\"\"<\/a>For many years, dentures have been a popular method of replacing missing teeth, and even though newer treatments, such as dental implants have grown in popularity, dentures still remain hugely popular.<\/p>\n

However, one drawback of dentures when compared to dental implants is in the way they fit into the patient\u2019s mouth. While dental implants are inserted directly into the patient\u2019s jaw bone, and so do not become loose; the pressure exerted on the gum tissues by dentures can often lead to the gum tissue becoming more pliable, while the jaw bone can shrink and erode.<\/p>\n

When this occurs, dentures lose their once-snug fit, and begin to feel loose in the mouth; even in cases where denture adhesives are used. As a result, this can affect a person\u2019s confidence in social situations, where they may feel afraid of their dentures slipping whilst eating or talking to others, or worse still, falling out completely.<\/p>\n

Although dentures can often be adjusted in order to provide a better fit once they have become loose in the first place, any adjustment made is only a temporary solution, and dentures will once again begin to feel loose after a time. Dental implants, however, negate that issue by being placed directly into the patient\u2019s jaw bone, which helps keep gum tissue and bone loss to a minimum.<\/p>\n

For patients looking for a permanent solution to loose dentures, an innovative procedure known as All-on-4 implants can be used to secure a denture in as little as a day.<\/p>\n

Also known as \u2018Same day teeth\u2019 and \u2018Teeth to Stay \u2013 All in 1 Day\u2019, All-on-4 dental implants allow an implant dentist to mount a full set of prosthetic teeth onto just 4 dental implants which have been strategically placed in the patient\u2019s mouth. The dental implants provide strength and support to the replacement teeth while helping preserve gum tissue and jaw bone mass.<\/p>\n

As a permanent solution to dentures, as well as to avoid dentures\u2019 potential for embarrassment, All-on-4 dental implants are an ideal alternative; offering strength and support for oral functions such as biting and chewing, and even speech \u2013 all of which can be compromised by ill-fitting dentures.<\/p>\n
