    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Dentures may become loose as the gums and jawbone change following tooth loss. Wear or damage to the appliance can also affect its fit.

    The dentist examines both the denture and the supporting tissues. Depending on the findings, an adjustment, reline, replacement denture, or implant support may be recommended.

    Implants can provide additional retention in suitable patients, but they are not the only possible response to a loose denture. A consultation compares the options for your mouth and preferences.
