Are you tired of wearing dentures? Are the improper fits and messy pastes driving you crazy? Wouldn’t you love to have a new set of permanent teeth? It may seem like a foolish dream, but you truly can have permanent teeth again. With implant-secured dentures, your teeth with be perfectly fitted and permanent. Your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner, explains how implant-secured dentures work, and how they can improve your smile and your quality of life.
How Implant-Secured Dentures Work
Implant-secured dentures make your dentures a permanent part of your mouth by using dental implants. The implants are placed into the jaw where they fuse with the bone by means of titanium posts that are coated with a special substance that encourages the bonding. Then a full arch of teeth connects to the implants through abutments that hold the prosthetic teeth firmly in place. This process works for both upper and lower teeth, meaning that you can restore your entire mouth. Once the dentures are secured, you can clean them as you would your normal teeth. A normal homecare routine of brushing and flossing is all that is required. Just don’t forget your regular, six-month dental checkups and cleanings.
Benefits of Implant-Secured Dentures
The benefits that you will experience after securing your dentures are many. First and foremost, your mouth will be restored with teeth that are permanent and fit perfectly. In addition, securing dentures does not take many dental visits, and in some cases, patients can enjoy a full transformation in as little as one day. Securing your dentures also means that you will be able to eat a wide variety of foods. Apples and nuts are fair game, as the prosthetic teeth are strong and functional. But perhaps the most important benefit to securing your dentures is the confidence that you will feel, knowing that you have a permanent set of beautiful teeth.
