That’s why it’s important to resolve tooth loss issues quickly. How you replace missing teeth, however, is important. Ill-fitting dentures, for example, can cause more problems than they fix! At Park Avenue Dental, serving residents in New York, New York, Dr. Mary Taudel recommends you get dental implants to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics.
Conventional dentures fall short compared to implant-supported dentures in terms of functionality, comfort, and aesthetics. Traditional dentures rely on suction and adhesives to stay in place, which can cause them to slip and come loose while talking, laughing, or chewing. They are also uncomfortable to wear due to not fitting correctly in your mouth. These dentures can rub against your gum tissue, causing raw spots or abrasions.
In contrast, implant-supported dentures are comfortable, stable, and safe and can restore your smile beautifully. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to your jaw by implant screws that Dr. Taudel inserts into your jawbone surgically. These screws fuse with your bone system to function like tooth roots. As your replacement teeth are firmly attached to the implant, they won’t slip, shift, or come loose when in use.
