When I try to chew food with my lower denture it tips. What can I do?

Chewing with a lower denture is very different than chewing with your natural teeth because traditional dentures do not have roots like your natural teeth. Your denture can be compared to a fence without fence posts.

With dentures, you must develop a skill of chewing on both sides at the same time. Just like balancing a teeter-totter, you must have an equal load on both sides.

The alternative to your difficulty chewing is to place two or more fence posts (implants), which will stabilize your denture and allow you to eat more naturally. Learn more about how denture implants can improve your quality of life.
