Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2005denture-top plate
I had the top plate made, then moved the next day from PA to Florida. The plate sort of fits and stays in place, IF I USE A TON OF THAT AWFUL CEMENT. My question is, is there anything a dentist here can do to make the plate fit without the goo? Is it even possible? I'm looking to pop it in when I want it in, and put it in my pocket when I don't feel like wearing it (most of the time). With the goo, that ain't exactly do-able Appreciate suggestions. Soon I plan to have the bottom done, using the two eye teeth to hang the plate(s) on. Probably not relevant. WesNat. >I had the top plate made, then moved the next day from PA to Florida.

Is it even possible? Reline .......... add more material inside .... either chairside or as lab procedure. Sometimes to avoid incread thickness the dentist "jumps" the upper denture into new acrylic ... its like a new one. It used to be an economical procedure .. today, who knows?

A good lab will thin down the palate so the thickness remains the same after a reline. .. Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

If you got the denture the same day the teeth were extracted, then your gums have shrunk which will cause the denture to be loose. > I had the top plate made, then moved the next day from PA to Florida.

Plus, if he keeps popping if out when not in front of pretty ladies he will never adapt to it anyway. .. Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.
