3 Facts You Need To Know About Denture Implants

All About Denture Implants

1. Denture Implants Function And Look Like Natural Teeth
   Because denture implants are a permanent denture solution, they do not need to be removed for care the way complete dentures do. Instead, you can brush your denture implants the same way that you would brush your natural teeth. Denture implants are also nearly as strong as natural teeth and since they are secured in place, there is no risk of movement. This gives you more freedom to eat the foods you want without fear of pulling your dentures out of place or damaging them. Because denture implants stay in place, you also don’t have to worry about anyone seeing your dentures move and knowing they aren’t your real teeth. In general, denture implants are very simple to care for because they are so similar to your natural teeth.
    
2. Denture Implants Protect Against Jawbone Loss
   The jawbone needs the root of the teeth to avoid a process called resorption. When there are no natural teeth and therefore no roots within the jawbone, the jawbone begins to shrink and weaken and many people who wear complete dentures will see an alteration in their face shape over the years. But denture implants can help maintain your natural face shape. Because denture implants are fused to the jaw, they take the place of a natural tooth root. When you chew with denture implants, your body interprets the artificial implants as a real tooth root and it preserves your jawbone shape and strength.
    
3. Denture Implant Surgery Is Common And Safe
   Although denture implants take a while to heal and have a few phases of surgery and healing, the surgeries are actually fairly common, simple, and safe. Oral surgeons perform a lot of dental implant surgeries, which are essentially the same as denture implants, so dental surgeons typically have a lot of experience with this type of surgery. Even though the surgery involves placing an artificial implant into the jaw and waiting for this to fuse, the actual surgery itself is very safe, quick surgery that typically only requires localized anaesthesia. Most denture implants are all-on-4 dentures, meaning only 4 implants are used to hold the dentures in place. This gives the jaw enough stimulation to avoid resorption while also securing the dentures without the need for extensive surgery.
