Instability can cause many difficulties for denture wearers. Sometimes, however, it become unclear just how many problems can stem from insecure dentures. To illustrate the importance of stability when it comes to wearing dentures, your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner, is taking a closer look at the transformation that can occur when insecure dentures are stabilized.
Living With Unstable Dentures
The reality of living with unstable dentures is not a pretty one. The challenges that stem from insecure dentures start from the moment you wake up. Something as simple as a morning greeting can be affected by dentures that wobble in the mouth. Hopefully, however, amidst the mumbling or slurring, the words “good morning” will be discernible. Sitting down to breakfast, though, the problems are just beginning. Tough foods may be out of the question, and because the dentures are wobbly, your teeth are at risk of sliding out of your mouth altogether. Couple that potential embarrassment with the pain that results from the friction of the sliding dentures, and you have plenty to be frustrated about by breakfast’s end.
Living with Stable Dentures
Stabilizing your dentures can result in drastic improvement in your day-to-day life. Stable dentures can improve speech problems so that your morning greeting comes out audible and clear. Speech improves because the facial muscles no longer need to tense in an attempt to keep the dentures in position. They can relax, allowing speech to come out clearer. In addition, stable dentures mean that there is less risk that the dentures will slip or fall out, and less movement means less friction and irritation in the mouth.
Securing Dentures with Dental Implants
If you want to stabilize your dentures permanently, you need look no farther than dental implants. Dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone, where they can anchor the dentures in place. With such a solid foundation, the dentures will remain stable, allowing you to live your life without the many troubles that can stem from wobbly dentures.
