When teeth are in poor condition, they may need to be removed. Dentures are used when all the teeth need to be removed. With partials the healthy teeth are kept and used to help stabilize the partial. Dentures rely on the gum tissue and bone to keep them stable. If there is inadequate bone to support dentures they become loose and are difficult to use. Some patients use denture glue or cream to help keep dentures in position. Dentures can also be stabilized by using implants that clip onto the dentures and helps anchor them in place. This is a good option for people that have inadequate bone to support the denture. Talk to your Dentist to find out what options are available.
