Missing teeth can affect your \u201cbite\u201d as well as your ability to speak and chew. Their loss can increase the burden on your remaining teeth and can cause muscle pain in your jaws and headaches. And of course, losing a tooth can affect your appearance. The following information reviews replacing missing teeth with an&nbsp;<strong>implant retained denture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many patients have no problem wearing an upper denture, some people find it difficult to wear and eat with lower dentures. Several implant-supported replacement options are available if you are missing all of your lower teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If I\u2019m Missing All of My Lower Teeth?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ball Attachment Denture<\/h6>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_2969f4-e4.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_2969f4-e4 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:200px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_2969f4-e4.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_2969f4-e4 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_2969f4-e4 figure{max-width:200px;}.kb-image_2969f4-e4 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_2969f4-e4 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_2969f4-e4 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_2969f4-e4 img.kb-img, .kb-image_2969f4-e4 .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_2969f4-e4 is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/lower-jaw-all-teeth-missing-with-two-implants-for-ball-attachment-denture.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-910\" width=\"200\" height=\"161\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One option is to have two implants placed in your lower jaw and a denture made that snaps onto these implants. This option allows your lower denture to be more stable while chewing than without implants. However, there will still be movement of your lower denture, and sore spots will occur if any food particles, especially seeds, are caught under it. As with all removable replacement teeth, you still will need periodic appointments for denture adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bar Attachment Denture<\/h6>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_6f451f-f6.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_6f451f-f6 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:200px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_6f451f-f6.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_6f451f-f6 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_6f451f-f6 figure{max-width:200px;}.kb-image_6f451f-f6 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_6f451f-f6 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_6f451f-f6 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_6f451f-f6 img.kb-img, .kb-image_6f451f-f6 .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_6f451f-f6\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/lower-jaw-all-teeth-missing-with-four-implants-for-bar-attachment-denture.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-914\" width=\"200\" height=\"159\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option involves placing four to six implants, depending on your jaw size or shape, into your lower jaw. After healing is complete, the implants are connected with a custom-made support bar. Your denture will be made with special internal retention clips that attach onto the support bar, enabling the denture to snap firmly into place. This is called an \u201coverdenture.\u201d The advantage of this option is that it is much more stable than the first option and allows very little denture movement. Your denture is still removable for easy cleaning and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screw Retained Denture<\/h6>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_8a9bce-22.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_8a9bce-22 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:200px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_8a9bce-22.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_8a9bce-22 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_8a9bce-22 figure{max-width:200px;}.kb-image_8a9bce-22 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_8a9bce-22 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_8a9bce-22 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_8a9bce-22 img.kb-img, .kb-image_8a9bce-22 .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_8a9bce-22\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/lower-jaw-all-teeth-missing-with-six-implants-for-screw-attachment-denture.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-917\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A third option involves placing five or more implants in your jaw and attaching a permanent denture. Your denture is held in place by screws or clasps that secure it to the support posts or bar. It doesn\u2019t touch the gum tissue, which allows you to clean under the denture without removing it. This denture will replace all your missing lower teeth and will not be removed except at maintenance visits. Although cleaning under your denture without removing it is more time consuming and requires more dexterity, many patients who want a permanent denture prefer this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If I\u2019m Missing All of My Upper Teeth?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar range of treatment options is also available for your upper jaw. However, because the bone is not as hard as that in the lower jaw, people often need more implants to support their new replacement teeth. Depending upon the number of implants to be placed, it may be possible to eliminate the need for covering the roof of your mouth with a complete denture. This option allows you to fully taste your food and gives you a better sense of its temperature. Your denture will feel more natural. You will still have a removable denture, which makes cleaning the support bar and denture much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_70d6c0-70 alignnone has-theme-palette7-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kt-inner-column-height-full\">\n<style>.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-left:0px;}.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-image:url('https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/implant-retained-upper-denture.jpg');background-size:cover;background-position:center center;background-attachment:scroll;background-repeat:no-repeat;}.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_511d63-6f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_511d63-6f > .kt-inside-inner-col{min-height:200px;flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_511d63-6f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);}.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_9ab544-34{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_9ab544-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_9ab544-34\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant Retained Upper Denture<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending upon the number of implants to be placed, it may be possible to eliminate the need for covering the roof of your mouth with a complete denture.

A natural appearance and speech clarity is restored along with the ability to eat more efficiently. A removable partial denture may help limit movement of your existing natural teeth. They also allow you to better grind and chew food improving digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partial Denture Types and Materials<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Partial dentures<\/strong> are created out of a metal and acrylic composition or completely out of acrylic. A patient\u2019s specific needs and anatomy dictate the design of the <strong>partial denture<\/strong> and every effort is made to construct a self-cleansing partial denture that preserves the remaining teeth and oral tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monica Duarte, DDS, Lesley M. Fox, DDS and Hernan Cardenas, DDS will design your <strong>partial denture<\/strong> so that the chewing forces are evenly distributed over the entire surface are of the remaining teeth and soft tissues. Changes to your remaining teeth may be recommended to help equalize these forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal partials are generally preferred as they are structurally superior. They are thinner and more hygienic than an acrylic partial. Acrylic partials are typically used as a transitional or temporary partial. We will consult with you to determine the appropriate partial for your situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(30% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2))) minmax(0, calc(70% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03{border-top:1px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 .kt-row-layout-top-sep{height:36px;}.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 .kt-row-layout-top-sep svg{fill:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE)!important;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03{border-top:1px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03{border-top:1px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_4b40c3-03 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_38c29d-40{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_38c29d-40 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_38c29d-40\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denture Relines<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_6c0b88-5b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_6c0b88-5b\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>New dentures will typically fit your mouth very securely as it has been designed specifically for your gums. As time goes on, your gum tissues will change and the fit of the denture will become more loose and thus more prone to movement inside your mouth. Having the denture <strong>professionally relined<\/strong> every one to two years will keep the denture secure and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hard Reline<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All full dentures should have a hard reline every two years<\/strong>. Signature Dental removes a layer of plastic from the dentures interior surface, and then fills the denture with a putty-like material which conforms to the contours of your mouth creating an accurate impression. The denture is sent to the lab where it is adjusted to the new shape of your gum tissue. This results in maximum contact between the denture and your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soft Reline<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients are unable to wear ordinary dentures because of tender gums or sore spots. Signature Dental may recommend <strong>relining the denture<\/strong> with a material that stays pliable for one to two years before needing replacement. This material is much less likely to give the patient sore spots than the standard hard reline acrylic. Patients experiencing these problems may also consider a more permanent solution of implant retained dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temporary Relines<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If dentures have not been serviced in quite some time, a patient\u2019s gums may be red, swollen, or misshapen. This creates problems in taking impressions for a new hard or soft reline and may lead to a dentures that would perpetuate the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>temporary<\/strong>, or <strong>palliative<\/strong> (medicated) <strong>reline material<\/strong> may be recommended to allow the inflammation to subside. This reline makes the dentures fit much more tightly, and is usually soft and pliable. After a few weeks, the gums return to a more normal state. The patient is then ready for his new dentures or hard reline.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(30% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2))) minmax(0, calc(70% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17{border-top:1px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 .kt-row-layout-top-sep{height:36px;}.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 .kt-row-layout-top-sep svg{fill:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE)!important;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17{border-top:1px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17{border-top:1px solid var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_cd919d-17 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_07948c-b2{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_07948c-b2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_07948c-b2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soft Liners<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_7130cd-1f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_7130cd-1f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_7130cd-1f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_4b802b-5a.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_4b802b-5a .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:200px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_4b802b-5a.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_4b802b-5a .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_4b802b-5a figure{max-width:200px;}.kb-image_4b802b-5a .image-is-svg, .kb-image_4b802b-5a .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_4b802b-5a .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_4b802b-5a img.kb-img, .kb-image_4b802b-5a .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_4b802b-5a is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dentures-soft-liners.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1676\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>soft liner<\/strong> is a layer of soft, pliable material that is fitted between the surface of a <a href=\"https:\/\/signaturedentalbayarea.com\/treatments\/dentures\/\">denture<\/a> and your oral tissues.
