Dentures

CHICAGO DENTURE SERVICES

Dentures are another alternative to tooth replacement. In many instances, dental implants can be used in conjunction with dentures. While full and partial dentures may have come a long way since their early years, they can still be a hassle resulting in slipping, inconvenience and discomfort. Many denture wearers are looking for a better solution, and Dental Implants may be the answer for you.

Dental Implants can be an ideal solution for people with dentures, providing replacement teeth that are as close to your natural teeth as possible, regardless of whether you’re missing one tooth or an entire set of teeth. The Dental Implants are anchored into the jawbone like natural teeth; making your replacement teeth so strong that slippage becomes a thing of the past. With your new Dental Implants, you’ll be able to eat whatever you like more comfortably and speak with confidence.

It is common for Dental Implant patients to experience a greater quality of life. They feel more comfortable and secure with their Dental Implants than they did with removable dentures. There are all sorts of problems that can plague denture wearers. Dentures can slip and click, causing embarrassment in social settings. They can restrict your diet and make you look older than you are. Art of Modern Dentistry uses Valplast, a lightweight, flexible, and virtually unbreakable denture that almost disappears inside the mouth.

Dental Implants allow for a happier, more active lifestyle. They allow you eat the foods you want to eat and allow you to speak clearly and with more confidence.

Alternatives to Immediate Dentures

- Periodontal therapy
- Root canal therapy
- Bridges
- Partial dentures
- Overdentures
- Implants
- Delaying treatment

Periodontal therapy may be an alternative if there’s still enough healthy bone tissue surrounding your teeth. Root planing or gum surgery might allow you to keep your teeth.

Infections into the nerves of teeth can be treated with root canal therapy. A crown could then strengthen and protect the tooth.

Bridges, or partial dentures, could then be used to fill in the spaces.
An overdenture might also be an alternative. These look the same as a regular denture, but they’re placed over specially prepared teeth.

Implants are another possibility. An implant is a small metal cylinder that is placed into the bone of your jaw. It replaces the root of a missing tooth.

Another alternative is to delay treatment, but infected teeth and gums never heal on their own. They just keep getting worse. If you’re not in a lot of pain, you might decide to leave your teeth as they are, at least for now. But that could be risky; infections of the teeth and gums can weaken your body’s immune system, and that could affect your overall health.

Alternatives to Overdentures

- Immediate dentures
- Implants
- Partial dentures
- Delaying treatment

Removing all of your teeth and making an immediate denture is an alternative to an overdenture.

Implants are another alternative. An implant is a small metal cylinder that’s surgically inserted into the bone of the jaw to replace the roots of missing teeth. Implants would make your new denture much more stable; they also slow the bone loss that occurs after teeth are removed.

Your dentist can also use your remaining teeth to anchor a partial denture.
You can also delay treatment, but be aware that infected teeth and gums never heal on their own. They just keep getting worse. If you’re not in a lot of pain, you might decide to leave your teeth as they are, at least for now. But infections of the teeth and gums can weaken your body’s immune system, which can affect your overall health.

Whenever teeth are removed, the bone in your jaw begins to recede. If we leave some of the roots of the teeth in place, and place an overdenture, we can slow bone loss significantly and give you a more stable denture.

Alternatives to Partial Dentures

- Bridges
- Implants
- Dentures
- Delaying treatment

In some cases, bridges are an alternative to partial dentures.
Sometimes, when we don’t have enough teeth to place a bridge, we can solve the problem by placing an implant. A dental implant is a small titanium cylinder that’s surgically inserted into the bone of the jaw to replace the root of a missing tooth.

Removing the rest of your teeth and making a denture is another alternative.

You can also delay treatment, but be aware that infected teeth and gums never heal on their own. They just keep getting worse. If you’re not in a lot of pain, you might decide to leave your teeth as they are, at least for now. But that could be risky; infections of the teeth and gums can weaken your body’s immune system and that could affect your overall health.

Sometimes, when you’re missing teeth, a partial denture is the best alternative to fill in spaces and keep you chewing comfortably and effectively.
