Dealing with Painful Hot Spots and Loose Dentures

 Sheila had dentures for a year before using DenSureFit. Within that first year, her dentist had performed one soft and hard reline on her upper, but her dentures still fit very poorly. Her upper was especially loose. Her lower partial tended to lift because of a slight looseness. In addition, the hard unstable denture plate was grinding on “hot spots” on her gums making painful sores that never had a chance to heal, causing her constant pain.

Before Sheila’s first trial of DenSureFit, she regularly used denture adhesive to keep her dentures in place, reapplying at least twice daily.

• The adhesive dripping down the back of her throat made her feel nauseous.
• Her dentures would get loose during important situations, making her uncomfortable and self-conscious.
• The adhesive does not cushion the sores on her gums where the denture plate rubs.
• “The time I spend tediously scraping and scrubbing adhesive from my denture every night is time-consuming, especially after a long work day. If I could never have to do that again, I’d be so happy! When it comes down to it, I spend about $20 each month on adhesive, which is inconvenient, unpleasant, and doesn’t even solve my problems.”

I Stopped Dating Because of My Dentures

“I haven’t been able to eat in public ever since I got my dentures,” Sheila stated. “I really want to go on dates, but the loose dentures make it so difficult that I just stopped dating,” she said. She explained that practically all dating that she does includes food and drink. “My dentures get loose right in the middle of a date. I must disappear to the ladies’ room, hide in a stall, scrape out the old adhesive, and reapply new. Then, I felt awkward after coming back to my date. I had to think up excuses for why I had been gone for so long. Not fun dating with loose dentures.”

Problems Eating with Dentures

In addition to the lack of a romantic life, Sheila’s diet suffered. “My top denture is so unstable that I can only eat soft foods. I can’t bite into an apple, and I must chew very carefully. At home, I eat without my dentures because it is easier to eat soft foods than with loose dentures. But who wants to eat baby food all the time?”

Self-Conscious Because of My Dentures

Naturally outgoing, bubbly, and outspoken, Sheila’s self-confidence has undoubtedly suffered through her ordeal with ill-fitting dentures. “I’m so self-conscious now,” she says. I look different, I act different, and I feel different. I find myself covering my smile with my hand. I want to be my old self but with a better smile.”

Analyzing DenSureFit

When asked to rate DenSureFit on a scale of 1–10, with ten being excellent, Sheila replied, “I’m going to give it an eight right now. I need more time to test the results to see if it lasts a good amount of time. If it lasts for one month, I’ll give it a ten. I would be extremely happy if it lasted one month.”

That evening, Sheila decided to celebrate her new DenSureFit with a night out in town with friends. “I love it! My teeth felt so great that I even had a steak,” she says about tackling what, in the past, she would have considered a “difficult meal.”

DenSureFit Creates A Custom Fit

One month later, Sheila still had the exact application of DenSureFit in her dentures and was even more thrilled. “I give it a 10, for sure. I’m anxious to see how long I leave this in and how easy or difficult it is to remove. Plus, something else happened that I hadn’t expected. DenSureFit provided the cushioning I needed to allow my sores to heal. For the first time in over a year, I do not have any sore spots in my mouth!”

Dating and Eating with Dentures

More than two years later, Sheila is still using DenSureFit. She is happily dating and eating regular foods. When she smiles, her hand doesn’t fly over her mouth anymore, and her former confident self is back.

DenSureFit is Cost Effective

Shelia has since had another hard reline. “This is the perfect product to help me between relines and my dentist. My dentures feel okay after this hard reline, but I still keep DenSureFit because I love the soft cushioning. Why not? It just feels better! And when they start getting loose again, I’ll just put in more DenSureFit. Plus, I save money. DenSureFit costs less overall than what I was spending on adhesive. I LOVE this product and don’t ever want to be without it! It has changed my life,” says Shelia.
