A couple of implants to attach the denture to would be great!
Dentures need to be refitted/refined once every 2 years. A new denture should be made every 5-7 years. There are some denture adhesives available in drugstores ( walgreens/Walmart/CVS etc.) They are in form of powder, cream, or strips. You can explore with all to see which one is your preference. The best solution nowadays is implant overdentures. Ask your dentist to find out how you can snap secure/ lock in your dentures.

For some, applying a little denture adhesive works very well! If your case is one where extractions were done, it will take some time and will require a few adjustments or relines.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best course of action will depend on the underlying cause of the looseness. However, some possible options include getting the dentures refitted or replaced, treating any underlying gum disease, or using denture adhesive to help keep the dentures in place.
If you have had the dentures for 3 or more years, you may be able to solve with a reline. You also may have little ridge bone left and may be better served by havibg some implants placed. The implants are placed in bone and the denture is then screwed down on implants Will not be loose!
