What is denture stabilisation?

Dentures stabilisation is a process used when you are wearing dentures and they have become difficult to wear. The dentures can become loose and you may experience problems with speaking and eating, as well as a degree of pain and discomfort caused by wearing poorly fitting dentures.

Many people wear dentures that require frequent adjustment. Patients with dentures are encouraged to visit their dentist on a regular basis to check the fit of the dentures. If the dentures have become loose, the dentist can modify the dentures or they recommend new ones for you.

By far the most effective method of denture stabilisation is to have dentures that are supported by dental implants. Dental implants are titanium rods that hold new dental bridges, dentures and crowns in place. Denture implants provide much greater retention and security than other types of denture and will improve your ability to eat and speak, as well as ensuring you have a great looking, healthy smile.

What are the benefits

Denture stabilisation has a range of benefits. It prevents looseness and wobbling, improves speech, improves the ability to chew and eat and creates a more attractive, natural looking smile. Patients that undergo denture stabilisation don’t have to worry about the appearance of their dentures and they need not worry about their dentures coming loose or wobbling. Instead, they can forget about their teeth and enjoy the smile they’ve always wanted.
