There are two basic kinds of dentures: standard dentures and denture implants. You can have partial or complete dentures, depending on how many teeth you are missing. If you have missing or damaged teeth, you should consult with a dentist about possibly having them replaced with dentures. You should also ask about implants. They provide a little more permanence and stability than standard dentures.
Implants
Denture implants in Plano TX are actually affixed to your gums instead of just fitting into your mouth. They can replace a few missing teeth, or all of your teeth. They work by being anchored into your gums. It will take a couple of dentist visits to get your implants fitted properly. First, the dentist will take a cast of your mouth so the implants can be designed. The dentist will then make tiny incisions in the gums. The anchors will be implanted into the gums.
If you think you might need implants, you can contact Innate Dental Solutions to schedule the first appointment. Once the incision has healed in your gums, the dentures will then be affixed to the anchors. You’ll then have permanent replacements to your teeth.
Benefits
The permanence is the biggest benefit of denture implants. You don’t have to take them out every night to clean them. Instead, you can brush them like your natural teeth. When properly fitted and installed, they’ll feel and look like natural teeth. You will be able to eat, drink, and talk normally while wearing your implants.
From time to time, you’ll have to have the dentures repaired or replaced, but this can be done quickly. You have to replace them occasionally since dentures can be as much as ten times softer than natural teeth. They also have tiny pores that can allow some bacteria. A good cleaning from time to time will usually prevent that from happening.
