Think of an animal when it’s “on the loose,” and what do you picture? Probably a four-legged creature, running around, maybe being chased by a hapless owner or wrangler. But the trait that usually makes an animal on the loose hard to catch is that they’re unpredictable. The same can be said for loose dentures. They move around in your mouth while eating and speaking, but their movements are also unpredictable. You never know when your teeth will slide around in the middle of an important conversation or pop out while coughing. If you’re struggling with the hassles of loose dentures, Dr. David Ney can help. Our practice provides an effective solution for stabilizing dentures: dental implants.
The Frustration of Loose Dentures
When dentures don’t fit properly, they can slip and cause irritation, leading to sore spots and possible infections in the mouth. This slippage affects your ability to eat various foods and makes speaking properly a challenge.
Additionally, traditional dentures fail to maintain your long-term jaw health because they sit on top of the gums and don’t replace the missing tooth roots. Over time, the lack of stimulation from these missing roots causes jawbone deterioration, impacting your facial structure. It’s important to address these issues with a dental professional like Dr. Ney to maintain oral health and overall well-being.
Why Choose Dental Implants for Loose Dentures?
Dental implants and mini dental implants offer a permanent solution to loose dentures. These sturdy titanium posts are placed directly into the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike loose dentures that merely rest on the gums, our implant denture options are anchored firmly in place, eliminating the risks of slipping and sliding.
If you want to upgrade your ill-fitting dentures, dental implants ensure your teeth don’t budge!
The Advantages of Implant Dentures Over Traditional Dentures
Using dental implants to anchor dentures provides several quality-of-life and oral health benefits, including:
- Improved stability and comfort: Dental implants secure dentures in place, providing stability that loose traditional dentures can’t match. This security translates to greater comfort, eliminating irritation and sores caused by shifting dentures.
- Better oral health: Conventional dentures can’t prevent bone loss in the jaw. Dental implants, however, stimulate and preserve the jawbone, maintaining your facial structure and oral health.
- Enhanced confidence: With the security of dental implants, you can speak, eat, and smile with confidence, free from the worries of loose dentures. No more unexpected slips at the most embarrassing moments.
- Greater durability and longevity: Dental implants are made of titanium and designed to last a lifetime, making them a long-term solution to the challenges of loose dentures.
Why You Should Choose Mini Dental Implants
The type of dental implant you choose to stabilize ill-fitting dentures makes a big difference. For example, mini dental implants offer several advantages over larger conventional implants.
- Less invasive: Dr. Ney can place mini implants without incisions or stitches. After he applies a local anesthetic, you won’t feel a thing during your procedure.
- Faster healing: The healing period for mini dental implants is much shorter than traditional implants, reducing recovery from 6 months to 2-3 months!
- Swift results: Dr. Ney can place a mini implant in minutes, but he takes his time to ensure the placement of each implant is done right. Additionally, their smaller size helps mini implants integrate with the jawbone more quickly than conventional ones. This means you can experience full functionality sooner with mini implant dentures.
- More affordable: Mini implants often cost about half as much as traditional implants, thanks to their faster treatment timeline.
Last but not least, mini implants are built to last, boasting equivalent success rates to conventional implants. With proper care, your implants can last for many years to come!
