Q: Why do my
dentures no
longer fit?
Once teeth are lost, the gums and
bones have a tendency to shrink and
recede. Just like a leg in a cast for several
months receiving no stimulation, then
removing the cast and seeing a withered
leg, the dental jaw bone is stimulated by
the function of the teeth and the forces of
chewing. When teeth are removed, this
stimulation is lost, and for many denture
wearers, the bone will shrink resulting in a
change of bone volume and a stable denture
fit. If your situation does require loss of teeth
or you now have dentures, ask about dental
implants which can help support dentures
and minimize loss of bone volume.
