Once teeth are extracted, gums can continue to change in size and shape (on average one third of a millimeter in jawbone is lost each year once teeth have been extracted)”. No matter how well a denture is fitted these changes often lead to a number of common complaints such as:
–Food particles are easily caught under the denture,
–Denture rubs and causes sore spots in the mouth when eating,
–Denture feeling unstable when talking (which can lead to discomfort in social situations).
