Traditional dentures are absolutely better than not having any teeth at all in the upper arch, lower arch, or both arches. However, they are hardly a convenient, comfortable, or long-lasting tooth replacement option. The problems with traditional dentures are that they tend to slip, they need to be readjusted, they restrict the patient’s diet, they do not stop the jawbone from receding and weakening, and they can look unnatural.
For these reasons, many people will want to upgrade their smiles from traditional dentures to implant supported dentures in Santa Maria, CA.
Can I Have A Permanent New Smile When I Upgrade To Implant Supported Dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, implant supported dentures in Santa Maria, CA give patients a stable, comfortable, and reliable new smile. During an implant supported denture procedure, a highly skilled oral surgeon strategically and precisely places four dental implant posts into the patient’s jawbone.
After the dental implant posts have been securely placed in the patient’s jawbone, the denture can be placed. With implant supported dentures, patients will be able to eat, speak, and smile without having to worry about their dentures slipping out of their mouth and causing them discomfort.
Are Implant Supported Dentures A Better Investment Than Traditional Dentures?
Even after learning about the way implant supported dentures work, some people may still be wondering if they are a better smile investment than traditional dentures. Here are the reasons why implant supported dentures are a better smile investment than traditional dentures:
Easy To Clean And Maintain:
When people get treated with implant supported dentures, they can brush, floss, and maintain their new smile like they would with their natural teeth.
A Stable Tooth Replacement Option:
Because dental implants stabilize the denture in the patient’s mouth, they do not have to worry about their new smile falling out, slipping around, or causing discomfort in their mouth.
Gives Patients An Aesthetically Pleasing New Smile:
The customized denture gives patients an aesthetically pleasing new smile that looks natural in the patients smile.
Is A Long-Lasting Tooth Replacement Option:
Forget about all the annoyances and costs associated with constantly readjusting traditional dentures. Because the dental implants become a permanent part of the patients smile and the denture is securely placed on the dental implants so that they don’t move or fall out, implant supported dentures are a long-lasting tooth replacement option because they can restore the patients smile for years to come.
Improved jawbone Health:
Since the patient’s jawbone is constantly stimulated by the dental implant posts, like a natural tooth root would, it will not weaken or lose density. With implant supported dentures, patients won’t have to worry about going through jawbone resorption.
