For people who are sick of the slippage and instability of traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures in Clayton, NC, anchored to precisely placed dental implants in your jawbone, stay put when you eat, talk, and laugh, with the strength and feel of natural teeth.
Why Dentures Loosen Over Time
Traditional dentures rest on the gums, relying on suction for stability. And without tooth roots to stimulate the jawbone underneath, the bone gradually shrinks. As it changes shape, the fit loosens. This can cause slipping and sore spots, dietary restrictions, and require an adhesive to function day-to-day.
How Implants Make the Difference
Dental implants solve the problem at its source by replacing the missing tooth root. This way a denture doesn’t have to rely on suction to stay in place. At Clayton Smiles, Dr. Kate Dolin works with top local oral surgeons to place the implants, and she then restores them with a custom denture.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures can become part of a full mouth reconstruction plan that restores confidence when biting, chewing, speaking, and smiling.
There are certain healthy criteria that must be met before getting implants. The only reliable way to find out whether they’re an appropriate solution for you is a professional consultation and exam.
