Understanding Changes in Gum Structure
If you have loose or ill-fitting dentures, your ability to eat and speak may become affected.
Over time, the gum that your denture sits on gradually changes. As this takes place, a gap can then form underneath the denture. As a result, the denture can be more unstable and have a tendency to move and allow food to become caught under it.

Dental stabilisation implants, also known as implant overdentures, involve placing small titanium posts into the jawbone to serve as anchors for dentures.
