Knowing more about implants and dentures

Dental implants are often used to secure a denture in place so that the latter can be more stable and bring a more pleasing smile.

The dental implant may help improve overall oral health and improve the appearance of one’s smile. One can ask a dentist about the benefits of implant-secured dentures.

Dentures which are secured using implants give the feeling of having natural teeth. It is important that the dentist uses high quality material to help bring a winning smile.

However, folks need to realize things about dentures and implents.

Dentures are naturally bulky and may slip when a patient is eating or speaking. Patients who wear dentures may feel a bit conscious when they laugh or smile as the dentures may slip out.

Dentures are not able to provide jawbone stability or prevent facial regression.

In some cases, dental implants may be a better option for patients to provide better oral health and pleasing smile compared to dentures.

Those who want to have dental implents, it is required that they should have substantial healthy bone tissue for a better result. 

The patient without healthy bone tissue may need to get other procedures to optimize bone tissue health before getting dental implants.

To understand implants better, dental implants are surgically implanted into the bone tissue. The idea is to integrate the implant with the jaw for several months. The implants are there to help regenerate bone tissue and support the facial structure, which is essential in maintaining a winning smile.
