What are Denture Implants?
Most dentures are removable, meaning they require removal for cleaning. When worn, they are held in place with natural suction, or adhesive, or a combination of the two. However, with implant-supported dentures, six to eight titanium implant posts will be inserted into each arch. After taking impressions, our dentists will create a full set of dentures consisting of replacement teeth in an acrylic base, designed to mimic natural gum tissue. The prosthetic then snaps onto the posts, providing a fixed alternative to traditional full or complete prosthetics. It is now possible to have the stable, secure and comfortable dentures you never thought possible.
What are the Advantages of Denture Implants?
Supporting denture implants with multiple posts can offer a number of advantages to traditional removable versions, including:
- No slipping during meals or when talking
- No need for adhesives
- Fewer adjustments
- The ability to eat as you did before losing your teeth
- Natural looking and comfortable tooth replacement
Another major benefit of denture implants is the prevention of jawbone deterioration. When you lose multiple teeth the body no longer provides the surrounding jawbone with doses of calcium or phosphorus. Without these nutrients, the jawbone dissolves. Not only can you lose additional teeth, but you may also develop a significantly older appearance. However, the body recognizes the titanium posts in permanent dentures as natural tooth roots and continues the supply of nutrients, preserving your facial features.
Can Anyone Enjoy Permanent Dentures?
Before you can receive full denture implants, our local implant dentists need to assess the health of your smile. If you have gum disease, for example, you may run the risk of implant failure. In addition, if you have lost a serious amount of jawbone tissue, you may need a bone grafting done before receiving a fixed prosthetic. We will discuss your options and if necessary, recommend alternatives for replacing lost teeth. Don’t live with a less than complete smile, talk to our experienced dentists about your options for restoring missing teeth.
