Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles dental implant expert, Dr. Kevin Sands DDS, is recommending dental implants as alternatives to dentures for many patients. Although dentures remain a popular solution to missing teeth, patients who receive dentures often report discomfort and slippage and have a higher risk of oral health problems. Inconvenience associated with maintaining dentures also contributes to dissatisfaction among patients using dentures. Dental implants offer permanent replacement of missing teeth when used with either dental crowns or partial dentures, and they avoid many of the problems posed by dentures.
Dentures let patients chew and speak more easily than they would
with missing teeth, but they can also cause problems for wearers.
Patients often have trouble speaking and chewing with dentures due
to slippage, causing many patients to withdraw from social
interaction and forcing them to avoid certain foods. Because
dentures may move, they are prone to breakage that can be costly to
repair. Dentures also require daily maintenance, including
time-intensive soaking and scrubbing, and can complicate at-home
dental hygiene. These problems cause many patients to avoid
dentures or seek an alternative after beginning to wear them. Visit

Dental implants sidestep several issues associated with dentures.
Because dental implants are anchored in the jaw bone, they prevent
slippage whether patients choose to fit them with permanent crowns
or dentures. Dental hygiene is easy because no mounting hardware is
present to harbor food particles and bacteria. Dental implants look
and function like natural teeth, letting patients eat and speak
normally. Patients can opt for
multiple teeth dental implants or
full mouth dental implants, making dental implants a viable
alternative to partial or full dentures.
