From Dentures To Dental Implants – We Believe In Happy Ever After
Perhaps it stems back to childhood when many of us were brought up on fairy stories where good conquered evil and everyone lived happily ever after. Well, we like to think that we can weave a little magic with modern dental technology, and for many denture sufferers we’ve been able to banish their denture problems and provide them with a happy ending thanks to dental implants. In Richmond, here at Sheen Dental restoring patient’s smiles with dental implants is almost a daily occurrence for us.
At Sheen Dental we like to get to know our patients and their families and part of this involves learning as much about their lives as they care to share with us. Sometimes it’s this extra information that makes their journey from denture misery to dental implants smile seem such a magnanimous occasion and the whole team gets so much pleasure of being part of a story which has a fairy tale ending.
A lot of our dental implant patients have been denture wearers for years and while we sometimes across the odd patient who is quite tolerant of their dentures many of them suffer both physically and emotionally. Since bone shrinks away when teeth are missing, any denture comfort is relatively short lived. Most denture wearers find that their dentures move up and down, make strange clicking noises, trap food particles, and often rub their gums red raw which is excruciatingly painful.
For many patients it’s the emotional impact of wearing dentures that has such a significant effect. Although as a prosthetic device they would seem to be more acceptable than say a false arm or a leg, many patients really suffer emotionally and physically when forced to wear them and actually shrink into themselves, losing confidence and shying away from other people for fear of embarrassment.
For patients as unhappy as this, dental implants can take them on a miraculous journey and totally change their lives for the better. Thanks to our “Same Day Teeth” procedure, the transition can take place virtually in one visit with the placement of the implants and the attachment of provisional teeth all taking place on the same day. Following the necessary healing period, they make a return visit for their final fitting.
