Replace Your Missing Teeth with Permanent Implant Dentures
Did you know that a missing tooth can impact the health of your remaining teeth, gums, or jaw muscles? Yet rarely do people talk about their missing teeth. Fortunately, Dr. Karen Ho of Dentistry on Parkdale can help patients in Hamilton, Ontario, and the surrounding areas to replace their lost teeth. When you have lost all or most of your teeth, we use permanent implant dentures to restore the function and beauty of your smile.
What are permanent implant dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on top of your gums, permanent implants are held or attached to your jawbone permanently by dental implants. Additionally, these dentures allow you to clean them the same way you do with your natural teeth.
The journey begins with a visit to Dentistry on Parkdale, where Dr. Karen assesses whether you are fit for the implants. If you have a healthy bone, we refer you to an oral surgeon for implant surgery. Here, your doctor opens your gums to access the bone and places the implants deep inside the bone. You need three to six months to allow the bone and the implants to fuse, allowing the implants to be strong enough to support your denture restoration.
Once the healing is complete, we will take a mould of your arch and send it to the lab to make a complete set of dentures. Once created, we will place them in your mouth and instantly improve your mouth’s appearance. Unlike conventional dentures, implant-supported dentures are more stable when eating or talking.
Benefits of implant-supported dentures
Permanent implant dentures are tremendously beneficial, especially to older adults. One of the key benefits is that they offer a long-term solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implant dentures:
- Look and feel like natural teeth.
- Prevent bone loss to some extent.
- Don’t slip or click when talking or eating.
- Restore your oral health, appearance, and function.
- Maintain your youthful look.
- Easy to maintain.
