Denture Stabilization

Slipping, loose, or uncomfortable dentures can make life difficult. Don’t let your quality of life slip, as well!

Some patients have difficulty adjusting to complete dentures. The upper plate of a denture must extend to just behind the hard bone in the roof of the mouth. This may cause gagging or difficulty speaking. The lower denture sits on the existing ridge bone, which will continue to reabsorb the longer the teeth are missing. Multiple adjustments are required in most cases. Without teeth roots to stimulate the tissue, jawbone deteriorates over time. Eventually, a patient may not be able to wear a lower denture. Then, in addition to functional problems, appearance suffers. Teeth provide support for cheeks and lips. Without teeth, the face caves inward and looks aged.

If you’re ready to reclaim quality of life and your winning smile, ask about implant-retained dentures.

Implants for the upper plate of a denture acts as an anchor to maximize retention and stability. Because the denture secures to implant posts, there is no need for the extended plate to provide suction on the pallet. And because implants stimulate the jawbone, the bone will not deteriorate and lose its natural shape.

Patients with implant-retained dentures report as greater degree of satisfaction and a higher level of function. Some say they almost forget that they’re wearing dentures.
