Implant Dentures: Secure Your Smile With Mini Dental Implants

If you’re currently exploring options for tooth replacement, you might have already considered traditional dentures. They’re viewed as a classic choice—they do the job and are generally accessible. But, conventional dentures often miss the mark when it comes to long-term comfort and stability. Choosing traditional dentures is like settling for shoes that coordinate with your outfit but don’t quite fit right. You can walk in those shoes but wouldn’t necessarily want to run a marathon. Unlike traditional options, implant dentures are ideal for individuals seeking a more dependable, durable solution for tooth loss. With implant dentures, you can say goodbye to the days of “just getting by” and hello to a future where speaking, eating, and smiling confidently is the norm!

How Implant Dentures Work

Unlike traditional options, implant dentures are securely attached to the jawbone with dental implants. This connection provides a stable and strong foundation for dentures, eliminating many common issues associated with traditional dentures, such as slippage and discomfort. At Best Care Dental, we offer different types of implant dentures that vary in removability and materials:

• Removable implant dentures: Otherwise known as overdentures, these are easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. They snap onto the implants and provide a more secure fit than traditional dentures while still offering the convenience of removal. They look similar to traditional dentures but use less gum material.
• Non-removable dentures: Also known as fixed or implant-supported dentures, these are permanently cemented to the implants. They offer the highest level of stability and are closest in feel and function to natural teeth. Permanent implant dentures also use high-quality materials that look remarkably natural!
• Semi-removable dentures: A middle ground between the two, semi-removable dentures look similar to permanent dentures but can be removed by Dr. Bashi at your routine cleanings. They provide a balance of stability and ease of maintenance.

Patients may have different needs and preferences when it comes to dentures. While some may prioritize the stability and natural feel of non-removable dentures, others might value the ease of cleaning offered by removable options. Understanding the different types of implant dentures allows patients to choose a solution that best fits their lifestyle and dental needs.

Understanding Mini Dental Implants

Best Care Dental is a Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Colorado Springs. That means at the heart of our implant dentures are mini dental implants, a key component that sets them apart from traditional options. Mini dental implants are small, screw-like posts made from titanium, a biocompatible material. Inserted into the jawbone, the implants become substitute tooth roots that support a dental prosthetic.

Traditional implants are double the width of mini implants. As a result, they need substantial space in the jawbone and sufficient bone density. Because of their large size, they require a more invasive placement procedure. On the other hand, mini dental implants are smaller in diameter, allowing Dr. Bashi to place them using a minimally invasive technique. This feature also makes mini implants ideal for patients with limited jawbone density, a common issue resulting from tooth loss.

Thanks to the less invasive procedure, healing time is significantly shorter when you opt for mini implant supported dentures. Most patients can return to their normal activities in just a day or two.

Implant Dentures Improve Your Quality of Life

Adapting to traditional dentures isn’t just about learning to chew or speak differently; for many, it can be a whole lifestyle shift. Imagine planning your meals around what your dentures can handle or removing your teeth frequently to clear away trapped food particles. Then there’s the adhesive. Every morning, applying it feels like a little reminder that your smile isn’t quite yours anymore. It’s these daily realities that remind you of the gap between dentures and natural teeth.

Implant dentures effectively address these issues and preserve your long-term oral health. By replacing the missing tooth roots, they stimulate the jawbone when you bite and chew, keeping it healthy. Additionally, the added stability that implants offer improves your ability to chew, which allows you to enjoy a wider range of foods and maintain a balanced diet. From an aesthetic standpoint, implant dentures closely resemble natural teeth, enhancing your smile and contributing to improved self-confidence.
