If you’ve lost your natural teeth to tooth decay, gum disease, or dental trauma, getting dentures could greatly benefit your appearance and your oral health. There are different denture options available today that provide optimal tooth replacement. Permanent dentures are one of those options.
Permanent dentures are an alternative to traditional removable dentures. They aren’t the same thing as dental implants, but they are affixed to them. Surgically-placed dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth and create a stable base for permanent dentures.
Benefits of Permanently Attached Dentures
Permanent implant-supported dentures offer exceptional stability while eating and speaking because they function like natural teeth. And they rarely need to be adjusted to accommodate changes in your jaw since they actively prevent bone loss. These and other benefits can help you enjoy an improved quality of life.
Here’s why many of our Lone Tree patients are choosing to restore their smiles with permanent dentures:
- Exceptional stability: Conventional dentures rest on top of the gum ridge. That means they can slip out of place and have a reduced biting force. Permanent dentures offer better stability, biting force, and chewing efficiency, making it easy to eat the foods you love. You also won’t have to worry about them moving around while you’re talking.
- Jawbone stimulation: Patients with traditional dentures experience bone loss and changes to their gum ridge. Over years of denture use, these things can make it almost impossible to get a stable denture fit. The implants used to support permanent dentures stimulate the jawbone and offer protection against bone loss.
- Enhanced quality of life: Missing teeth can cause patients to experience some difficulties. These difficulties include trouble chewing, speech problems, oral infections, and poor smile aesthetics. Permanent dentures solve these problems and restore the function and appearance of your smile. After the procedure, you may feel enjoy a boost in confidence and self-esteem.
