How to Locate Your Suction Spot

How to Ensure Your Proper Fit:
SEAT your denture in your SUCTION SPOT!

DenSureFit works by suction on the upper denture. That suction happens in the suction spot on the roof of your mouth. Your roof
barely changes, so it will always be your reference point. When your denture is seated correctly in your suction spot during your reline, the silicone is forced to fill the voids in your gum line in precisely the right spots so that your denture STAYS SUPPORTED in your suction spot.

You must seat your denture snugly in your suction spot.

Think of how a suction cup works. All the air needs to be pressed out before suction can happen. Your denture works the same way! There can be no air pockets between your denture and the roof of your mouth.

Before you use DenSureFit, PRACTICE finding your SUCTION SPOT!

• First, practice with your denture out of your mouth. Wrap your finger around your nose and give your thumb a few nice sucks. Feel where the curved pad of your thumb gets suctioned in that curved part of the roof of your mouth. That’s your SUCTION SPOT, where you must firmly seat your denture. Don’t push back toward your throat; don’t push forward toward your front teeth. Push straight up to the roof of your mouth.
• Now, place your denture in your mouth and suck your thumb, mouth closed around your thumb. This is where you should seat it during your reline.

NOTE: While many people have natural mouth and denture contours and conditions to achieve good suction, some do not. Not every wearer will be able to achieve good suction. If this is your situation, sitting your denture properly in your suction spot is still crucial.
