Three Reasons to Choose Denture Stabilization
Denture stabilization is a procedure in which a denture implant is placed in the mouth to stabilize a patient’s dentures. Here are three reasons why a person should consider denture stabilization.
Ill-fitting or Loose Dentures
This is perhaps one of the biggest complaints patients have that lead them back to our dentist. Ill-fitting or loose dentures can cause problems to a person’s bite, which then further affects the fit of the dentures.
People with Sensitive Gums
Adhesive is often used to help hold dentures in place. Someone with sensitive gums may experience discomfort or even pain. With denture stabilization, patients experience no discomfort and often forget the implants are in their mouths.
Affordability and Success of Denture Stabilization Implants
Dental implants can be placed within denture stabilization. Mini or full dental implants are available options. Denture stabilization can improve the quality of life for people who are having problems with their removable dentures. Consult with your dentist Orange county and find out if denture stabilization is right for you.
Denture Stabilization Procedure and its Benefits
Our dentists may recommend denture stabilization to patients to reduce discomfort, embarrassment and inconvenience from poorly fitted dentures. For many years, only conventional denture stabilization existed. Nowadays, the introduction of mini-dental implants has decreased costs and expanded options for patients.
Conventional Denture Stabilization
The conventional method requires a certain amount of bone base or bone level to successfully place the implant.
Since many of the patients needing this procedure are elderly, this can mean extensive invasive bone grafting. In addition, for those with compromised medical conditions, our dentist may recommend against this procedure
Mini Dental Implants: An Attractive Alternative
Mini dental implants offer a choice to patients that require less time. The number of implants needed will depend on the number of teeth to be replaced. For this procedure, a titanium screw is inserted into the jaw bone in a minimally-invasive procedure. These screws or posts become integrated into the gums. The dentures snap into the posts, immediately offering stability. Healing time is short.
Denture stabilization improves patient health and comfort levels. With mini dental implants, patients have even less reason for tolerating poorly-fitted dentures.
