There is the option of attaching them to implant-retained dentures in Port Orange, but will that really make a difference? Read on to learn about some of the other downsides of traditional dentures and how adding dental implants can make a world of difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed beneath the gum line. They are attached to the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the same. This creates a strong foundation that is only second to a natural tooth root. After the jaw heals and the implant is secure, abutments are added that will allow a final restoration to be attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Problem with Traditional Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a traditional set of dentures, the restorations are held in place by dental adhesive and the suction created inside the mouth. Over time, they can become loose because of the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Denture Wear <\/strong>\u2013 A typical set of dentures can last 10-15 years. As they become worn, they can start to fit looser. This is especially the case if they aren\u2019t cared for properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gum Shrinkage <\/strong>\u2013 After prolonged tooth loss, the gums can start to shrink and change in shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bone Resorption <\/strong>\u2013 Without stimulation from tooth roots, there can be bone resorption, which is when the bone is reabsorbed in the jaw.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the above, traditional dentures can be subject to slippage or falling out. They can also contribute to the development of painful sores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Value of Implant-Retained Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the addition of dental implants, a set of dentures in Port Orange can be securely fastened. The dentures will either have a bar or special snaps that allow for a sure fit to the abutments and implants. With implant-retained dentures, you won\u2019t have to worry about your restorations slipping or dislodging. Even better, there will be less chance of any discomfort from the dentures shifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An added benefit of receiving implant-retained dentures is that you\u2019ll be able to effectively eat and digest your food. While traditional dentures provide limited chewing capacity, you can regain up to 75% of your original chewing capability with implant-retained dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You the Right Candidate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Determining your eligibility for dental implantation starts with visiting a local implant dentist. You\u2019ll undergo a thorough examination to determine the condition of your dental health. If there are any issues like gum inflammation (gingivitis) or disease (periodontitis), it will need to be treated before you can proceed with treatment. The dentist will also measure your jawbone density to determine if there is enough present to support implantation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also be given a full explanation of what to expect from the procedure. Once all the preliminary steps are taken, you can move forward with replacing your missing teeth in a comfortable, functional and attractive manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Water\u2019s Edge Dental, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smiledaytona.com\/meet-dr-rolfes.html\">Dr. Mike Rolfes<\/a> treats patients in the Port Orange community with experience and expertise, providing comprehensive care all under one roof.
