Do I need to use a fixative to keep dentures in place?

Some patients find that their dentures tend to slip and so use a special dental fixative to hold them in place. This is more of a problem for those patients who have been wearing dentures for a long period of time. Dentures do become loose after a period of time and you will notice that they don’t fit quite so well.

Ill fitting dentures can cause soreness and irritation. If you experience this then visit your dentist as they made need securing in place with a dental implant.

Many patients choose full or mini dental implants to secure their dentures which have become a popular choice of treatment.
