Who is a good candidate for Lower Suction dentures?

Around 80% of patients are eligible for Lower Suction dentures. Even if a patient’s mouth is not capable of getting full suction with one of these dentures, they can still benefit from partial suction and have a very stable denture. The only thing that would disqualify a patient for Lower Suction dentures is if they have recently had any teeth extracted from their lower jaw. These patients need to give their gums time to heal, and the force of the suction from the dentures can cause the recently formed wounds to open up, causing bleeding, increased risk of infection, and improper healing. Once their dentist or denturist determines that the patient’s gums have fully healed, they will become eligible for Lower Suction dentures again.

Q: Do Lower Suction dentures need adhesive to stay in place?

No they don’t! Lower Suction dentures fit to the lower gums by creating a vacuum between the denture and gums. This vacuum between the denture and gums holds it in place.

Q: How long do Lower Suction dentures last?

As is the case with any denture, they will need to be replaced eventually. Lower Suction dentures are made to last between 7 and 10 years. Proper denture care and daily cleaning will help the denture have a longer lifespan.

Q: Can food get under Lower Suction dentures?

Because of how they work, it is less likely to get food trapped under a Lower Suction denture than it is for a conventional denture. Because of this, people with Lower Suction dentures are able to eat foods they wouldn’t be able to with conventional dentures. It is still possible for food to get trapped, so be sure to take the dentures out to clean them and the gums every day.

Q: Are Lower Suction dentures comfortable?

Of any type of denture, Lower Suction dentures are the most comfortable. That is because they don’t need any adhesives to stay in place that could be over or under used. The suction that the denture provides will take some getting used to but once the mouth has adjusted to the denture, it will feel very natural and comfortable.

Suction Dentures FAQ

Do Lower Suction dentures need adhesive to stay in place?

No. Lower suction dentures do not require adhesive.

They stay in place by creating a vacuum seal between the denture and your gums, which helps hold the denture securely without the need for creams or glues.

Are Lower Suction Dentures comfortable?

Yes. Lower Suction dentures are considered the most comfortable type of denture.

Because they rely on suction instead of adhesives, there’s no irritation from over- or under-using denture glue. While the suction feeling may take a short time to get used to, once your mouth adjusts, the denture feels very natural and comfortable.

What are SEMCD (Lower Suction Dentures) and am I a candidate?

SEMCD, or Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Dentures, are a type of Full Lower denture made using specialized Japanese techniques. They are designed to use your remaining bone and natural soft-tissue movement to create suction, helping the denture stay stable and secure. This often reduces or eliminates the need for denture adhesive and can even be an alternative to dental implants.

About 80% of patients are candidates for Lower Suction dentures. Even if full suction isn’t possible, many patients still benefit from Partial suction, which greatly improves stability.

The main reason someone may not be eligible right away is recent lower tooth extractions. The gums need time to heal before suction can be applied safely. Once healing is complete and confirmed by your dentist or denturist, you may become eligible.

Book a complimentary consultation so we can assess your mouth and confirm whether Lower Suction dentures are right for you.

How long do Lower Suction dentures last?

Like all dentures, Lower Suction dentures will eventually need to be replaced. Typically, they last about 5 to 8 years.

With proper daily cleaning and good denture care, their lifespan can often be maximized.

Can food get under Lower Suction dentures?

It’s less likely for food to get trapped under Lower Suction dentures compared to Conventional dentures. The suction seal helps keep the denture more stable, allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods.

That said, food can still occasionally get underneath, so it’s important to remove and clean your dentures and gums daily to maintain comfort and oral health.
