Are your dentures leaving your frustrated? Are you tired of your dentures slipping and sliding around your mouth? Implant-supported dentures eliminate the problems caused by ill-fitting dentures, leaving patients with prosthetic teeth that look and feel more like natural teeth. Your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner, shares the benefits of implant-supported dentures below.
Dentures that Feel Like Natural Teeth
One of the biggest problems denture wearers face are the problems that arise when dentures do not fit properly. An improper fit can allow dentures to slide around the mouth and slip during speech. Sliding dentures can also irritate the gums, resulting in an uncomfortable experience. However, implant-supported dentures solve all of these problems. Using the technology of dental implants, the dentures are anchored into the jaw just like natural teeth. The titanium posts of the dental implants are inserted into the jaw, where they fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once they are firmly in place, the dentures are attached to the implants and held firmly in position. Because the anchors for the dentures lie in the jaw, they feel more like natural teeth, unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums.
Other Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures can help to improve speech. Without the difficulties presented by sliding dentures, speaking is easier, and slurring occurs much less often. The added stability given by the dental implants also allows patients to eat tough foods that include thick steaks. Implant-supported dentures can really restore your standard of living.
Caring for Your New Dentures
To care for implant-supported dentures, you simply detach them and clean them. Once they are clean, simply reinsert them, and the process is complete, making caring for you new dentures very easy.
