Having one or multiple missing teeth can make life extremely difficult, whether it be for eating purposes or simply trying to smile. Thankfully, general dentists have a solution. Implant dentures are a popular choice when needing to replace multiple missing teeth. These custom-designed implants leave individuals with a more natural smile than what would be received with traditional dentures, as they function more like real teeth.
Missing teeth can impact more than just the way your smile appears, which is why it is important to consider replacement options, such as implant dentures. Anytime a person loses a tooth, the way their mouth functions is compromised. It may alter activities such as chewing, biting, and even taking.
The spaces left behind by missing teeth allow adjacent teeth to move into that position. The teeth naturally move toward the gap. This can lead to malocclusion, which is the poor positioning of the teeth whenever the mouth is closed. The adjacent teeth may also loosen from the jawbone sockets, which could cause even more tooth loss. Missing teeth may also cause shrinkage of the jawbone tissue. For some, this can cause deterioration of the bone, which may result in serious complications.
Missing teeth can also cause individuals to lose confidence, even if the missing tooth is not always visible. People who have missing teeth are often embarrassed to smile around others.
There are several reasons to consider implant dentures.
Implant dentures look so realistic due to the way they are placed. The implants themselves hold the denture piece in place so that there is no sliding or slipping when eating or smiling. The technology that dental labs have access to results in a natural-looking arch of artificial teeth.
A dental implant features a metal post that is often referred to as the root. It is made of titanium material and is inserted into the jawbone. After several months, the titanium root fuses with the bone, making it strong and secure. The dental implant provides a dental restoration—in this case, a denture—that is securely rooted and will function exactly the same as your natural teeth.
Unlike traditional implants that are removable and therefore unsecure, implant denture eventually becomes a part of the body. Since they are made of metal, they are safe to fuse with the bones. Implant dentures will stay in place as long as they are taken care of through proper care and maintenance.
