Tooth stability added to dentures with implants from your Clarkston MI dentist

Over the past few decades, the area of tooth replacement has seen some significant changes. The materials and techniques used to create dentures have led to aesthetically pleasing results. Patients not only enjoy natural looking smiles with modern-day dentures, but they also benefit from advanced techniques that consider the neuromuscular structure. One area that dentists have focused on improving is the lower denture.

Tooth replacement for the lower arch requires extra planning and care due to the curvature of the lower arch, as well as its smaller surface. Many patients find upper dentures feel more stable because the appliance is larger, fitting across the top of the mouth. Smaller bottom dentures allow the tongue to move freely, but cover less area and may feel less stable. At Metropolitan Dental Center, we not only offer neuromuscular dentures designed around the jawbone structure, but we also provide implant services to add stability to denture appliances.

For lower dentures, tooth stabilization may come from mini dental implants, which serve as an ideal foundation for lower dentures. In our office near Clarkston, MI, patients can discover their best options for tooth replacement in a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced dentists. We are careful to explain the various details of denture treatment so our patients know what to expect in terms of results with or without dental implants.

The benefit of implant-supported dentures is stability. Stability leads to greater confidence when eating, laughing, speaking, and more. Implants are different than dentures, and make a great adjunct treatment, because they are designed to replace the missing root. Roots are what tether our teeth to the jawbone and hold them firmly in place. Inserted into the jawbone, implant posts become fused to bone tissue, making them situated just like natural roots for ultimate chewing support.

Wearing dentures does not have to mean that you do not smile or laugh as freely as you wish. Denture wearers do not have to give up much-loved foods in order to avoid embarrassing situations such as dentures coming loose. The dentures we design at Metropolitan Dental Center is made to fit your oral structure with great precision. Add to that a few dental implants and your smile should feel incredibly natural.
