Say GOOD-BYE To Dentures!!

Dental Implants... A Revolutionary New Way To Have Great Teeth

Replacing Multiple Teeth With Dental Implants

Although nothing is better than your own permanent teeth, dental implants by far are one of the best options to replace missing teeth. One of the biggest problems for most people who wear dentures is getting used to having something in your mouth that is not food. Unfortunately, your brain senses this appliance as "food" and sends messages to your salivary glands to produce more saliva and secrete it at a higher rate. This irritating problem usually causes most people to be really unhappy with the dentures they wear.

Other Denture Issues:

• New Dentures
  • can cause of sore spots as they rub and press
• Gagging
  • may be due to a denture that is too loose fitting
  • to thick or not extended far enough posterior onto the soft palate
  • keeping the denture in place
• Difficulty with speaking

These are the three rules of removable oral appliances: support, stability and retention.

Getting used to dentures seems to be a big problem for alot of people.

Choosing Implant Dentistry For Replacing Several Teeth

(This Information is provided for you from www.perio.org)

If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.

What are the advantages of implant-supported bridges over fixed bridges or removable partial dentures?

Dental implants provide several advantages over other teeth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported bridges replace teeth without support from adjacent natural teeth. Other common treatments for the loss of several teeth, such as fixed bridges or removable partial dentures, are dependent on support from adjacent teeth.

In addition, because implant-supported bridges will replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is better preserved. With a fixed bridge or removable partial denture, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth root may begin to resorb (deteriorate). Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.

In the long term, implants are esthetic, functional and comfortable. Gums and bone can recede around a fixed bridge or removable partial denture, leaving a visible defect. Resorbed bone beneath bridges or removable partial dentures can lead to a collapsed, unattractive smile. The cement holding bridges in place can wash out, allowing bacteria to decay teeth that anchor the bridge. In addition, removable partial dentures can move around in the mouth and reduce your ability to eat certain foods.

Benefits

These Include:

• Maintaining the integrity of facial structures by preserving the remaining bone.
• Restoring lost lip support and minimizing wrinkles around the mouth.
• The Option of leaving the roof of the mouth uncovered.
• Increasing the stability of your natural chewing capacity and improving digestion.
• Eliminating the pain of ill-fitting dentures and need for adhesives.

Implants are successfully used to replace an entire upper or lower jaw which has no teeth at all. They are a very effective means of stabilizing full lower dentures. Dental implants feel and look natural causing you to forget that you even have dentures.
