Missing Most of Your Teeth? Reasons to Consider Implant Dentures

Losing baby teeth is natural and expected, as it makes room for your permanent teeth to come in. Permanent teeth, however, are meant to endure a lifetime. When they go missing, it’s problematic. For major tooth loss issues, Dr. Jamie J. Alexander, D.D.S., from Boynton Beach, Florida, recommends implants for your teeth. Implant dentures are strong, secure, functional, and attractive—everything you could ask for in restoring your smile.

Reasons to Choose Implant Dentures for Replacing Lost Teeth

Unlike traditional dentures that sit on your gums, implant dentures are supported by titanium posts that are placed inside your jaw through implant surgery. Getting a tooth implant isn’t as overwhelming as you may think. Dr. Alexander will make an incision in your gums to gain access to your jawbone. We’ll then drill a small hole in the bone, insert the implant, and stitch your gum for healing. The entire process is done under anesthesia, so you feel no pain or discomfort.

With all-on-4 implant treatment, only four implants are needed to support an entire arch of the upper or lower teeth. Once in place, we’ll wait three to six months for the implants to integrate with your bone system to support new teeth. After the implants heal, we’ll top them with abutments (connectors) and your denture to make your smile whole again.

If you’re looking at options for replacing lost teeth, here are some good reasons to put implants at the top of your list:

• Full Chewing Power to Enjoy Your Meals!

Tooth loss makes it difficult to bite and chew, restricting what you can eat. Implants restore your chewing power so you can eat normally again. You can put crunchy, crispy, and chewy foods back on your menu with implant dentures! Artificial tooth roots hold Implant teeth firmly in place, so there’s no risk of them coming loose. You’ll be able to eat a well-balanced diet and get full nutritional value from your food.

• Fewer Oral Health Issues

Replacing teeth with implants restores balance to your system, leading to fewer oral health issues. Implants prevent bone loss, keeping your jaw strong and healthy. They fill the gap of missing teeth to minimize plaque buildup that can cause decay and gum disease. With implant dentures, your smile will be straight and even, eliminating problems with jaw disorders and malocclusion.

• Better Oral Hygiene

Tooth loss creates large gaps in your smile, where food and debris can hide, and bacteria can breed. Implant dentures eliminate those gaps to help improve oral hygiene. Your teeth will be easier to brush and floss, keeping your breath and mouth fresh and clean.

• Pleasing Appearance

By customizing your denture, Dr. Alexander can give your new smile a pleasing, natural appearance. A healthy, full, attractive smile will make you look and feel younger again.
