Did you know that dentures cause your jaw bones to shrink over time? If you have worn dentures for many years I’m sure you can relate to the frustration of loose dentures shifting or pinching while eating. The reason dentures get loose over time is that the jaw bones under them wear away. As the supporting bone shrinks, your dentures start to loosen and shift causing discomfort and making it difficult to eat, talk or laugh without the risk of them coming out. Denture adhesives are one way to help keep your dentures where you want them, but they are messy and sticky, and aren’t a good solution for this problem. The only way to make the fit tight again is to have your dentures relined. If you have had dentures for many years, you may not know about how technology has made it possible for you to get rid of your dentures forever!

Relining dentures involves adding a new thicker layer of plastic to the underside of your dentures, making them fit better. The reason your dentures feel “bigger” after a reline is because the new layer of plastic is replacing bone that has shrunk away! Over time, your lower jaw can become so thin and brittle that it is at risk of breaking, just from chewing food! Furthermore, as your jawbone shrinks, it becomes more and more difficult to keep your dentures secure. The longer you have had dentures, the more jaw bone loss you are likely to experience.
