For many people saving their natural teeth is not possible due to an accident or injury, gum disease, tooth decay or even genetic factors. In this cease your dentist may recommend removal of any remaining teeth and replacing them with full dentures. It was not too long ago that the only option people had with dentures were the traditional removable options, but now denture implants in Spring, TX may be well worth considering.
The Problem with Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures, no matter how expertly made and customized, are still hard plastic molds that fit to your gums. Over time and with minor irritations and changes to the tissue of the gum the gaps between your dentures and your gums can expand, causing the dentures to become loose. This allows food particles to get up under the dentures and cause irritation.
In addition, biting down on one side of the denture or even taking a bite using the front teeth causes moment all along the plate, rubbing and irritating the gums. People may also be self-conscious about denture movement, limiting their ability to enjoy eating and talking in public.
Denture Implants Can Solve the Problem
Denture implants in Spring, TX act very much like dental implants for a single tooth. However, these are actually four small titanium posts that are inserted into the jaw and the bone fuses with the post to create a solid anchor. It is most commonly done with the lower denture but, in some cases, it may be required for the upper denture as well.
The bottom of the dentures are fitted with specially designed fixtures that snap over the top of the titanium posts, holding the denture firmly in place at four different points. This virtually eliminates movement when eating, biting, chewing or talking, giving denture wearers back their confidence.
You care for your denture implants in Spring, TX just as you would your real teeth. They can be removed as needed and then snapped back into place, but ideally they should remain in the mouth as much as possible.
