Food in dentures

DrphotoI've had a top denture since May.  If I eat anything, food is all over the teeth and I must wash them.  It is normal for food to be stuck all over the denture (3D3F) I think.  I may want a denture implant instead because I hate not having teeth.

Dr. Slota: It is not normal for regular food to "stick" to your dentures. Make sure you rinse your mouth after eating; it will help eliminate the food on  the denture. If it is continues sticking, you may need to have them polished to  a higher finish to eliminate the sticking. Implants will not eliminate food on the denture but will make them more secure for chewing your food.
