\"WomanAre you ready to toss your denture adhesives in the trash because you\u2019re finally investing in dental implants? That\u2019s great! You\u2019re never going to have to worry about any slipping or irritation again because 4-10 dental implants will anchor your denture to your jawbone. You\u2019ll benefit from unmatched stability using a nearly perfect replica of your real teeth; however, they won\u2019t feel like your dentures. There\u2019s going to be a bit of an adjustment period. Here\u2019s what you can expect when making the transition from dentures to dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Say goodbye to denture annoyances.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you first treated your missing teeth, dentures were likely appealing because they provided quick results that accommodated your budget. After the excitement of your new smile wore off, a few denture annoyances likely set in. They require a lot of maintenance, and they must be replaced every few years. You\u2019ll never deal with those issues again. Although you\u2019ll need oral surgery and the process may take longer, you\u2019ll gain a solution that\u2019s proven to last for decades if you take the time to care for them like you would your real teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mimic your natural teeth.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as tooth roots. They\u2019ll stimulate your bone to encourage new growth. Your bone will fuse to them through a process called osseointegration to provide exceptional support. You won\u2019t need to worry about your teeth falling out when you\u2019re laughing or skipping a juicy steak next time you eat out. Implant dentures will never move from position, so you won\u2019t even deal with food particles getting trapped underneath them. You\u2019ll regain as much as 70% of your biting force for stability you can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You might need bone grafting.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Losing even a single tooth can cause your jawbone to shrink by as much as 25% within the first year. Significant tooth loss can leave the jaw severely weakened, which means it won\u2019t be able to support dental implants. As a result, your implant dentist may recommend bone grafting to enhance the jaw\u2019s thickness. Although this isn\u2019t needed with traditional dentures, bone grafting can be crucial for the long-term success of your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You can\u2019t use your old dentures.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your old dentures can\u2019t be used along with dental implants because they aren\u2019t constructed from good enough material. Your new teeth will be carefully crafted to meet your exact specifications. You\u2019ll have exceptional comfort because special attachments will connect your new denture to your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to settle for less than the best. There will be a small learning curve, but in no time at all, you\u2019ll forget your dental implants aren\u2019t your real teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
