Implants and Dentures


Many people with missing teeth wear conventional upper and lower dentures or partial dentures and many are unhappy with them. Lower dentures never fit or feel like natural teeth. They become loose fitting due to shrinking gum tissue, which then causes irritation to the mouth, sores and pain. Lower dentures also restrict your ability to eat or talk as you had with your natural teeth. The only relief is in using messy dental adhesive to improve the fit.

Dentures and dental implants have a lot in common, but these two cosmetic dentistry techniques could not be more different. It is common for people with dentures to be unhappy with their performance. They also are, over time, poorly fitted due to the natural changes taking place in the gums. Dentures for the bottom teeth are restrictive because they limit many people ability to eat and even talk. They also require some kind of gel to keep these well adhered. the upper levels are a bit of an exception. They can be easier because they contour the roof of the mouth. But still, the upper gum tissue will shrink as well and there is also a certain amount of daily pain involved.

Dental implants offer many advantages over the older traditional dentures. Since people are living longer, there is a real necessary for a solution to this dilemma. Dental implants are a permanent solution that also looks good. These implants will likely last a person their whole life as long as they practice a good amount of oral hygiene.

Dental implants are not without drawback however. They do involve a certain amount of risk because this is a rather invasive surgery. Also they are somewhat expensive. Even still, compared to dentures these are a real solution to the problem of missing teeth. Without the instability and limitations of dentures, implants are a significant aesthetic dentistry advance.
