Four Convincing Reasons You Should Replace Your Missing Teeth with Implant-supported Dentures

If you have lost all your teeth in the upper or lower jaw, life can be challenging even if you have restored your smile with dentures. Many patients with conventional dentures often complain of fit or a lack of it. Ill-fitting dentures tend to slip or even fall out when you least expect it, not to mention the constant rubbing that can irritate your gums. 

If you have poorly fitting dentures, all is not doom and gloom. Implant-supported dentures in Red Hill, Victoria, offer a stable and solid fit like natural teeth. Expertly placed by the experienced Red Hill Dental Practice team, implant-supported dentures allow you to eat, smile, and talk like you have 100% natural teeth. 

The life-changing benefits of full-mouth implants

Conventional dentures are secured in place with suction or dental adhesives. Unfortunately, when you lose teeth, your jawbone starts deteriorating, reducing its volume and density. Because of the shrunk jawbone, your traditional dentures become loose and need frequent adjustments. 

Fixed dentures are secured in the mouth, with dental implants placed strategically in the jawbone. Because of this unique design, implant-supported dentures offer several life-changing benefits.

• Unrivalled stability: Full-mouth dental implants restore a full arch of teeth with as few as four implants placed in the jawbone. Even then, the all-on-4 technique offers excellent stability when using your teeth. This means you no longer have to be limited to soft foods only. With implant dentures, you can enjoy steak, apples, corn on the cob, and other foods considered forbidden for wearers of traditional dentures. Furthermore, conventional dentures can slip out of place, making speech articulation a nightmare. Implant dentures remain in place at all times, allowing you to make a speech, chat with friends, and talk on the phone without worrying about your teeth.
• Preserved jawbone: Missing teeth deny the functional stimulation required to regenerate your jawbone. As a result, your jawbone “wastes away,” which diminishes your oral function and makes you look older than you really are. Dental implants substitute natural roots, stimulating the jawbone to maintain its shape and strength. A healthy bone maintains your youthfulness and oral function, so your dentures don’t require frequent adjustments. 
• Easy maintenance: Just because you have new teeth, it doesn’t mean you change your regular oral routine. Implant-supported dentures are maintained like natural teeth. You don’t need any special teeth-cleaning tools or techniques. You only need to brush and floss your teeth as usual and visit a dentist every six months for routine exams and cleanings. 
• Durability: Once dental implants integrate with the jawbone, they can stay in place for a lifetime. Because of their permanence, implant-supported dentures offer a cost-effective solution in the long run compared to conventional teeth replacements.
