• How Can Implants Improve My Dentures?

Dentures often make a person feel and look older than they are, cause embarrassment in social situations when they slip and click, and restrict the everyday pleasure of eating comfortably. Further, conventional dentures may contribute to the loss of bone in the area where teeth are missing. Dental implants can be used to provide improved retention to assist dentures.

Rather than resting on the gum line like removable dentures, or using adjacent teeth as anchors like fixed bridges, dental implants are long-term supports that your surgeon surgically places in the jawbone.

Dental Implants are often used to improve removable dentures or if suitable used to replace dentures with a fixed prosthesis.  If you want to improve your ability to eat, speak and chew normally these dental implants may offer the stability for your prosthesis to achieve this.

When they count the benefits they enjoy as a result of their dental implants, patients say their implants eliminate the day-to-day frustrations and discomfort of ill-fitting dentures. They allow people to enjoy a healthy and varied diet without the restrictions many denture wearers face. With a sense of renewed self-confidence, many people rediscover the excitement of an active lifestyle shared with family and friends and the chance to speak clearly and comfortably with co-workers.
