A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and adjacent tissues. It is made of acrylic resin, sometimes in combination with various metals.Complete dentures are either "conventional" or "immediate."
Some of the pain points of keeping an old denture for too long involve:
The first denture fits fairly tightly when it is first made, and improves your facial appearance by improving your smile. However, over the course of a number of years, the dentures slowly disappear under the lip, and the upper and lower dentures begin to fit together differently bringing the lower jaw forward, and in some cases making it possible to bite only on the front denture teeth.
This happens because the bone that used to support the dentures is slowly reabsorbed by the body allowing the top denture to sit higher and higher under the top lip, and the lower to to drift ever lower below the bottom lip reducing the distance between the nose and the tip of the chin.As the bone that supports the dentures changes shape, more and more space forms between the base of the denture and the gums that it rests on. This is why your old denture begins to get looser and looser.
