¿Sabías que 15% of Americans 65 or older have lost all of their teeth? And for most Americans, dentures are the go-to tooth-replacement solution. However, traditional dentures aren’t the most reliable option, as they tend to loosen over time. Loose or floating dentures shift around in your mouth, irritating your gums and making chewing a challenge. If you’re tired of your loose denture, we may be able to anchor it in place with mini dental implants! At Fine Dental Care in Wayne, NJ, we offer amazing solutions that keep your dentures secure and your smile as happy as can be!
Understanding Floating Dentures
While a tried-and-true solution for complete tooth loss, prótesis tradicionales often come with unfortunate stability problems. When they begin to move around on your gums as you eat or speak, we refer to them as “floating dentures.”
Floating dentures cause frustrations such as:
- Chewing problems
- Enunciation issues
- Gum irritation
This movement occurs for several reasons.
For one, traditional dentures rely on your gums and jawbone for support. But after tooth loss, your jaw will begin to shrink over time due to a lack of stimulation. These dentures do nothing to stop bone loss, so they will lose their perfect fit as your jawbone deteriorates.
Secondly, you take traditional dentures in and out of your mouth all day, which increases the chance for loss or damage. If even left to dry out, your dentures may warp or lose their shape, requiring a denture reline.
But at Fine Dental Care, we provide ways for patients to stop bone loss in its tracks and restore their smile: implantes dentales!
Los implantes dentales pueden estabilizar las prótesis flotantes
Dental implants, especially miniimplantes dentalesson la solución moderna al dilema de las dentaduras flotantes. Piense en los miniimplantes dentales como anclajes diminutos pero potentes que sujetan firmemente su dentadura postiza. Garantizan que la dentadura se ajuste perfectamente, sea cómoda y funcione como un diente natural.
¿Y lo mejor? Los miniimplantes tienen un procedimiento de colocación mucho más sencillo que los implantes tradicionales de mayor tamaño. En placement is minimally invasive, simple, and doesn’t require multiple visits. Instead of making an incision in your gums that would require a longer healing period, Dr. Fine simply makes a tiny pilot hole through the gums. This process is comfortable thanks to a local anesthetic.
La ventaja de los miniimplantes
La estabilización de prótesis con miniimplantes ofrece varias ventajas sobre las prótesis dentales tradicionales y las opciones de implantes dentales convencionales.
- Estabilidad mejorada: Los miniimplantes se fijan directamente en el hueso maxilar, proporcionando una conexión firme y estable. Su pequeño tamaño -menos de 3 mm de grosor- los convierte en una gran opción para patients who’ve already lost some jawbone density.
Procedimiento simplificado: For eligible patients, Dr. Fine and his experienced team complete the entire mini implant process en una sola visita. Dr. Fine has decades of experience, and our practice is proud to be the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Wayne, NJ. When you choose our practice, you can trust that you’re in good hands!- Recuperación más rápida: Por su pequeño tamaño y fácil instalación, recovery from a mini implant procedure is quick. Most patients return to their normal routines in 24-48 hours.
- Mejor salud de la mandíbula: Mini implants use a single-piece titanium design, which discourages bacterial growth at the connection point of two-piece traditional implants. They also act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the jaw to prevent further bone and tissue loss.
- Menor coste: Colocar miniimplantes de forma más rápida y sencilla significa que el proceso cuesta aproximadamente la mitad como los implantes tradicionales.
We offer various implant denture options that use mini dental implants. There are removable snap-on overdentures or the semi-removable Fix-on-Six® option. A permanent, non-removable roundhouse bridge is the most stable and functional option. In certain cases, depending on your denture size and quality, we may be able to convertir prótesis tradicionales existentes en sobredentaduras que se adhieren a estos mini implantes. En su consulta gratuita, el Dr. Fine le ayudará a revisar las opciones y elegir la mejor opción para sus necesidades.
