subject: Making The Case For Dentures [print this page] If you've recently begun thinking about getting dentures fitted, it is a big step and you might well be worried about any number of things; from whether the procedure is going to hurt to how they will look and feel with they are in your mouth. Perhaps you already have dentures and wish that you could go back to the time when your teeth were real and you didn't have to take them out at night and put them back in in the morning.
Maybe you're having trouble with your dentures not fitting correctly. You might sometimes feel insecure and not be able to eat the foods you like. There are denture alternatives, and there are ways to achieve a great smile and permanent, natural looking and performing teeth.
Dental implants for tooth replacement of denture improvement
Dental implants are fantastic denture alternatives. They will last you for life, they don't need to be taken out to sleep and you'll be able to eat the foods that you love again. Implant dentistry mends broken smiles and replaces missing teeth with titanium implants inserted into the bone where your missing tooth used to be.
A replicate tooth is attached to the tiny titanium cylinder. This tooth is a solid and permanent replacement that will restore your natural, polished smile. If you wear a partial denture replacing one or two teeth, you should consider dental implants as a alternative.
In addition, dental implants are a great solution for full denture wearers. Dental implants can make some un-wearable dentures functional and secure. Your West Haven or Milford, CT cosmetic dentist will be able to advise you as to what is best in your case.
Be aware that dental implants are not suitable for everyone. You will need a thorough exam and check-up so your dentist can ensure that you are in good general health, that you do not have gum disease and that the bones in your jaw will be able to adequately hold the implant.
After losing teeth your jaw can shrink or there can be loss of bone, so if you have missing teeth and you're thinking about dental implants, don't delay and make an appointment as soon as possible. Be aware that there are certain health conditions that may or may not make you a good candidate for dental implants and your cosmetic dentist will cover all that in your first visit.
