Dental Implants

When you have a missing tooth or a denture that isn’t properly fitted, you put your healthy teeth at risk of disease, which can be difficult to treat. As our dentist previously stated, missing teeth can have social and personal consequences. You lose your ability to smile, speak, and have nutritional consequences that affect your overall health. Keep in mind that foods with more fat are usually easier to chew. As a result, chewing issues can have a negative impact on your diet.

Much research has been conducted in order to improve dental implant technology. Implants can help address issues such as partial or complete tooth loss, which is still a major issue today.

Implants over dentures

Individuals used complete dentures for a long time to replace lost tooth, bone, and gum tissues. Dentures did a good job of replacing lost tissues, but they had little effect on improving tooth function. Upper dentures are generally more comfortable than lower dentures. Lower denture wearers frequently complain about stability and comfort, and they seek better alternatives to replace lost teeth.

What happens if you lose your lower teeth?

When teeth are lost, whether on the upper or lower jaw, the supporting bone of the teeth changes dramatically. When a tooth is missing, the bone quality and quantity are compromised. As part of the healing process, the bone is reshaped. As a result, the remaining bone’s shape and height are significantly altered. This is why dentures tend to become loose after being fitted.

The bone loss that is experienced in the lower jaw is far greater than on the upper jaw. Bone loss is usually very rapid in the first year hence the need to consider tooth replacement immediately. The bone loss will continue over the years and this is why dentures tend to become loose over time. The tongue is a strong muscle that can displace a lower denture which is one of the reasons that makes it harder to wear.

Choose Lower jaw implant treatment.

One advantage of choosing dental implants over dentures is that they can significantly improve your quality of life. When dentures become uncomfortable to wear or move around when you speak, they can have psychological and social consequences.

With technological advancements, there is an alternative to dentures or complete implants. This is a two-implant overdenture for the lower jaw. This procedure, also known as an implant retained denture, is intended to combine the benefits of a denture with those of dental implants.

On the lower jaw, two implants are used to support a traditional denture. The denture is modified to fit on the new platform. The overdenture procedure is completed once the two implants are placed and the denture is installed over them. Discuss the possibility of having this procedure done with your family dentist.
