Some people have a hard time adjusting to the acrylic base of dentures. Discomfort can occur when chewing as the acrylic hits and rubs against the gums. Experiencing these feelings each day can make a person very unhappy and put them in pain. However, a solution has been found! Soft Dentures, or flexible dentures, have a soft, flexible base that is able to contour to your mouth. No glue needed, these Soft Dentures make chewing easy and painless, while staying in place. The trick to the Soft Dentures has to do with the undercut of the ridge of the gums. The dentures are flexible enough to hook into the undercuts. This is what makes Soft Dentures so stable. The main difference between the Soft Denture and a regular denture is the coating of flexible resin that is put on the base of the Soft Denture. This special resin is what makes the Soft Dentures more stable and more comfortable to wear. It also makes it impossible for bacteria to build up between the gums and the base, which is extremely important in avoiding any kind of infection. Soft Dentures are more expensive than regular dentures, but there are so many benefits to having them! If this is something you are interested in you should speak with your dentist right away and see if Soft Dentures will work for you.
