Dentures Work Better with Dental Implants

Dentures are a necessity for many people who have lost teeth. Losing teeth can be a devastating occurrence. Considering the importance of teeth both practically and aesthetically, most people want to have the best look possible. The major downside of dentures is they can be difficult to hold in place to provide good function. There is also the risk of embarrassment should one’s dentures slip while speaking or eating or some other social activity. The best way to secure dentures in place and avoid these pitfalls is to attach the denture to dental implants.

Dental implants work by being directly inserted onto the gums, where they fuse with the jaw bone. The secured nature of implants make them the ideal foundation for dentures. The appliance is completely stable when it is attached to the implants. Eating and speaking are a breeze.

Another thing that traditional denture wearers love about dental implants is they negate the need for using adhesives and pastes for holding (sometimes) the denture in place. People with dentures without implants have long dreaded the problem of dealing with paste. But because it has been needed to act as a glue between the gums and the denture plates themselves, the products have been indispensable.

Another disadvantage of paste as a denture adhesive method is the matter of comfort. More often than not, one cannot help but feel the paste on the roof of their mouth, especially while adjusting to having dentures. This feeling can place a serious damper on confidence when it comes to holding conversations in social settings. Denture adhesive strips, which come in the form of thin pads, are like double-sided tape that stick to both the gum and the denture. While they are less messy than the pastes, they can be felt when being worn so the issue of overall comfort remains.

And the fact remains that neither of these adhesive options work that well. They have just been the best that could be offered in the past. Today that has all changed with the advent of dental implants. Now there is a permanent and simple way to stabilize dentures and maximize their performance.
