Dental implant dentures also known as false teeth are often used as an alternative to the missing teeth. These are often removable teeth and are usually supported by soft and hard tissues present in the oral activity. The person might have lost the teeth due to several reasons such as accidental falls or tooth decay. Dr. Kezian and staff work with implants which provide the ultimate solution for individuals suffering from loose dentures – which can be annoying at times. There are occasions where people using dentures find them getting slipped while eating and moving unnaturally while engaging in conversation with other people. Fitting is an important aspect of any denture implantation in the patient.
The major cause of loose dentures is jawbone deterioration. It is natural for the jawbone to shrink due to the absence of teeth. The jaw bone usually stays healthy through chewing stimulation from the connecting tooth roots which obtain nutrients from the patient’s body. The loss of teeth results in the stoppage of nutrients being received by the jawbone which eventually starts shrinking. This is what causes the failure of dentures to fit perfectly in the jaw of the person’s mouth.
Dr. Kezian recommends dental implant dentures which will help the patient restore tooth functionality by replacing traditional dentures. The restoration procedure comprises of two parts: ‘Dental Implant Rod’ and ‘Dental Crown’.
· Dental Implant Rod is usually made up of bio compatible titanium which allows the dental implant to move forward with the jaw similar to that of a tooth root.· The second part is the dental crown which is placed comfortably towards the top of implanted rod. It is designed to serve the exposed structure of the missing teeth. It is manufactured with porcelain and is shaped to look like a natural tooth.
· The combination of dental implant rod and dental crown together constitutes a secured tooth replacement that looks realistic in nature.
It has a lot of benefits compared to the traditional form of dentures.
· One of the greatest benefits of dental implants is that it does not need any messy pastes or any form of suction for staying inside the mouth of the individual.· It stays intact while eating some of the toughest foods. This is made possible with the help of an implanted rod.
· These kind of dental restorations are durable in nature and will last a lifetime if proper oral care is undertaken by the patient.
· It can also be easily maintained compared to traditional dentures.
Instead of removing the dentures from the mouth, the dental implant technique does not require any removal and the person can brush and floss their dental implant similar to that of a natural tooth. It gives the patient the same feeling as that of natural teeth. The method of placement makes it stronger compared to dentures. Thus it creates a stable foundation that is required for a natural looking tooth restoration. The direct implementation to the jawbone makes it the closest and most preferred choice to a natural tooth.
New techniques eliminate the denture pains that patients experience even with modern denture methods. Pain is supposed to be the highest in people who are using a full set of lower dentures. These are some of the reasons that have led to the increase in popularity of dental implants as a quicker and natural substitute for the missing teeth. Dr. Kezian's office offers the best solution for the missing teeth problem using advanced generation methods making it a much better option compared to conventional dentures.
