Dental implants provide real options for those who have
suffered tooth loss. In the old days you
could have a set of slicks [dentures] made but you just didn’t get what you
needed out of them to feel comfortable smiling or eating. On top of that, you lost bone in both upper
and lower facial skeletons. Today the
loss of teeth provides you with real options to eat normal and smile with
confidence, and as an added bonus, you can get rid of that glass of dentures on
the nightstand. For those who are
missing teeth, both upper and lower, the research shows the least expensive
option of dentures is not be the best. Gum retained dentures are like
walking around with crutches. The side
effect of bone loss and other complications down the road play a significant
factor in why your dentist may recommend either dental implants or implant retained
dentures.
Eating becomes difficult with a denture that slips and
shifts against the gums. Uncomfortable rubbing occurs and many people resort to
a diet of soft foods that dissolve easily in the mouth. Denture adhesives and
pastes only help for brief periods but have to be frequently reapplied. Most adults are selecting dental implants for
tooth replacement. Dental implants recreate the presence of tooth roots
in the jaw bone, reducing if not preventing bone loss. Implant retained
dentures carefully crafted by a prosthodontist may be the best option for
some patients. They provide dependable biting and chewing stability and
are designed to last a lifetime[1].
