Implant-Supported Dentures Can Restore Chewing Ability
Did you know that some denture patients retain only ten percent of their chewing capacity? Implant-supported dentures can reverse bone recession and restore near-normal chewing ability.
Improved Nutrition
Improved chewing function with implants can result in better nutrition and overall physical health and vitality. The psychological benefits are equally valuable. When Cary Family Dental patients are free of embarrassing denture-slipping, they are happier, more sure of themselves, and socialize more often.
The condition of your teeth has a a significant impact on your quality of life. Denture wearers understand this all too well. The path from oral health to a toothless mouth is downhill.
Tooth decay and gum disease are painful. Fillings and root canals can strain the budget. If the teeth can’t be saved, tooth extraction brings more physical and psychological pain. Extraction can result in bone recession.
The Drawbacks of Dentures
While dentures are superior than having no teeth at all, they certainly come with a plethora of disadvantages. They can irritate gums and make breathing, eating, tasting food, talking, and laughing difficult. And dentures are not a once-and-your-done answer for missing teeth. As the jaw shrinks, they use relines.
Stop The Progression
But there is hope! Dental implant technology can improve the quality of life for men and women who have been wearing standard dentures. To a certain extent, implants stop the downhill progression of declining oral health due to tooth loss.
Dental implants can be used to replace several teeth and/or anchor overdentures. Mini dental implants (also called denture-stabilization implants) allow your dentist to securely attach an appliance so that it won’t slip or irritate gums. Small titanium posts are inserted into the jawbone and fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a strong base for an overdenture.
Before you spend money on another denture reline, speak with your dentist about denture-stabilization implants.
