I have upper dentures and hate the feeling of hardness in the roof of my mouth. Is there anywhere I can get an upper denture that has a \u201csoft or flexible or pliable\u201d feel?

Tina<\/strong>,
\n\u201cSoft dentures\u201d generally refers to dentures<\/a> with a soft lining. Often, dentists suggest this option to patients who have bony \u201cbumps\u201d along their jaw as regular dentures would become sore if the denture was to fit too closely on these sore or tender areas. These type of dentures are more comfortable but they are also costlier, are more work to clean and don\u2019t last as long.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find a pliable complete denture in the market because you need to have some firmness to the denture so it will fit right and feel solid when you bite and chew.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not happy with the hardness of your dentures, a good option for you would be to go get dental implants. This would be done with a hybrid implant restoration that eliminates the section that fits over the roof of your mouth.\u00a0 The teeth would then be completely supported by dental implants<\/a>. This procedure costs more but completely restores your chewing capacity and your mouth feels natural. Another really important consideration that some people overlook is that it prevents the facial collapse which will eventually happen with complete dentures.<\/p>\n
