Implant Dentures
What Are Implant Dentures?
Regular dentures sit on top of the gums and often have difficulty staying in place without the need for messy adhesive. Instead, implant dentures are secured onto a small number of dental implants that have been surgically placed into the jaw. By replacing lost teeth from the roots up through the crowns, the end result is a smile that looks and feels almost as natural as your original one.
Implant dentures are versatile enough to come in two types:
The Implant Denture Procedure
Implants can fail for several reasons, with the most common being a condition called peri-implantitis, which occurs when the gums become infected. This infection can destroy the connective tissue around the implant and weaken the jawbone, leading to loosening. Poor dental hygiene is often the culprit.
Other reasons for implant failure include damage from injury, failed osseointegration, and unhealthy habits like heavy tobacco use. Medical conditions and improper tooth usage can also contribute. If you have bruxism, we recommend a nightguard to prevent damage from teeth grinding.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentures?
Dental implants require sufficient bone density for support, making this a key qualification. Good oral health is also essential; any issues like gum disease or tooth decay should be resolved beforehand, as they can lead to implant failure.
If your dentist in South Plainfield finds inadequate bone support, options include a bone graft, which adds minerals to promote bone rebuilding, or All-On-4 dentures, which use four strategically placed implants to secure a full denture in just one appointment.
