Many denture wearers breathe a sigh of relief when they get their first pair of dentures, because they think their dental problems are over. What they soon realize, however, is that they have just traded some old problems for new ones. As the years go by, the supporting ridges that remain after teeth have been removed gradually change and get smaller. A large change in weight can also alter the shape of the mouth, causing changes in the fit.
Implant dentures offer the benefit of a more natural fit and feel.
Dental implants substitute for the root portion of lost natural teeth by surgically inserting anchors placed in the jaw to firmly hold artificial teeth. They also help prevent your jawbone from deteriorating underneath a traditional full denture. If you have questions about your dentures, please call our office. If it is out of its socket completely and unattached, but still in the victim s mouth, it is best to have the person hold it there, if possible, until a dentist can attempt re-implantation. If it is out of the mouth , do not let it dry out.
