In a recent study call <em>Biting Into Denture Care <\/em>by Survata, 34% of denture-wearing participants said that dentures limit their ability to live life to the fullest. Even though dentures have come a long way since their creation, they still leave a lot to be desired when compared to real teeth. Fortunately, they can now be paired with dental implants for dramatically better results! Read on to learn more about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flowermoundsmiles.com\/dental-implants.html\">implant dentures in Flower Mound<\/a> can improve your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denture Downsides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern-day dentures are precisely crafted out of high-quality materials to be more lifelike, comfortable, and durable than ever before. Nonetheless, they aren\u2019t without their drawbacks, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>They won\u2019t always fit perfectly. <\/strong>As your mouth naturally changes shape over time, your dentures will lose their close fit and become loose.<\/li><li><strong>They don\u2019t protect jawbone density.<\/strong> Without the roots of your missing teeth, your jawbone will gradually diminish over time, which can change your facial shape.<\/li><li><strong>They\u2019ll need to be replaced eventually.<\/strong> Dentures only last five to seven years, at which point they\u2019ll need to be replaced. Not only is this inconvenient, but it can end up costing you quite a bit of money.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pairing Dentures With Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are widely regarded as the golden standard for tooth replacement. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants are designed to rebuild the entire structure of a missing tooth. The dental implant itself is a small titanium post that can be inserted directly into the jawbone. Once there, it fuses with the bone tissue to create a strong foundation and essentially replace the missing tooth roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants can be used anywhere in the mouth to replace any number of missing teeth. In fact, four to six dental implants are often enough to anchor a full denture in place. Implant dentures look just like traditional dentures, except that instead of relying on natural suction or denture adhesive, they stay in place via dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Implant Denture Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting implant dentures will typically cost more time and money than traditional dentures, but the vast majority of patients agree that they are well worth the investment. Implant dentures offer a variety of important benefits that you simply can\u2019t experience with removable dentures, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dramatically improved biting force: <\/strong>Implant dentures restore 80% or more of your natural chewing power, allowing you to easily eat nuts, apples, steak, and anything else on your plate.<\/li><li><strong>Improved oral health &amp; jawbone density:<\/strong> Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures won\u2019t cause gum sores and will actively work to prevent jawbone deterioration.<\/li><li><strong>Save thousands of dollars over time:<\/strong> While dentures need to be replaced and realigned frequently, the one-time cost of implant dentures can potentially last a lifetime.<\/li><li><strong>Unmatched confidence in your smile.<\/strong> Traditional dentures are notorious for slipping and popping out of place at embarrassing times. Since implant dentures are anchored firmly into your jawbone, you\u2019ll never have to worry about slippage!<\/li><li><strong>Long-lasting results you can count on<\/strong>: Implant dentures have a 95% success rate even 10 years after placement, and most patients can expect to enjoy their new smile for a lifetime.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to see how implant dentures can improve your life? Don\u2019t hesitate to give your dentist a call today and schedule a consultation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr. Lauri Barge and her experienced team love serving the smiles of Flower Mound and the surrounding communities.
