Benefits of Dental Implants vs. Traditional Dentures
Instead of supporting a single tooth, dental implants may be used to attach a bridge or fixed prosthesis. These implant retained bridges are a major improvement in fit and function over traditional dentures. Our clients say the stability and comfort of their new replacement teeth is far better than their old dentures, and the implants have changed their lives for the better, adding to their overall health, due to improved eating habits and the self confidence that comes with a beautiful smile.
Lower Dentures Now Possible
Implant supported bridges are great for everyone, especially those who cannot wear regular upper and/or lower dentures. As a toothless person ages, the bone underlying the gum shrinks and frequently disappears entirely. This is referred as "bone resorption". Without this bone for stability, dentures cannot be worn. However, today's advances in dental implants have new given new hope for denture wearers. The addition of as few as four implants in the jaw now make it possible to retain a permanent fixed bridge. Not only can you have top and/or bottom teeth, but your new teeth will act and mimic your natural teeth - a real bonus to your self-confidence and well being.
Save Time and Money
The longer you wear your conventional dentures, the more your bone structure underneath it shrinks, causing the dentures to become ill fitting. With conventional dentures, in addition to "gluing" them in place with dental adhesives, it is necessary to visit your dentist periodically to have your false teeth "relined". However, an implant retained bridge does not have this problem because it is firmly attached to the bone and is never loose This action alone stimulates the bone growth in your jaw and will immediately add years to your physical appearance.
