Los Angeles, CA, Feb. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles
dental implants expert, Dr. Kevin Sands DDS, explains the
advantages that implants offer compared to dentures in order to
improve understanding among area patients. Some patients dislike
certain features of traditional dentures, such as their tendency to
slip during meals or conversation. In the long term, denture
wearers may experience jaw bone deterioration because they lack
tooth roots. Various oral health problems are also more likely to
strike when tooth roots are missing, which remains an issue with
traditional dentures.
Dental
implants avoid some of the major issues associated with
dentures. For example, their ability to replace the roots of teeth
means that the jaw bone receives stimulation and retains its normal
size and density. Because dental implants are firmly anchored,
using them to stabilize dentures ensures that no slippage can
occur. Dental implants also lack any hardware above the gum line,
reducing risks of bacterial accumulation, tooth decay and
periodontal disease. Understanding these differences can help
patients make informed decisions as they choose between dental
implants and dentures.
As more patients recognize the benefits of dental implants, more
are asking about this option after they lose teeth. By getting
dental implants immediately after losing teeth rather than waiting
months or years, patients are less likely to suffer jaw
deterioration, which can result in facial disfigurement.
Improvements in dental implant design and the availability of
mini dental implants have also increased popularity of dental
implants compared to dentures. In addition, reduced treatment time
and lack of necessity for bone grafting help make mini implants
more appealing to patients.
Cost of dental implants is easily justifiable with the benefits
patients can achieve with dental implant placement.
