Dentures with Soft Base

Used primarily for lower dentures, the soft base is a cushion that is part of your denture. Since it is more porous, the soft base adheres better to your remaining gum tissue, improving stability in the mouth and reducing irritation of your mucous membranes. When making your denture, your denturist will install the soft base by baking it inside the denture.

 

The soft base won't stop the atrophy process of your gums, whose shape and thickness are continually changing. To ensure your new soft base denture provides consistent comfort over time, you'll need to have it checked annually and replaced as needed. You'll prolong the health of your gums by ensuring maximum adhesion. Due to its porous texture, the soft base is a less easy material to clean; an annual checkup also prevents hygiene-related problems. Your denturist will be able to recommend highly effective cleaning products.
