Wearing dentures can be a struggle. Between the pastes and the imperfect fits, embarrassment and frustration can seem like constant companions. But if you have lost your teeth, what choice do you have? Actually, dental implants give you a couple of options, allowing you to restore your mouth like never before. Here to discuss how dental implants are a good alternative to dentures is your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner.
The Capabilities of Dental Implants
Dental implants can aid in the replacement of a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. The base of the implant, which acts as support for the prosthetic tooth or teeth, is called the post. The post is inserted into the gums and jaw, where it fuses with the jawbone. Once solidly into place, it is a firm anchor for the prosthetic or prosthetics. A single post can serve as the anchor for a tooth or multiple teeth in the form of a partial denture, and multiple implants can serve as the foundation for a full set of dentures. Thus dental implants are capable of multiple and various restorations.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a really great option for teeth replacement because they prevent the development of several complications associated with tooth loss. When a tooth falls out, others often follow in what is known as the domino effect. The jawbone may also suffer density loss, making the face prone to facial collapse. Dental implants stimulate the jaw and ensure adequate nutrition of the teeth and jawbone, effectively preventing complications.
As an alternative to dentures, dental implants offer still more benefits. If you choose to get implant-supported dentures from your Milford dentist, Dr. Quintner, you will enjoy a set of teeth that is supported by your jaw rather than your gums, making your new teeth feel more natural and stable. You will also be able to eat a wide variety of foods and should notice improved speech and comfort.
