Implant Dentures: Level Up from Unnatural, Ill-fitting Dentures
Are you struggling with tooth loss? Chances are that you have considered removable options like dentures for relief. Unfortunately, traditional dentures can disappoint along the way. They become loose and unstable as your jawbone copes with tooth loss. Implant dentures in Peterborough, New Hampshire, provide the ultimate solution for addressing multiple tooth loss. Expertly placed at Our Town Dental, implant-supported dentures offer a secure fit and look natural.
What are implant dentures?
Dentures offer an incredible solution for patients with advanced tooth loss. While conventional dentures work, we can elevate your denture experience with dental implants. Dr. Jihae Yang can use dental implants to anchor your denture in the jawbone, ensuring your restoration doesn’t slip or move when you use your teeth.
Rather than place an implant for every tooth lost, implant dentures use 4-6 implants per arch. Using the fewest number of implants makes your treatment less invasive and affordable than traditional implantation techniques. Patients also rarely need bone grafting. The dentist angles the implants at the densest areas of the jawbone.
How are implant dentures placed?
It begins with a consultation with the dentist. We’ll inspect your oral health and the condition of your jawbone. Tooth decay and periodontal disease must be addressed before placing your dental implants. Our dentist will craft your personalized treatment plan, detailing number of implants needed, their location, restoration type, etc.
For implant surgery, we’ll use precision skills to ensure your implants are optimally positioned. We also prioritize comfort by combining gentle techniques with advanced pain management solutions. After implant surgery, we’ll restore your smile with a temporary denture. This restores your aesthetics and oral function as your implants heal and fuse with the jawbone.
When your dental implants fully integrate with the bone (after 4-6 months), you’ll return to the office for permanent restoration. Dr. Yang replaces the temporary denture with a custom-made restoration, which looks and functions like natural teeth.
What are the benefits of implant dentures?
Implant dentures make you look and feel like you’ve grown new biological teeth. Here are the life-changing benefits of implant dentures.
- Stability: Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are anchored in the jawbone. This offers unparalleled stability when eating or speaking, so you can enjoy your meals and conversations without worrying about your teeth.
- Comfort: Implant dentures don’t rub against your gums, which can cause sores or irritation.
- Natural aesthetics: Your dentures don’t have to look or feel unnatural. Implant dentures mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, delivering realistic-looking outcomes.
- Jawbone preservation: Dental implants provide functional stimulation, helping your bone regenerate to maintain its height and width.
- Durability: Implant dentures provide a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. With proper maintenance, these restorations can last several decades.
- Low maintenance: Implant dentures are fixed in the mouth, so they are cared for like natural teeth. You don’t need special tools or new teeth-cleaning skills. Simply floss, brush your teeth, and visit a dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings.
