Dentures in Clearwater rely on suction to stay in place, and that suction is created by the snug fit of the denture against the gum line. When the gum tissue starts to shrink due to gum disease, that suction diminishes, and the denture isn’t as secure. In addition, receding gums can cause the bone underneath to shrink as well, further exacerbating the problem.
So, can dentures be fitted to receding gums? The answer is yes! If your gums have started to recede, it’s not too late to get a denture that fits correctly.
