What are Dental Implants?

In 1982, Per-Ingvar Branemark, a Swedish orthopedist, introduced a titanium dental implant which would fuse to human bone.  This remarkable discovery has been refined to become the standard of care for replacement of missing teeth. Implant size and length are based on each patient’s bone quality and quantity. Implants are made of titanium and have special coatings that encourage the fusing of human bone. The top of each implant has an internal screw channel so that crowns, bridges, and or dentures can be screwed in place.

    Machine made dentures don’t have the beautiful esthetics that are typical of those made by skilled hands.  Digital dentures have become popular because laboratories can produce dentures in high volume. The best dentures are handmade by an experienced prosthodontist.

  • WILL MY NEW DENTURES BE SECURE?

    Since dentures don’t have any natural teeth to attach to, upper dentures rely on primarily suction to stay in while the lower dentures stay in with a careful balance between the tongue and the facial muscles.  Both upper and lower dentures require an adequate amount of remaining bone and tissue for stability. As most patients have the most difficulty chewing and speaking with lower dentures, two or more dental implants can make a world of difference. Dentures can be made to be retained or supported by dental implants.  These types of dentures can be either removable by the patient or non-removable. The non-removable type can be removed only by the dentist.

  • WILL MY DENTURES LOOK NATURAL?

    Dentures made by a specialist in prosthodontics can be expected to be very natural and lifelike and most people will not be able to tell that you don’t have natural teeth. Well made dentures will replace not only your missing teeth but also the lost gum and bone structure that support your facial features.  This is why dentures can help you regain your natural appearance and give you a more youthful smile.

  • ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DENTURES?

    In addition to conventional dentures which rely on suction and tongue and cheek muscles for retention, implant supported dentures can be made which are patient removable and non- removable designs.  Patient-removable designs still have the pink lip supporting flanges and provide the easiest cleaning.  Non removable denture designs have abbreviated pink flanges to provide for oral hygiene access.  Both types of implant dentures feature improved speech and chewing ability over conventional dentures.

  • HOW LONG DO DENTAL FILLINGS LAST?
