- Top dentures should suction securely to your gums.
- Bottom dentures should rest naturally without excessive movement.

If your dentures feel loose, cause discomfort, or don’t fit properly, schedule an appointment for adjustments.
Once adjusted to your dentures, you’ll be able to eat most foods. However, some foods may cause irritation or damage:

These foods can still be enjoyed occasionally, but taking extra care will help extend the life of your dentures and keep your mouth comfortable.
