Why are my dental implants not holding down my bottom teeth? should i call my dentist?

Absolutely: Hard to say why the attachments are not functioning. Have your dentist take a look.

See your dentist: Impossible to adequately answer your question without more detailed info. See your dentist for evaluation. Attachments may not be clean, therefore preventing seating, or plastic may be worn out. Good Luck.
