Secure Loose Dentures with Dental Implants

Missing teeth problems are quickly solved with dentures, which are removable dental appliances that replace the form and function of lost teeth. Dentures are made to fit comfortably inside the mouth; however, due to their removable nature, these teeth restorations have the tendency to become loose with the passage of time (and with long-term use). As dentures lose their tight and comfortable fit, loose denture problems start, which result to discomfort and embarrassment for the denture user. Dentures that become loose also have a negative effect on the aesthetics of a smile; ill-fitting dentures result to a smile that looks awkward and unnatural.

Dentures that move inside the mouth can lead to the development of painful mouth ulcers, especially if the dentures frequently rub against the inner lining of the mouth, and against the soft gum tissue. The denture wearer will also be subjected to a pain when dentures move while eating, biting, or chewing on food – and the gums will bear the brunt of the unnecessary friction from the unnecessary denture movement. Loose dentures also result to a loss in the denture wearer’s self confidence, as teeth restorations that move around unexpectedly lead to extremely embarrassing episodes.

Implant-Stabilised Dentures

The problem of loose dentures can be solved with dental implants. The implants work by stabilising the teeth restorations so they stay securely in place, to avoid causing pain and embarrassment issues for the denture wearer. Mini implants are often used to stabilise dentures; these implants are smaller than conventional implants, and can be attached using a minimally-invasive procedure that allows the patient to immediately enjoy the improved fit of the dentures. Recovery time is very quick as well for the placement of mini dental implants.

Dentures that are secured with implants will solve problems that come with unnecessary denture movement. Since the dentures are now attached to the jawbone through the implants, the teeth restorations are held firmly in place and will not rub painfully against the gums and inner mouth tissue. Missing teeth problems are solved in a comfortable manner, without worrying about embarrassing episodes when dentures may fall out completely from inside the mouth. Securing dentures with dental implants helps bring back the self confidence of a denture wearer, who will be able to enjoy the benefits of the missing teeth solution without the embarrassment of loose dentures. The smile is aesthetically improved, resulting to a smile that looks and feels naturally beautiful.
