You might hear the word “denture” and immediately ignore even entertaining the thought of this particular restoration. However, this may not be to your advantage. At all! Did you know that relying on implant dentures is in many ways, much different than traditionally supported dentures? Did you know that no matter the type, some of your ideas about dentures might not be entirely accurate? Rather than allowing you to push away a chance to receive prosthetic dentistry that might be able to give you and your smile everything you need after tooth loss, we’d like you to think again: Why not choose these? Our Livonia, MI team will slide some new, helpful information your way.
Dentures Aren’t Big And Clunky Anymore
We know that you might have some ideas about dentures being big and clunky. Sure, there was a time when dentures looked this way. However, it’s been a very long time. In addition, those crafted for placement over your dental implants are extraordinarily sleek and beautiful. There’s nothing big, clunky, or old-fashioned about them.
They Last A Long Time
When you’re receiving traditional dentures, you’re wearing a prosthetic over your dental ridge. Nothing is helping your jaw health remain safe. The result? You jaw shrinks over time and the denture stops fitting. You will need a new one again and again. Traditional dentures are also more prone to damage because they rely solely on suction to stay in place. Now, consider what you can expect from implant dentures. They are solidly in place, which means they can last for over a decade without too much wear and tear. You also won’t need a newly shaped one, as the implants in your smile protect your jaw health, so it remains stable and you avoid shrinkage due to tissue loss.
Implant-Supported Dentures Are Very Stable (And…)
Removable! You get the best of both worlds when you select implant dentures. When they’re in place in your smile, they are firmly in place as they receive exceptional support from the dental implants standing in place of your tooth roots. However, when it’s time for bed or time to take them out for any other reason, you can simply remove them. Many patients appreciate this detail as it applies to caring for and completely cleansing both their smile and their prosthetic.
