Problems with Dentures That Don’t Fit

If you get dentures that do not fit you, you could develop fungal infections. Ulcers are another risk that could occur from poorly fitting ones. People with a bad fit are also susceptible to a condition known as hyperplasia. This condition occurs when the gum becomes irritated due to a denture not fitting the gum properly. The gum starts to grow into fill the space, which can result in an infection.  Bone shrinkage is a risk of poorly fitting dentures as well, since chewing forces don’t transfer to the bone effectively. When this happens, scar tissue eventually ends up replacing the bone.
