Are Dentures The Only Answer For Extensive Tooth Loss?

For anyone who has lost some or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures from The Reno Dentist may sound like a dream come true: dentures that are attached to the jaw, and surpass traditional dentures in appearance and functionality.

You know what they say: if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But set aside any skepticism. Implant-supported dentures are already worn successfully by hundreds of thousands of people.

As you may know, a dental implant is a titanium post that is placed in the jaw, where it fuses with the bone. A single post can support a single artificial tooth. Multiple posts, strategically placed, can support a set of dentures.

In most cases, implant-supported dentures are made for the patient’s lower jaw. That’s because the uppers are more stable and don’t need the extra support that implants provide. But implant-supported dentures can be made for the upper and lower.

Implant-supported dentures have a number of advantages over traditional dentures:

• More stable. Because they are attached to titanium posts that have fused with the jaw, people have much greater biting and chewing power.
• Natural in appearance. They look more like natural teeth, and are easier to care for.
• Built to last. Because they are physically attached to the jaw, implants are long-lasting.
• Prevents bone recession. With traditional dentures, the bone around missing tooth roots begin to deteriorate. The titanium posts replace some of the tooth roots, so the bone is preserved.

Implant-supported dentures can transform your life, and they are among the procedures available at The Reno Dentist. Patients from Spanish Springs, Virginia City, and Carson City come to us for implants, for general and family dentistry, and much more. Call our office to schedule an appointment today.
