When dentures drop during speech, laughter, or coughing, the peripheral border seal or post-dam seal has failed due to progressive jawbone resorption or over-extended borders.
Understanding the biological and prosthetic reasons behind your symptoms
Why addressing this problem promptly prevents long-term complications
Step-by-step solutions provided by our Clinical Dental Technicians
Adding fresh medical-grade acrylic to restore an exact vacuum seal against your current ridge geometry.
Incorporating functional border moulding to capture dynamic muscle movements.
Placing 2 to 4 locator implants for absolute, unshakeable mechanical retention.
Schedule a free 30-minute clinical assessment at your local Denturaa clinic hub. Our qualified Clinical Dental Technicians will evaluate your gum contour and recommend whether a precision reline or a suction-contoured remake will permanently resolve the slipping.
Lower full dentures have less surface area than upper dentures. Displacement during tongue movements indicates lingual flange over-extension or improper neutral zone tooth positioning.
A denture that rocks side-to-side when biting on one side suffers from unbalanced occlusal contacts or uneven gum tissue resorption along the bony ridge.
While small amounts of adhesive can offer temporary security, needing to apply glue multiple times daily is a definitive clinical sign that the denture no longer fits your mouth.
