New Denture Implants Prevent Perplexing Situations

If you’ve been wearing dentures for a long time, chances are you’ve been in some extremely awkward situations. After all, standard dentures have a nasty reputation of coming loose, resulting in reduced functionality or even falling out of the mouth while talking. Fortunately, a quick visit to a reputable dentist can help you with your denture woes.

Everything begins with you discussing your plight with the practitioner and a full check of all your teeth, plus testing if you are eligible for implantation. The dentist may advise you of certain issues that rule out implantation, such as existing periodontal disorders or health problems that affect the gums. The dentures may also have to be analyzed for their original fit and determine if some bone loss has occurred.

Advances in oral technology have enabled the development of innovative mini implants, which have been found to be effective against loose dentures. One benefit of mini implantation is that the entire procedure will not take more than an hour to finish. The current dentures will also be fixed up to properly interlock with the implants or you can consent to creating new dentures.

It's never good to see an elderly loved one struggle with their palates; on the other side of the coin, they can feel it too despite the best adhesive products being used to keep the dentures in place. If you or your loved one can no longer invest in denture adhesives that will degrade before long, consider going for sturdy denture implants.
