What To Do If Your Dentures Are Loose?
In this video, Dr. Charles Pearson explains what causes loose dentures and how mini dental implants can help secure them more effectively.
The most common cause for ill-fitting dentures is inadequate bone support, especially if you have had dentures for a long time. While it can be a challenge to find enough bone to support implants in these cases, we can almost always find anatomical sites for three or four mini-implants. We place a minimum of four to six implants and add clips to the underside of your existing denture. These clips snap onto the mini dental implants to hold the denture securely in place.
If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth or loose dentures, contact Dr. Charles Pearson at St. Apollonia Dental in Sterling Heights, MI, for a free consultation to learn how our dental implant treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.
