Secure Dentures
Dentures restore the healthy function and appearance of a
smile after tooth loss. These dental restorations are ideal
for replacing a few or all missing teeth. However, dentures
do not resolve the problem of bone deterioration, which is
a consequence of losing natural teeth. Losing the teeth also
results to the loss of tooth roots, which stimulate the
jawbone into maintaining its healthy condition. Without
this stimulation, the jawbone deteriorates and becomes
thinner in time.
Jawbone deterioration contributes to loose denture
problems, especially when the dentures are already being
used for a few years. Dentures that once fitted tightly over
the gums and jaw will become loose as the years pass by,
as the jawbone underneath continuously deteriorates and
becomes thinner without the stimulation from lost tooth
roots.
Securing Loose Dentures with Mini Implants
Mini dental implants are used to secure the dentures in place to
stop the problems caused by loose dentures. These implants are
smaller in diameter compared to traditional dental implants,
and can be placed into the jawbone using a minimally-invasive
procedure. Without the need for more complicated implant
placement procedures, the recovery period after placing mini
implants is much shorter (compared to traditional implants
placement). This minimally-invasive procedure also enables
the mini implants to be used immediately after loading – there
is no need to wait for a long time just to enjoy the benefits of
mini implants to secure loose dentures.
Loose dentures are held firmly in place with the help of
mini dental implants. The implants are embedded into the
jawbone to offer a secure base to which the dentures can be
attached to, preventing the dental restorations from their
uncontrollable movements. Dentures which once moved
around inside the mouth will be securely held in place,
preventing the discomfort caused by dentures that rub
painfully against the tender mouth tissue, gums, and the
tongue.
The embarrassment that comes with loose dentures can be
put to an end with mini dental implants. As the dentures are
secured in place with the smaller implants, denture wearers
will enjoy increased confidence in smiling, speaking, and
mingling with other people once more – without worrying
about a potential embarrassing episode with loose dentures
accidentally falling off. Dentures that once moved around
inside the mouth will be kept firmly in place and will be
stopped from accidental movements. Eating and chewing
on favourite food items will also be enjoyed even more
when dentures are secured with mini implants.
