Dental Implants have revolutionised dentistry, offering life changing benefits of comfort, security and function to denture wearers.
For some people life can be totally miserable as a result of loosing teeth and having to wear dentures. To contemplate the rest of your life with such a wretched problem seems such a pity. There is a proven, reliable and straightforward solution. The oldest person I have heard of having dental implants was a sprightly 97 years old, so you are never too old! You can look forward to life with the misery of dentures.
It is important that implants are embedded in jaw bone. For many full denture wearers the most simple and appropriate treatment is the making of very well made dentures. If this still leaves you with problems which cannot be solved in this way, then placement of two implants into the lower jaw will stabilise and hold the lower denture firmly. For a few people more implants can allow you to have fixed teeth and get rid of dentures completely. This is really where the lack of bone becomes a bigger problem as most people with full dentures would have enough bone to stabilise a lower denture. Implant dentists have a number of techniques available to deal with a lack of jaw bone.
Dentures rest on the gums. As you know gums are very sensitive and this is why dentures can be uncomfortable when you bite firmly. With dental implants the biting forces do not have to go onto your gums – instead the forces are transferred to the underlying bone, therefore no pain in the gums.
