How can you ensure that your dental prosthetic stays secure? Many patients depend on dental implants, which can be used to hold a single tooth restoration, but they can also help support a dental bridge, or partial or full dentures. To keep the implant in place, it must be surgically inserted into your jawbone. The biocompatible titanium post enjoys extra support after healing, because your jawbone will fuse with it. Once the healing process is complete, your implants are capable of permanently keeping a restoration in place. In some cases, mini dental implants may be recommended.

There are several ways you can go about replacing a lost tooth. Dental implants are popular with dentists and patients alike for providing a permanent replacement tooth, as well as support for your jaw.

With the use of dental implants, you will not need to depend on epoxies or suction to make sure your dentures are held firmly.

Dental Implants Can Do More Than Hold A Single Tooth
When it comes to taking care of a lost tooth, a dental implant can be effective, reliable, and even beneficial to your jaw’s health. Unlike other prosthetic types, having an implant means addressing the loss of a tooth AND its root. Once the implant is successfully placed, and has had proper time to heal, your dentist can use a dental crown as a replacement tooth. However, dental implants are not necessarily just for replacing individual lost teeth. If you have struggled with the stability of dentures, you should know that hybrid dentures, a set of dentures held in place by a sequence of implants, are available.

Receiving Hybrid Dentures
Dentures can help you regain your smile after serious tooth loss. Partial dentures work around your remaining teeth, with hidden clasps keeping the set in place. Many people assume full dentures must be supported by adhesive, or with natural suction. However, these are not your only options. Hybrid dentures use the support of dental implants to stay in place. This form of support can limit problems related to keeping your dentures from moving in your mouth. The implants can also avoid friction affecting your jaw ridge, and reduce your risk of losing material in your jawbone. Continue reading “Receiving Hybrid Dentures”

How Dental Implants Can Keep Your Dentures Secure
Dentures can rely on support from natural suction, or epoxies, to stay in place, but these methods may not be sturdy enough for everyone. If you have dentures, and struggle to keep them in their proper place, implant-supported dentures may be a more attractive alternative. An implant-supported prosthetic will be anchored to a series of mini dental implants, which are inserted to your jawbone. This will provide extra support for the dentures, and can also lower the risk of bone loss in your jaw from having lost teeth. Dental implants can also be employed to address partial tooth loss.

3 Benefits Of Using Dental Implants For Replacement Teeth
The loss of a single tooth can have an adverse effect on your smile, and can make chewing and speaking uncomfortable. What you might not realize is that tooth loss can have effects that go beyond these immediate concerns. Teeth neighboring an absence have less support, and they face a greater risk of falling out. The loss of a tooth root can lead to bone loss in your jawbone. With a dental implant, your dentist can provide you with a replacement tooth that is anchored to your jaw, much like a tooth is anchored by its root. This can provide a stable replacement that can hold up against the daily demands of biting and chewing, as well as help fight jawbone depletion.
