A replacement for the upper or lower jaw, dentures can be full or partial. A full denture replaces a complete set of missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while a partial fits in with healthy natural teeth like a missing puzzle piece. A partial denture is a removable alternative to a fixed dental bridge. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional dentures rest on top of the gums, which may lead to slippage, discomfort, or oral sores. By anchoring the new teeth into the jaw, dental implants provide more stability for your denture. Patients who are eligible for dental implants should strongly consider an implant retained option. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are the Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants offer a comprehensive tooth replacement, which rebuilds your tooth structure from the root up. With a prosthetic root, the jawbone receives the blood flow and nutrients it needs to stay healthy and whole &#8212; a crucial feature following significant tooth loss. The benefits of this comprehensive tooth replacement include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A replacement that mimics the natural tooth structure <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No need for denture adhesives<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No slippage or discomfort<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removable for thorough cleaning <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No risk of oral sores <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A beautiful, natural-looking set of teeth<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is the Process for Dental Implants?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we can begin with dental implants, we must confirm that you are eligible for the procedure. Patients should be in solid oral and overall health, strong enough to recover from the initial surgery. After we have evaluated your health history and the state of your jawbone, we begin putting together your treatment plan by taking X-rays and impressions of your teeth. A CT scan may be used to get a more in-depth image of your smile. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An implant-retained denture can be supported on as few as four dental implants. Dr. Koo will strategically place each dental implant according to the treatment plan. After surgery, healing begins. The recovery, during which the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/dentalimplants.uchc.edu\/about\/surgery_osseointegration.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jawbone fuses with the titanium dental implants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, usually takes place over the course of three to six months. A temporary tooth replacement can be worn during this time. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the dental implants have healed together with your jaw, you return to our office to begin the final restoration, or when the denture is affixed to abutments and caps on top of the dental implants. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request a Consultation Today! <\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need an effective replacement for significant tooth loss, please do not hesitate to find out whether or not dental implants are an option for you.
