If i lose a stone in weight will it affect the fit of my partial upper dentures in my gum
Q. If I lose a stone in weight will it affect the fit of my partial upper denture or will the gums be unaffected by the weight loss. thank you;
A. Weight Loss can affect the fit of a denture, however if yours is a partial denture then most of the fit will be borne by the remaining teeth so the fit should still be ok

Dear Dr Glaister,
Thank you so much for replying to my question. I shall store your Web information in my Medical File for future reference and should I have trouble with my denture in the future as I have had in the past, I will feel that you would help me. Thank you again.
