Have you ever been at a family gathering, laughing at a joke or biting into a delicious meal when, all of a sudden, your dentures slip—or even fall out? The constant fear of something like this happening is a real issue with ill-fitting dentures. Traditional dentures will, over time, lose the tight fit they once had, thanks to wear and tear and the changing shape of your gumline. For the 40 million Americans who use dentures, this is not only a major annoyance in private but can also be a big source of public embarrassment. Thankfully, there’s a solution for loose dentures that leverages the benefits of dental implants. At the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Wayne, NJ, Dr. Fine uses pioneering mini dental implants to secure loose and floating dentures.
Loose Dentures Are More Than Just a Nuisance
Dealing with a set of loose dentures isn’t just about potential awkward moments—they can be harmful to your overall oral health. If dentures aren’t secure, they can shift in your mouth. This shifting can lead to gum irritation or mouth sores. Unfortunately, addressing loose dentures is a standard part of denture care, requiring continuous adjustments.
Loose dentures impact your diet, too. Because of their reduced bite force, it’s difficult to eat certain foods with traditional dentures, like raw vegetables and certain meats. This makes consuming a varied diet challenging, and many people resort to eliminating food groups altogether.
How Implant Dentures Can Help
Imagine a world where your dentures are always held firmly in place. No more adjustments or fear of slippage; you can speak, eat, and laugh confidently. All this is possible with implant dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip out of place, implant dentures are anchored to mini dental implants. These implants are screwed into the jawbone, creating a secure, sturdy solution. Small yet strong, mini implants ensure your dentures stay put.
The Big Benefits of Mini Implant Dentures
These aren’t your grandfather’s dental implants. Mini implants are much smaller, about the width of a toothpick, making the placement procedure quicker and less invasive. Their size also allows them to be used in scenarios where conventional implants aren’t an option. For those with already reduced bone density, mini implants provide superior tooth replacement solutions without the need for bone grafting in most cases.
Additionally, the less invasive procedure means a much quicker recovery process. The entire procedure can typically be done in a single day. And here’s where it gets even better: these implants are more cost effective than traditional implants, addressing many patients’ financial concerns. Traditional dental implants take months to heal and require multiple visits to the dentist. All that extra time translates to extra costs, and because mini dental implants remove that excess, the savings are passed on to you.
Despite their cost-effectiveness, we understand that financial concerns can be a barrier when considering any dental procedure. But our practice is committed to making mini implant solutions accessible to as many individuals as possible. We work with various financing companies to ensure affordability, making this treatment available to individuals regardless of budget constraints. And, if dealing with your dental insurance seems confusing, don’t stress! We’re here to help guide you, helping you understand every option available to maximize your benefits and get the most out of your coverage.
Implant Dentures Make Life Simpler
With implant dentures, your food choices don’t have to be limited. Remember those crunchy, chewy foods you might’ve avoided, like fresh vegetables or a juicy steak? You can now enjoy them again without fear of discomfort or denture damage. Moreover, your speech, which might have been affected by traditional dentures, can be clearer and more confident. The assurance that loose dentures won’t pose a threat adds to the improved speaking experience.
Additionally, implant dentures eliminate the need for frequent adjustments, requiring only the regular professional cleanings you’re used to. These features simplify your life, allowing you to devote less time to concerns about your teeth and more time enjoying the benefits of denture stabilization.
