Your denturist will be able to provide you with an accurate prognosis after conducting a proper oral examination. Generally speaking, having sufficient ridge height with no mobile tissue and good muscle control will lead to a more favorable outcome in terms of fit and function. Multiple other factors beyond the actual fit of the denture will influence the level of success you will experience. Denture wearers dealing with dry mouth issues will generally notice looseness and discomfort issues. For first time denture wearers, having realistic expectations is vital. Complete denture are never as efficient as natural teeth or even partial dentures. Success with full dentures is equally dependent on adaptability as it is on actual fit. If you are struggling with dentures and it is not related to a denture design issue then dental implants can offer a more definitive treatment option to address comfort and/or movement issues. Although dentures may not be a treatment option you want to consider it is never a good idea to wait till your teeth fall out on their own. If you have been given a hopeless prognosis for your natural teeth, waiting too long will mean that you will continue to lose valuable supportive bone height resulting in a poorer fit.
