A denture plate having hemispherical suction holes that correspond to the soft tissue areas on the roof of the mouth for increasing adhesion between the denture plate and the roof of the mouth. The increase in adhesion allows for removal of the front portion of a U-shaped channel that is typically used to create adhesion between the denture plate and the upper portion of the mouth. The increase in retention allows for the fabrication of a roofless or frontless upper denture with adequate retention for patient comfort and increased esthetics.
