Why Won’t My Denture Stay In?

I was replacing a denture that I’d only had a few years. I really like how the new denture looks, however the denture has trouble staying in. He did an impression and two wax try-ins. It was after the second try-in, that I told the dentist that it wouldn’t stay in. He assured me that […]

Should I Pay for Dentures Not Completed on Time?
