I Need Dentures – What Are My Options?
If you’ve lost a whole arch of teeth then it’s only natural that replacing those teeth and restoring a smile which attractive and functional becomes a pretty urgent task. Most patients consider dentures to be the answer and may well meet with their general dentist to discuss this course of action.
However for a lot of patients dentures aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be and fail to live up to expectations or give the desired results. When natural teeth are lost the surrounding tissue and jaw bone starts to resorb changing the structure of the face and this is why what were once snug fitting dentures begin to shift around, making it uncomfortable and difficult to eat and speak properly.
The good news is that you don’t have to wear dentures for the rest of your life. We have a solution in the way of dental implants. In Richmond, here at Sheen Dental we can use as few as two implants to provide a stable base for a full set of dentures. Alternatively we can secure a bridge on 4 to 6 implants. This will make you feel more secure when you’re going about your daily business with no fear of any embarrassing moments, since your dentures will be held firmly in place.
If you’ve lost several teeth then you many need a sinus lift and some bone grafting before we can place the implants. Once they’re installed and integrated with the bone, then the bridge or full over- denture can be fixed into place.
We can fabricate an over-denture or bridge so that it can be easily removed for cleaning and easy for you to snap back into place after cleaning. Or if you prefer, your bridge or over-denture can be permanently attached to your dental implants.
Your life will be totally transformed since you’ll be able to laugh, eat, and smile with confidence knowing that your teeth are not going to jiggle around in your mouth or fall out. You’ll have natural looking teeth that act and feel almost like the real deal and security which is nigh on impossible to achieve with conventional prosthetics.
