How to Fix Dentures That Don’t Fit

Nov 19, 2022 | Digital Dentures

Poorly fitting dentures are miserable! Here are our top three tips to improve how your teeth fits:

Tip #1: Are they loose? Consider a reline.


How to fix dentures that don’t fit? When dentures get loose, it’s because the inside no longer fits your gums well. A denture reline removes the inside and replaces it with a new lining that matches your gums and jaw bone as they are today. This helps your denture fit more snugly and reduces rubbing and movement. There are two types of denture reline, hard and soft. Both work wonders for loose teeth. Which one is best for you depends on how recently you had your teeth pulled.
Not sure you’re ready for a reline? Try denture adhesive first.

Tip #2: Are they too big for your mouth? Consider a replacement.


Dentures that are too big are either made too big in the first place or they become too big after a lot of bone loss. If your dentures are too big for your mouth, then they get unseated every time you talk or eat. They rub your gums and catch your cheek. Too big dentures look awkward and feel worse. If your dentures are truly too big, you need to have them re-made to fit your mouth. We make replacement dentures with a superior fit thanks to digital denture technology. How to fix dentures that don’t fit? It starts with a simple, free consultation. To find out if your dentures are truly too big and need replacing or if they are simply ill fitting and need a reline, come talk to Dr. Bec. You’ll be glad you did!

Tip #3: Add Denture Implants


When your denture won’t sit still, but you know that it matches your mouth and isn’t too big or worn out, you’ll want to consider adding denture implants to hold it in place. Implant retained dentures are comfortable and stay in place. Dental implants anchor your denture to your jaw bone and keep it from shifting and moving. Many dentures can be simply converted into implant overdentures, while others need to be re-made in order to add dental implant connections. To find out if your denture is convertible bring your denture to a consultation with Dr. Bec. It’s absolutely free and you’ll leave with answers instead of bills. How to fix dentures that don’t fit?

    My husband and I have been coming here for 25 years. We drive 20 miles to get here and there are many dentists we could use that are much closer, but we choose Dr. Bec.

    Just had two crowns removed, two cavities treated, and two temporary crowns installed. The next day I had the temporary crowns removed and permanent crowns installed. All materials and equipment used were first class, the work was minimally uncomfortable and most importantly the final product is as near perfect as humanly possible. Same results for his implants and cavity resolution. Dr. Bec is highly skilled, compassionate and his staff is likewise. I recommend Dr. Bec to anyone who values their teeth.

    I’ve been a patient of this dental practice since 2013 and I’ve never been disappointed! Every single time I come in I’m being welcomed by Yvonne and Stephanie with a big friendly smile. They call me by name and make the experience personal. I was generally afraid of dental appointments but Dr Bec, assistants Desire and Gill, Otilia(executive) and the entire team made the visits feel enjoyable, they made me feel part of the family and I would always leave the office with a smile. I can’t thank them enough for the care and support they offer during each visit. I greatly recommend this dental office, and specifically Dr Bec for the amazing work he does. I smile bigger and brighter because of the work he does! I recently finished my Invisalign treatment and the results are amazing. I’ve gotten many compliments on my new smile. Thank you so much for all you do! Maria Bizau

  • Amazing team. Going into their office I was very nervous because I knew how much work and how complicated my case was. But I can’t say enough good things about everyone. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you everyone I am very happy and grateful for you all

    Great work and some of the friendliest staff!

  • My experience at Precision Dentistry was very rewarding. I found Dr. BEC to be professional in his practice, with a dedication to finding a solution for whatever dental care needed. My decision in choosing a dental option was made quite easy with no pressure whatsoever. I am now enjoying the freedom to eat a variety of foods I had limited too before.Thanks to Dr. Bec for helping me regain my smile and looking forward to a more meaningful happy life along with my granddaughters and family. And to his wonderful staff, I also thank you. Your attentive caring ways in reaching out to the patients is heart felt and appreciated. 💕
