Having dentures that move around when you eat or speak makes daily life difficult and even embarrassing. If you have even been close to someone who wears dentures, you have probably heard them complain about them. They come loose, fall out, and shift while talking and chewing.
Ill-fitting dentures can also cause denture sores, tender gums, and limit the foods you are willing to eat, especially in public.
Anyone who has had to wear dentures knows that finding someone to create dentures that fit well, look natural, and stay put can pose a challenge. At Scott Jordan DDS, we offer implant-supported dentistry to provide patients with added confidence when it comes to their dentures.
When you lose teeth, your bone may begin to deteriorate. Since your denture latches on to this bony ridge, over time, you may find it more and more difficult to find dentures that fit well. With loss of your jawbone, your facial appearance can develop a sunken look that ages you. Your jawbone, teeth, and gums provide the shape for your face.
One option to slow bone loss and to secure prosthetics such as dentures are dental implants. Using several implants, we can create an anchor for your denture and give you the added benefits that dentures provide.
Bone preservation – Dental implants act much like your natural teeth because implants replace your tooth roots and can slow down or prevent bone loss.
Secure your dentistry – Dentures, bridges, and partial dentures can be “locked in” by snapping onto your dental implants. This allows you to replace multiple teeth securely.
Confidence – When your dentures, bridges, or partial dentures lock in, you can speak, chew, and laugh without worrying about embarrassing shifting of your dentistry.
At Scott Jordan, DDS, we strive to give you aesthetic, comfortable, dentistry that allows you to enjoy a wide variety of foods to stay healthy. For more information about how we can improve the function and appearance of your current dentistry, contact us today to schedule an exam.
