Stabilization of Your Denture on Mini-Implants
At Brookside Family Dental of Tampa, we know many Tampa Bay Area residents are tired of their dentures slipping, dealing with messy adhesives, reduced chewing strength, and constant concern about being embarrassed. Their health suffers when they limit drinking to avoid slippage and when they cannot masticate a fully nutritious diet including raw fruits and vegetables.
Fortunately, there is an option Dr. Scott Lampert has found to be very successful for his patients. Your denture can be stabilized with a few mini implants in the arch. If you decide to have 6 to 8 implants in a jaw, you won’t need ‘pink plastic sides’ on your dentures since your denture will emerge from your gum just like your natural teeth. Implant-supported dentures are mostly created for the lower jaw because ordinary dentures are usually less stable there. However, you can get implant-supported dentures in the top as well. This can give you the added benefit of not covering the roof of your mouth, which will allow you to taste and enjoy your food once again.
Denture stabilization with mini implants is an easy procedure and can be done with local anesthetic while you are fully awake. Denture stabilization is also an affordable procedure.
Each mini implant is a small titanium post that is gently inserted into your jawbone by one of our preferred specialists in Oral Surgery or Periodontology. Your denture is then snapped onto or secured into the posts, eliminating the need for adhesives. The fit is so firm and stable that your chewing power is greatly improved, and you no longer need to be concerned about your denture slipping. Comfort and function is achieved!
Denture stabilization on implants is one of the most sought after procedures in dentistry today.
