In the world of tooth replacement, there\u2019s nothing worse than a denture that doesn\u2019t fit the way it should. When you\u2019re constantly worried about it slipping around in your mouth or falling out completely, you just can\u2019t live your most productive life. Because they provide unsurpassed stability, dental implants eliminate the problems associated with a poorly-fitting denture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A dental implant acts as a prosthetic root. It\u2019s a tiny titanium cylinder that\u2019s surgically placed beneath the gum line, where it gradually fuses with the jaw bone. This process is called osseointegration, and it provides the ultimate in stability for full or partial dentures in the top or bottom of the jaw. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you are deciding between a non-implant retained tooth replacement or securing your denture with dental implants, know that the benefits of the latter far outweigh the non-implant option. It\u2019s true that dental implants are more costly than their alternatives, but patients who choose implant dentistry agree that it\u2019s truly the best investment you can make for your smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The advantages of dental implants include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Restored ability to eat, speak, and smile with full confidence<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Increased stability for your denture (and no need for denture adhesives)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Natural-looking and comfortable tooth replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Better oral health<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When properly maintained, dental implants can last a lifetime. And because they keep your jawbone healthy and whole, your denture won\u2019t need refitting to keep up with your shrinking bone mass. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Can An Existing Denture Be Retained by Dental Implants?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re currently dealing with an ill-fitting denture, dental implants may or may not be an option for you. Your candidacy for implant dentistry depends on the state of your jaw bone. Dental implants may be possible with a bone augmentation procedure. Discuss your candidacy for dental implants with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longfamilydental.com\/dr-robert.html\"><span class=\"s3\">Dr. Robert Long or Dr. Chris Long<\/span><\/a> to know for sure. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Talk to Us About Dental Implants Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Whether you are tired of living with an ill-fitting denture or if you\u2019re on the brink of total tooth loss, let\u2019s discuss retaining your denture with dental implants.
