Those who have grown frustrated with regular dentures that do not stay in the mouth find implant-supported dentures are the perfect solution. There is no need to mess around with adhesives or slippery dentures with this oral health solution. Here's an in-depth look at the common problems with regular dentures, the merits of implant-supported dentures and how they keep false teeth so secure.
Some patients find their regular dentures do not stay in position. If your dentures have slipped out or if they do not seem to fit properly, do not assume you are powerless. Dentures typical fall or move as a result of a poor fit. This improper fit causes a loosening that leads to sores and gum irritation. Some dentures will not stay in position due to insufficient suction. The dentures should seal tightly with the gums for prolonged suction and stability. In other cases, loose dentures are caused by bone loss. The loss of one or several teeth will cause the bone used for support to shrink.
Dental implants are here to save the day. These implants support the denture for added stability. Dental implants can be placed as long as the patient has sufficient bone in the jaw to provide support. Implant-supported dentures are made with unique attachments that connect to the actual implants. Implant-supported dentures are most often used in the lower jaw as this is where patients typically have challenges in terms of improper denture fit. However, if a patient requires support for dentures in the upper jaw, implants can be added.
Some of those who use dentures do not want to bother with those annoying adhesives that tend to create a mess. Furthermore, implant-supported dentures are more comfortable and convenient in nearly every other aspect. Give this oral health solution a try and you will no longer complain of embarrassment, discomfort or dissatisfaction with your smile. You can eat the foods you love with implant-supported dentures. Add in the fact that regular dentures have the potential to spur bone loss as they do not stimulate bone growth and it is easy to see why so many are willing to use this innovative dental device.
Opt for implant-supported dentures and you will no longer have to worry about a potentially embarrassing situation in which your dentures fall out while talking, eating, laughing etc. The increased comfort is icing on the cake. Your implant-supported dentures function just like regular healthy teeth, boosting your biting force upwards of tenfold in a single year.
