Indeed, dentures provide reliable tooth replacement that can look beautiful. However, as wonderful as dentures are, it must be acknowledged that they come with some drawbacks. For instance, they may become destabilized and slip around in the mouth. They also do not support the health of the jawbone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/denture-stabilization.html\">Implant-supported tooth replacement<\/a>, on the other hand, is incredibly sturdy <em>and <\/em>helps to keep the jawbone healthy and whole. Are you ready to transition from dentures to dental implants? Here is a general overview of what you can expect as you make the switch.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Before You Get Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>If it has already been some time since you lost your natural teeth, you may have lost some bone density in your jaw. It is possible that your dentist will determine that you need a bone graft to ensure that your jaw has sufficient volume to support dental implants. You might need additional preparatory treatment as well, such as gum disease therapy. When your mouth is healthy and able to support dental implants, you will undergo an implant placement surgery.<\/p>\n<h2>Implant Placement and Recovery<\/h2>\n<p>After the implants have been inserted into your jawbone, osseointegration will begin. This process, during which the implants will fuse with the bone around them, enables your new teeth to have the sturdiest base of support possible. Osseointegration typically takes at least a few months. In the meantime, you will have to avoid any foods that might slow down your healing process.<\/p>\n<h2>Receiving and Using Your New Teeth<\/h2>\n<p>Following osseointegration, you can look forward to getting your new, implant-retained denture. Some traditional dentures can be retrofitted to work with implants, but it is more likely that you\u2019ll require a new prosthetic altogether. Your denture may be permanently fixed to your implants, or it might easily snap onto and off of small attachments on top of the implants.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few notes to keep in mind as you begin to use your new teeth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At first, you may find it wise to eat only soft foods. However, once you get used to your new denture, you will discover that it is easier than ever to eat a wide variety of foods, including raw vegetables, hearty meats, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When you got your non-implant denture, you probably experienced increased saliva production. You may note something similar with your implant denture.<\/li>\n<li>Oral hygiene will remain as important as ever. It is particularly vital that you clean the areas around your implants in order to prevent infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Transitioning to dental implants takes time and patience, but the payoff is well worth it! Your local dentist would be happy to help you gain the sturdy, strong smile you deserve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drs.
