Do not struggle with ill-fitting dentures in Richmond
Dentures have been around for many years and up to a few decades ago, they were the only option for patients with missing teeth. False teeth have developed in many ways and are now more comfortable and lightweight than ever. However, they still have certain disadvantages, which are hard to ignore.
At Sheen Dental Implants, we are passionate about dental implants and we have been using them successfully for years. However, we appreciate that not everyone can afford them. For this reason, we offer an innovative tooth replacement method that combines dental implants and dentures in Richmond – denture stabilisation. Just as the name of the treatment suggests, dentures are anchored in place with the help of dental implants. This method is effective, affordable and can prevent bone loss in the long run.
How ill-fitting dentures can affect your oral health
Quite a few denture wearers find that their prosthetic teeth become loose and uncomfortable over time. This is because missing teeth cause the jawbone to gradually deteriorate and shrink. When this happens, dentures become unstable and need to be adjusted. If not adjusted they can cause pain, discomfort, sore spots and inflammation. Adhesive creams will only provide temporary relief and should not be used continuously.
Moreover, regular dentures prevent patients from eating their favourite foods. They even make them feel less comfortable when being in public situations. Last but not least, if not cleaned properly, conventional dentures can cause gum infection.
How can dental implants in Richmond help?
If you have had enough of your dentures, but you do not want to spend a fortune on dental implants, then why not consider implant-supported dentures? In Richmond, dentures supported with dental implants are stable, secure and have the ability to maintain the integrity of your facial characteristics.
Your dentist will install up to four dental implants in your jawbone, upon which your dentures will be securely fastened. Implant-supported dentures are usually removable, meaning that you can take them out during sleep.
However, when in your mouth, they will remain in place no matter what. In some cases, implant-supported dentures can be permanently attached to your gums.
