Dealing with loose dentures can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but dental implants offer a permanent, secure solution. Implants provide a natural fit and feel, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about your dentures slipping.
At A Caring Dental Group in Cleveland, Ohio, we specialize in high-quality dental implants that offer a stable, comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Led by Dr. Benedict Kim, our team is here to help restore your smile’s function and appearance.
Your dentures might not feel as snug as they once did. Poor stability is a common but annoying occurrence among people with dentures. They can lose their fit for several reasons, including age.
As you age, your jawbone can shrink, causing your dentures to loosen and become uncomfortable. This can make it difficult to chew, speak clearly, and may even irritate your gums. Dental implants provide a stable foundation to help prevent these issues.
Dental implants function like natural tooth roots. Your dentist surgically places a titanium implant into your jawbone, where it fuses over time with your bone. This creates a secure base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are a permanent solution that also help preserve your jawbone’s structure.
If you're struggling with loose dentures, dental implants could be the right choice for you. Consider implants if:
Loose dentures can make it hard to enjoy a variety of foods, especially those that are hard or chewy.
Soreness in your gums due to dentures can be a sign that it's time for a more reliable solution.
Loose dentures can cause discomfort while talking or smiling. Implants can restore your smile and confidence.
If you find yourself using adhesives or making frequent adjustments, implants offer a stable alternative.
Implants take more time to fit than traditional dentures, but the results are worth the extra steps. Here’s a breakdown of the denture implant process:
During your consultation, Dr. Kim evaluates your oral health, takes X-rays, and discusses the best implant options for you.
During a surgical procedure, Dr. Kim places the implant into your jawbone. Local anesthesia ensures you're comfortable throughout the process.
After placement, the implant will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This typically takes several months but is crucial for ensuring a stable foundation.
Once your implant has fused with your bone, a custom crown, bridge, or denture attaches to the implant. Dr. Kim ensures your new teeth fit comfortably and naturally.
To extend the life of your implants, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental checkups.
If you're tired of struggling with loose dentures, dental implants offer a long-lasting, reliable solution. At A Caring Dental Group, Dr. Kim and our team are committed to helping you regain comfort and confidence with a personalized approach to your implant treatment.
