Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-Retained Dentures in Reedley, CA
Implant retained dentures are more secure than traditional dentures. Removable dentures must be held in place by a bonding agent, and are traditionally known for coming loose when you eat certain foods. Implants are held in place more securely and are overall more reliable.
- Implant dentures are also more comfortable for the wearer. Most people report they don’t even feel like they have dentures in.
- Implant retained dentures also prevent the wearer from experiencing sore spots and pressure points commonly associated with removable dentures.
- When wearing implanted dentures, it prevents further bone loss that occurs from missing teeth. This also allows the facial structure to stay the same, and keeps your mouth healthier.
If you are looking for implant-retained dentures in Reedley, CA, Reedley Family Dental can help you explore options for replacing multiple missing teeth and improving the stability of a denture. Unlike conventional dentures that rest primarily on the gums, implant-retained dentures are supported by dental implants that are placed in the jawbone. This can provide additional stability while eating and speaking.
Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, jawbone condition, and the number and location of missing teeth before recommending an appropriate treatment plan. If you are considering dental implants, our team can explain how implant treatment may be incorporated into your overall tooth-replacement plan.
Patients who have experienced significant jawbone loss may need bone grafting before certain implant procedures. For patients looking for other implant options, mini implants may also be worth discussing depending on their individual needs.
Traditional dentures remain another option for replacing multiple or all missing teeth. A consultation with our Reedley dental team can help you compare available tooth-replacement options and determine which approach may be appropriate for your oral health and goals.
