Dental Implant Dentures
Dentures often do not fit properly due to changing jaw support in the mouth as bone naturally shrinks away. As the supporting tissues around the denture shrink, the denture becomes less secure and not easily retained in the mouth. A secure fit is necessary for adequate speaking and eating. A poor fit is uncomfortable and inevitable without something to anchor the denture and to preserve the bone from natural shrinking.
These patients have only two options:
- Have a current denture relined by a laboratory (or a new one made) and make due with continual shrinkage and instability by using adhesives, or.
- Have dental implant treatment to anchor and secure your denture, thus stopping the bone from shrinking in the area and giving you a stable, confident, and comfortable smile
