I have lost weight and I notice my dentures aren’t fitting anymore. Is this normal?

Losing weight can have an unintended consequence – it can cause your dentures to become loose. When you lose weight, your entire body changes, including your mouth and gums. This affects the fit of the denture and can cause them to become uncomfortable. This can often make eating and day-to-day life a struggle.

Loose dentures can be fixed by a denture reline. Denture adhesive may mask the looseness of your dentures, but you will still not be receiving the function and appearance that you deserve. At McCabe, we can provide same-day dentures relines with our on-site lab facility.
