Many people wear dentures to replace one or both arches of teeth. They are a popular solution, and some people find them comfortable. But this situation can change over time, and Ajax dentures can become increasingly loose-fitting, so they begin to rub uncomfortably on the gums. As the dentures start to move around more frequently, it becomes trickier to eat correctly, and there is always the worry that the dentures could fall out when talking or socializing with others. One solution is denture adhesive, but if you have ever tried this, you will already know it is messy and expensive and doesn’t solve the problem.
What Causes Dentures to Become Loose-fitting?
Dentures become increasingly ill-fitting due to changes affecting your jawbone and all the bones in your body. Your jawbone is continually remodeling, but it relies on the stimulation provided by natural tooth roots to keep it strong and healthy. When your Whitby dentist removes your natural teeth, your jawbone no longer receives any stimulation from the tooth roots, and consequently, the jawbone begins to resorb. The effect becomes quite visible over time, as the ridge of bone that supported your denture adequately begins to flatten and narrow, so there is less and less retention to hold the denture in place.
While one option is to have your dentures relined, where your dentist adds additional material to the denture’s face, it doesn’t and doesn’t the real problem. Another long-term solution is dental implants in Oshawa; treatment may be far more straightforward than you imagine with implant-supported dentures.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?
One reason it’s worth cit’sdering implant-supported dentures in Newcastle is that treatment is very straightforward. Often, only two or four dental implants are needed to hold a lower denture securely, so treatment is affordable. Usually, lower dentures become more ill-fitting than upper dentures because of their design, as an upper denture is more considerable, covering the upper palate. Dental implants can also secure an upper denture, but you will probably need more dental implants to hold it in place. One advantage of having an upper implant-supported denture is the way it is constructed. The denture can be made in a horseshoe shape, like a lower denture, and uncoveriuncoverper palate. It will feel less bulky, and you might notice food is tastier because your upper palate contains taste buds that were previously hidden.
Once the implants are in place, your denture will clip onto them so you can snap them in and out whenever necessary. You will enjoy a greater biting strength, so your choice of foods increases. No need to worry; your dentures will slip or fall out when you eat or speak. When designing implant dentures, we take enormous care, ensuring they preserve your facial structure, supporting your cheeks and lips. Unlike dentures, implant dentures rest on the implants and not on your gums, so there is no risk they will create sore spots or rub uncomfortably.
