The Benefits of Better Fitting Dentures

Dentures are a wonderful solution for those needing to replace their teeth without getting implants. But improperly fitted dentures can cause a myriad of problems. On the other hand, properly fitted dentures can:

Improve speech
Enhance the ability to chew and eat
Boost self-confidence
And more…

Poorly fitted dentures are a different story altogether.

Types of Dentures

Partial Dentures – perfect for those with a number of remaining healthy teeth.

Full Dentures – a good fit for individuals who have lost all or most of their teeth due to injury, infection, periodontitis or other medical conditions.

Removable Dentures – these dentures are easy to clean and maintain, generally lasting around five years before needing replacement.

Flexible Dentures – made with flexible yet highly durable material, these dentures are lightweight, less bulky, and don’t require any visible clips.

Implant Secured Dentures – these are secured to implants in your gums

Missing Teeth? Dental implants can help!

Dental implants are a great alternative to living with missing teeth. Thanks to all the advancements in this type of dental restoration, now getting dental implants are more beneficial than ever.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implant surgery replaces tooth roots with screw-like posts made of metal and artificial teeth made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two materials, that look and function the same as natural teeth. During the surgery, the damaged tooth is removed, and the jawbone is prepared for surgery. After the jaw heals, an oral surgeon places the implant post into the jawbone. The overall healing period can take several months. Once healed, patients return to the oral surgeon so that they can place the abutment — or extension of the post. Once the jaw and the soft tissue in and surrounding the area heals, the patient will then see their dentist so that the dentist can take a mold of the teeth in order to place the final crown on top of the abutment.

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are many benefits to receiving dental implants. These include:

Dental implants last for life.
Each implant sets independently inside the jaw allowing it to work without depending on the teeth surrounding it.
Speaking and eating is easier due to the lack of bulky dentures or partials.
Your other teeth will be preserved.
Your face will maintain its appearance without the shrinkage caused from having an entire mouth of teeth pulled.

Why Get an Implant?

You have healthy oral tissue.
Have one or more missing teeth
Have a healthy, fully-grown jawbone
Are unable or do not want to wear dentures
Do not have any conditions that will impede or prevent healing of the jaw and bone.
