If you wear dentures, you know that they are not an ideal solution for missing teeth. Common problems with them include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, and bone loss. The good news? Dental implants from Shwarts Family Dentistry in Richardson offer a superior alternative.
Implant anchored dentures can change your life. Your chewing ability will be similar to that of natural teeth and you will be able to eat hard foods again.
You know what they say: if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But set aside any skepticism. Hundreds of thousands of people already war implant-supported dentures, with great success.
As you may know, a dental implant is a titanium post that is placed in the jaw, where it fuses with the bone. A single post can support a single artificial tooth. Multiple posts, strategically placed, can support a set of dentures.
Advantages of implant-supported dentures include:
- Stability. Because they are attached to titanium posts that have fused with the jaw, people have much greater biting and chewing power.
- Natural in appearance. They look more like natural teeth, and are easier to care for.
- Built to last. Because they are physically attached to the jaw, implants are long-lasting.
- Prevents bone recession. With traditional dentures, the bone around missing tooth roots begin to deteriorate. The titanium posts replace some of the tooth rootes, so the bone is preserved.
Implant-supported dentures have the ability to transform your life, and they are among the procedures available at Shwarts Family Dentistry in Richardson. We also offer general dentistry. Call our office to schedule an appointment today.
