LOOSE DENTURES

One of the main reasons that dentures become loose is that our jaws shrink as we get older. In fact, we lose density in all our bones as we age, but it is only in our mouths, where dentures may have been made to fit a younger jaw, that the effects are obvious. If you have had missing teeth for some time before getting dentures fitted this could exacerbate the problem even further, as gaps in your smile can increase the chances of bone wear and tear, and can even increase the wrinkles around your mouth!
