A well-made denture can be a lifesaver! A full smile, comfortable chewing, and clear speech are necessary components to your daily life. But, what are your options when your denture no longer fits? What would life be if you were forced to glue your teeth in each morning with denture glue? Then, at the end of your day, what’s the procedure for cleaning the sticky adhesive from the inside of the denture and from your gums?
With the addition of just a few dental implants, you can say goodbye to these questions and other dilemmas forever. In just one day, you can opt for a procedure in which your denture is anchored far below the gum line for optimal security and strength. This permanent solution for the completely edentulous patient is a shining example of the versatility of implant dentistry.

Not only is it possible to obtain a complete set of new teeth in one dental visit, but your new smile will be more comfortable and more dependable day in and day out. Even without the need for bone grafting, most patients are finding that an implant-supported smile is ideal. The characteristics that make dental implants so effective for replacing individually missing teeth are the same characteristics that can radically transform the function of your dentures.
Without the stimulation of the tooth roots, the jaw bone will undergo a natural process of erosion, in which the volume and density of the bone is dramatically reduced. This is the main reason for the change in the fit and performance of your traditional denture. After years of tooth loss, the shape and contour of the bone changes and the gum tissue loses its tone. Suddenly, a denture that once fit well doesn’t seem to work at all without the help of denture paste.
Dental implants can provide a level of stimulation similar to that of the tooth roots and prevent the onset of bone erosion. In this permanent and unchanging environment, you will no longer need to depend on denture glue for security.
