Dealing with missing teeth or damaged teeth and want to replace them with an aesthetically pleasing and functional new smile? It can be stressful to enjoy the simple things in life, such as smiling and eating, when people’s teeth are missing or damaged. Luckily, traditional dentures and full mouth dental implants in Boston, MA can give people a new smile, but the differences in these tooth replacement options are vastly different.
Here are the advantages of full mouth dental implants vs traditional dentures so patients can determine which one they want to restore their smile with.
What Are The Advantages Of Traditional Dentures?
While traditional dentures do give patients a new smile that is affordable, they only sit on the patients jawbones without any support. Because traditional dentures only sit on the patient’s jawbone, they only return 20% of the patient’s dental functionality. As the jawbone loses volume because it is no longer being stimulated by tooth roots, the patient goes through jawbone loss.
Without enough jawbone volume to support the traditional dentures, they will become loose in the patient’s jawbone, giving patients an unstable smile that slips and falls out. When patients get treated with traditional dentures, they will not be able to have a normal diet, will have a bulky looking smile, and their new smile will be unstable and uncomfortable.
What Are The Advantages Of Full Mouth Dental Implants In Boston, MA?
An aesthetically pleasing, long-term solution and secure option to fix a full arch of damaged or missing teeth are full mouth dental implants. In a full mouth dental implant procedure, four or more dental implant posts are placed in the patient’s jawbone. The dental implant posts are designed to function like natural teeth, stimulating the jawbone so that it is healthy and strong.
As they fuse with the patient’s jawbone, the dental implant posts become a permanent part of their jawbone, giving them a sturdy new smile. Once the dental implant posts and abutments are securely in place, a temporary prosthesis is placed so patients can have a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile the same day as their surgery. The final prosthesis can be placed and cemented once the jawbone has healed.
With full mouth dental implants, patients will be able have a normal diet, a natural looking new smile, and they will be able to speak without having to worry about their prosthesis slipping or falling out.
Why You Should Choose Full Mouth Dental Implants Over Traditional Dentures?
While affordable traditional dentures give people with missing teeth an efficient new smile, it is not a reliable or long-lasting tooth replacement option. With full mouth dental implants in Boston, MA, patients get natural looking and aesthetically pleasing new teeth that restores their jawbone health.
