The advantages of dental implants have been touted by dental professionals for years. An artificial tooth that is almost an exact replica of a natural tooth has excited the dental industry. Implant dentists have taken great pleasure in providing patients with teeth that are so predictable, so durable, and also natural looking. [pullquote]Patients who have turned to dental implants are finding that the denture can immediately and permanently be stabilized.[/pullquote]

Outside of the clinical setting, what are patients saying about dental implants? How have dental implants impacted their lives once they leave the dental office? If asked, these patients would say that dental implants are the only reasonable substitute for their natural teeth.

Patients who had struggled for years with ill-fitting dentures may have the most compelling reasons to celebrate dental implants. Imagine living with a set of false teeth that must be glued to your gums with denture paste or adhesives. Over time, even the strongest adhesive fails to stabilize dentures when the underlying bone is shrinking due to bone loss. Chewing and speaking become an embarrassing challenge. For many patients, this inconvenience and discomfort quickly becomes intolerable.

Patients who have turned to dental implants are finding that the denture can immediately and permanently be stabilized. Denture adhesives and glues are no longer a necessity, as the denture is firmly anchored to the underlying jaw bone. The fusion between the dental implant and the jaw bone prevents bone loss, preserving a firm and stable foundation for your denture.

Clinically, your implant dentist appreciates the fact that you will never need to use denture adhesives again. It’s proof that your denture is well-made and functioning properly. As a patient, you may appreciate it for a different reason. Realizing that you will no longer have to glue your teeth to your gums is a liberating feeling. Your dental implants will allow you to relax and feel comfortable with your smile without the fear of embarrassment or insecurity.
