Implant Supported Dentures – A Fast And Effective Alternative To Standard Dentures
Did you know that if you suffer from multiple missing teeth then you don’t have to opt for a conventional set of dentures? Instead why not speak to your dentist about an implant retained denture. For anyone seeking an alternative to the discomfort and insecurity that dentures can sometimes bring, we invite you come and speak to Sheen Dental about dental implants in Richmond.
As the name suggests an implant retained denture helps keep the dentures in place. One or several implants can be used to support a partial plate or even a full arch of teeth.
So why are implant retained dentures often preferred to the standard type of denture?
Dentures tend to rest on the gums and can over time cause irritation and soreness, especially if they’re no longer a snug fit. In addition when a denture become loose they can cause a person to lose confidence when carrying out daily tasks such as eating and speaking. Dental implants on the other hand are secured directly into the jawbone. This means that when partial or full dentures are secured to them, they aren’t likely to move about, giving the wearer complete confidence once again.
Just like conventional dentures, the implant retained variety simply snap on and off the supporting implants meaning that they can be removed for normal daily cleaning. However, when clipped into place, they aren’t going to shift around in the mouth giving the wearer total peace-of-mind.
Quick and easy process
Although having implant retained dentures does require surgery the process is both quick and painless. First the implants are placed and while the vital process of bone fusion is taking place your dentist will have a perfectly matched set of dentures made that are unique to you. When the surrounding bone tissue has fused properly with the titanium implant, it’s just a case of clipping your partial plate or full dentures into place. This means that within a relatively short period of time you’ll have a hassle-free set of dentures that you can rely on. In fact once your dentures are attached you’ll be able to do all the things you used to do, just like when you had a complete set of natural teeth. Finally, because your newly placed dentures are implant supported and not sat on the gum line like conventional dentures they don’t require adjustment or replacement. In effect, dentures just get a whole lot easier when you opt for dental implants in Richmond.
