How dental implants solve the denture problem

Traditional dentures come with certain problems that could be solved with dental implants. Missing teeth can cause a range of problems from physical discomfort to emotional embarrassment. Traditional dentures can alleviate some of these problems, but they don’t provide the same stability and permanence as real teeth.

 

How dental implants solve the denture problem

Denture wearers can find living with dentures a hassle — they need to be taken out, soaked and cleaned every night and can slip or irritate your mouth. The artificial teeth may look good at first, but over time their surfaces wear down, which affects their ability to fit in your mouth.

 

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They provide superior stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. Get rid of the frustrations and problems that come with dentures and try dental implants instead – you should notice a dramatic difference from wearing dentures.

 

Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire is committed to tailoring dental treatment to each of our patients. We offer nothing less than quality services and would be happy to help you explore your options for dental implants.

 

You can book an appointment online, or contact the clinic by calling +44 (0) 020 8090 9975 or by emailing info@faceteethsmile.com.

 

The Advantages of Dental Implants over Dentures

 

Dental implants are strong and reliable, meaning that they grip firmly in the jawbone and don’t slip around as dentures can. This also allows you to get rid of the false upper palate that is associated with wearing dentures.

 

Chewing with implant-supported teeth can help maintain bone health, instead of contributing to bone loss and other dental problems associated with dentures. Poorly fitting dentures can make it difficult to eat comfortably and may impact your oral health too.

 

Dental implants provide a robust and secure base for attaching artificial crowns or bridges; giving you the look and feel of natural teeth. They can provide great stability and support far beyond removable partial dentures or complete dentures – making them a great option for anyone looking to solve common denture problems.

 

A Permanent Solution

 

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Unlike dentures that need to be replaced over time, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.

 

Secure and Natural-Looking

 

Dental implants with Face Teeth Smile are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth. They are fitted securely and are not prone to slipping or sliding around as denture wearers might experience. Once your dental implant is fully healed, it should be comfortable and unnoticeable.

 

Healthy Tooth Replacement

 

Dental implants are not only highly effective for replacing missing teeth, but they also help protect the surrounding bone tissue from deteriorating over time. This is due to the fact that implants provide a secure base for replacement teeth and replicate the role of a root structure in keeping the jawbone healthy.

 

Conventional dentures are unable to address the issue of bone deterioration as they don’t stimulate bone growth due to the lack of a tooth root. This is similar to how muscle gets weaker when it is not used.

 

What to do if you are missing one or more of your natural teeth

 

The choice is entirely yours whether you look for implant treatment or would prefer to wear dentures. You can speak to your dentist for their advice and to get more information about what each option would mean for you.

 

If you are self-conscious about missing teeth, implants mean you don’t have to worry about gaps in your smile as they are permanently secured in your mouth. Ill-fitting dentures can be uncomfortable and cause issues with your bite, stopping you from being able to chew foods properly.

 

Even dentures that fit well have drawbacks as they can contribute to bone density issues, and may impact the health of existing teeth and gums. If you find your dentures become loose, or you have issues with your dentures when eating, your dentist should be able to help with solutions for unstable and loose dentures.

 

What is the procedure for dental implants?

 

Replacing a lost tooth with an implant requires a titanium screw to be inserted into the jawbone, and then a realistic-looking crown is placed on top. This makes it look and function just like your natural teeth.

 

Getting dental implants with Face Teeth Smile takes around 3 months depending on the patient’s condition. Each step is handled with utmost precision to ensure that the implant is inserted in a secure and stable procedure.

 

We make use of cutting-edge digital technology to ensure accuracy and precision. To begin with, we do a pre-implant check through a 3D cone beam CT scan that provides an in-depth look into your jaw. We use this 3D scan of your teeth and mouth to guarantee the secure placement of any implants.

 

Our highly skilled techniques and technology help to reduce the time required for surgery and healing, along with lowering the risk of an incorrectly placed dental implant.
