For thousands of years, dentures have been allowing people to chew foods harder than mashed bananas and flash some teeth when they smile. However, Marble Falls denture wearers know how unstable, irritating, embarrassing, and inconvenient they can be.
Now denture wearers have a better option. A tooth implant provides the total package, so to speak. An implant replaces the visible part of the tooth and—this is key—also the root.
This is how implant placement works: A super-strong titanium post is anchored directly into the jawbone. An abutment is then attached to the post. Finally, a crown or denture is attached to the abutment. Tooth implants provide the following benefits:
Stability – Implants don’t move around in your mouth. This permits normal chewing, swallowing, and speech.
Bone Retention – The post maintains bone health and circulation
Dental implants prevent jaw muscle dysfunction that can occur when remaining teeth are forced to compensate for missing teeth
Dental implants prevent gum irritation
No need for denture relines
No denture adhesive needed (Remember, they are anchored in your jawbone just like natural teeth!)
Dental implant patients with one or two missing teeth can replace each missing tooth with a permanent implant. Dental patients with significant tooth loss are usually best served with an implant-anchored denture.
