in the front and two in the back, this treatment supports a full arch of new teeth, ensuring stability and functionality.
Don’t let loose dentures cause discomfort or gum infections. Contact Mount Barker Dentists and ask about our All-on-4® treatment to regain your confident smile. Regular six-month check-ups at Mount Barker Dentists are crucial for all denture wearers to maintain optimal oral health.

Caring for Loose Dentures
Missing teeth can cause the surrounding bone and gum tissue to shrink, affecting the fit of your dentures. Ill-fitting dentures can often be corrected, taking into account your dental health, remaining bone in the jaw, tissue condition, and the state of your current denture. However, everyday wear and tear can eventually necessitate a brand-new denture.
Options for Loose Fitting Dentures
Denture Reline: This short-term solution restores the proper fit and comfort of your full or partial dentures. Denture fit may change over time due to jawbone structure and gum tissue changes, and relining is a cost-effective way to address this issue.
Dental Implants: For a long-term solution that provides added stability to gums affected by bone resorption, dental implants are an excellent choice. Many patients find that the investment in implants outweighs the ongoing discomfort and maintenance associated with ill-fitting dentures. In some cases, you can enhance the fit of your existing dentures by adding one or more implants for anchorage. Alternatively, a completely new set of dentures may be the best solution.
