One of the most common dental issues people face as they grow older is the loss of teeth. Missing teeth make it difficult to eat, speak, and feel confident in smiling. Though there are traditional dentures available, these can sometimes be cumbersome since they do not always stay in place. It can be especially difficult to keep the lower denture plate in place when chewing. With Implant Dentures in New London CT, this issue can be resolved.
Implant supported dentures allow a person to have implants placed in their jawbone. These surgically placed implants protrude slightly from the gum tissue and allow the denture plate to easily connect. Though it is most common for people to have denture implants placed on their lower jaw, they can be placed on both upper and lower, depending on a person’s needs.
The procedure for implantation can only take place with patients who have healthy bone tissue in their jaws. The titanium implants are placed in the sockets and into the bone so the metal can bond with the bone tissue. Bonding will typically take around three to six months to be finished and then denture plates can be made.
These dentures are removable and should be removed before sleeping and once a day for cleaning. With Implant Dentures in New London CT, a person’s smile can be made complete. Implant dentures offer the convenience of removable dentures with the stability of bridge plates.
To get started on receiving implant dentures, a person will first need to contact the dentist to schedule a consultation appointment. Through a consultation, the dentist can check the bone of the jaw to make sure it is healthy and has enough mass. If the patient is discovered to be a good candidate for these dentures, the surgery will be scheduled for the placement of the implants.
They offer the latest dental procedures, including general, family, and cosmetic dental care services. Allow them to schedule you a consultation appointment to get started on restoring your smile.
