![]() Trimming the denture to reduce this gagging leads to a decrease in stability and loss of natural suction.

Bone loss | After a person’s teeth are removed, they typically lose a great deal of bone and will continue to lose it for the remainder of their life.Poor nutrition | Again, due to the loss of chewing power, patients may be unable to eat a balanced diet and chew food sufficiently for proper digestion.Discomfort | Since traditional dentures, especially lowers, often move around, they can rub and chafe the gums causing irritation and discomfort.Embarrassment | Caused by the inability to eat around other people, laugh loudly, and converse confidently due to fear of dentures becoming loose and falling out.Speech | Speaking can be difficult due to the movement of the lower denture.The movements of a denture wearer’s tongue and cheeks continually pushes and pulls on the lower denture keeping it unstable. Limited chewing power | Very little chewing power due to movement of the lower denture usually only 10-20% of what a person had with natural teeth.Shortfalls of traditional (non-implant) dentures: While traditional dentures typically look nice and are the most cost-effective way to replace bad or missing teeth, they can leave a lot to be desired in terms of overall function, stability, and chewing ability.
