dental implants
The condition of your teeth has a considerable impact on your health and well-being. Denture wearers understand this all too well. The path from a healthy smile to a toothless mouth is downhill. Tooth decay and gum disease are painful. Treatment such as 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 to having no teeth at all, they certainly come with a host of drawbacks. They can irritate gums and make breathing, eating, tasting food, talking, and laughing challenging. And dentures are not a once-and-your-done solution for missing teeth. As the jaw shrinks, they require relines.
Stop The Progression
But there is hope on the horizon! Dental implant technology can improve the quality of life for people who have been wearing standard dentures. To a certain extent, implants curb 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.
Restore Chewing Ability
Did you know that some denture patients retain only ten percent of their chewing ability? Implant-supported dentures can stop the bone recession and restore near-normal chewing ability. Improved chewing function with implants can result in better nutrition and overall physical well-being. The psychological benefits are equally valuable. When Kernagis Dental Excellence patients are free of embarrassing denture-slipping, they are happier, more confident, and socialize more frequently.
Before you spend money on another denture reline, communicate with your dentist about denture-stabilization implants.
