Do you need dentures? What if we could offer a set of new teeth that are fixed in place and function like natural teeth? With dental implants, this is possible, and could be done in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about supporting fixed and lifelike dentures with dental implants.
The Need for Full Dentures
When do you need a complete set of dentures? Obviously, if you are missing all of your natural teeth then a prosthetic is necessary to restore function and beauty to your smile again. But if you are missing most of your teeth, then you may have tooth loss too severe for a partial or bridge, and we would need to extract the last few teeth to make way for a complete set of new and lifelike ones. When you have substantial tooth loss, don’t live with limited meal options, speech difficulties, and the risk of an older appearance. We can not only replace your missing teeth, but do so in a way that strengthens and preserves your jaw and facial structure in the process!
The Support of Dental Implants
Each dental implant is a small post made from biocompatible titanium, and is inserted into the jaw to act as new roots. The body accepts them as natural root structure and this allows the flow of nutrients that were suspended to resume, so the jaw remains intact and your new teeth have the potential to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime. For a new set of dentures, we could insert as few as four posts per arch. These keep your jaw strong and support your new teeth!
Attaching Your New Smile
For some, we could connect a full set of new teeth to the posts in the same visit, so you leave with a complete smile. The new teeth will be made from materials like ceramic, which can look natural and endure daily bite forces with ease. You will be able to enjoy your favorite meals again, feel confident when you smile and speak clearly. We will discuss how to care for your smile to control issues that could threaten it, such as gum disease. Our team wants you to smile without hesitation for years to come!
