Have a Complete Smile Again with Traditional or Implant-Supported Dentures

December 14, 2012

Because a complete smile is so essential to a healthy lifestyle and overall wellbeing, most dentists offer traditional dentures as one of their restorative dentistry services.  Dentures are designed to replace a full row of upper or lower teeth, so that patients can enjoy better appearance and functionality.

Both are important.

When functionality is limited, it’s harder to enjoy the foods you need for a balanced diet. And when you don’t feel confident about how you look, the thought of smiling can intimidate you. The benefit of restoring your missing teeth with dentures, then, is that you can finally enjoy a better sense of confidence and improved functionality, resulting in a better sense of wellbeing.

But there is another choice you should know about—implant-supported dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which are held in place with suction or an adhesive cream, implant-supported dentures provide results that look and feel truly natural. They do this by replacing your missing tooth roots with dental implants.

Why is this important?

Because your roots are what promote the growth of new bone tissue in the jaw. When a root goes missing, bone loss—and the loss of other teeth—is inevitable. Dental implants are designed to stop that process by bonding with the jaw, spurring the growth of new bone tissue. As a result, implant-supported dentures can give you back the strong, secure smile you’ve been missing.

Have you been considering traditional dentures or implant-supported dentures? Talk to your local restorative dentist. Through a consultation and oral exam, your dentist can assess your oral health, the strength of your jaw, and determine a restorative plan that meets your needs.
