Benefits of Lower Suction Dentures

Lower suction dentures offer a range of advantages that significantly enhance the overall experience for individuals seeking denture solutions. These benefits contribute to improved comfort, functionality, and a more natural feel. Here's an expanded explanation of each benefit:

  • Resiliency To Not Lift Or Float

    Lower suction dentures are designed to create a secure seal with the tissue, preventing them from lifting or floating during various activities such as talking, eating, or laughing. This resiliency ensures that the dentures stay firmly in place, providing users with confidence and a sense of stability in their daily lives.

  • Reduced Sore Spots Due To Suction Fit

    The precision fit achieved through suction helps distribute pressure evenly across the tissue, reducing the likelihood of sore spots and discomfort. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who may have experienced irritation or soreness with traditional dentures, as the snug fit minimizes friction and pressure points.

  • Increased Chewing Ability

    Lower suction dentures significantly enhance chewing ability, allowing users to enjoy a more varied and nutritious diet. The stable fit ensures that the dentures remain in place during chewing, providing better control and efficiency while eating. This contributes to improved overall oral health and nutritional well-being.

  • Reduced Need For Implants

    Unlike traditional dentures that may require additional implants for stability, lower suction dentures can often eliminate the need for such interventions. The effective suction fit reduces the reliance on additional support structures, making the denture experience more streamlined and cost-effective for individuals seeking tooth replacement options.

  • No Need For Adhesives

    Lower suction dentures eliminate the necessity for denture adhesives. The secure seal achieved through suction means that users can confidently go about their daily activities without the worry of dentures becoming loose. This not only simplifies the denture maintenance routine but also eliminates the discomfort associated with adhesive use.

  • Fully Customizable

    Lower suction dentures are tailored to the unique contours of an individual's mouth, ensuring a personalized and comfortable fit. Dentists can customize these dentures to match the patient's specific needs, taking into account factors such as jaw shape, gum line, and overall oral anatomy. This customization contributes to a more natural appearance and better functionality.

Am I a Candidate for Suction Dentures?

Most patients are eligible for lower suction dentures. We’ll review your oral history and examine your mouth to determine if you’re the ideal candidate for lower suction dentures. Our dental team will ensure your tissue and jawbone are strong enough to hold the dentures firmly. There are patients whose mouths cannot fully suction but can be fitted to increase stabilization. If you’ve had teeth extracted within a year, it’s important to wait until the size and shape of your tissue are fully healed before suction denture fitting.

We understand dental jargon can be confusing at times. There is no difference between a Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture and a lower suction denture. SEMCD is simply the scientific acronym for lower suction dentures. The lower suction denture process at Richmond Denture Clinic includes a free consultation to determine if you’re a lower suction denture candidate, taking an impression of your lower arch, and creating a unique measuring device made just for your mouth. We will also measure the distance between your upper and lower jaws, assess how your lower jaw moves from right to left and front to back, analyze models of your mouth and fitting them to achieve optimal stability, and test your new dentures for the perfect fit.
