When you have lost most or all of your natural teeth, then this could complicate how we eat, speak, and even erode our youthful facial features. But we can secure a set of dentures supported with dental implants, which can offer a full smile again. In today’s blog, your Shrewsbury, MA, dentist looks at our hybrid dentures.
The Impact of Edentulism
When you lose most or all of your teeth, this could lead to major problems with your oral health. For example, you could have trouble eating non-soft foods, which can deprive you of your favorite meals or essential nutrients. You could have difficulty speaking clearly too. Poel missing most or all of their teeth could also feel embarrassed in social situations, and this could cause harm to their overall quality of life. But the body will respond by suspending the flow of essential nutrients to the jaw, which causes it to break down over time. This breakdown is linked to further tooth loss and an older appearance! But we can help preserve and rebuild your smile with our hybrid dentures.
Placing Dental Implants
While traditional ones are supported with suction or an adhesive, we can support a full set of dentures with multiple dental implants. Our team will examine your smile with advanced imaging technology and digital x-rays to choose the best position to insert the dental implant post into your smile, so they can stimulate the growth of jawbone structure and support a new set of teeth. If you have weakened structure, we could fortify it with grating or a sinus lift. When we place the implant posts, we may be able to move forward with attaching the prosthetic in the same visit.
Connecting a Set of Dentures
The prosthetics portion is a new set of teeth that are custom-made for your smile to ensure a lifelike appearance and a comfortable fit. We will attach these to the dental implants, so you have a set of dentures that never skip when you eat or drink, and that can preserve your jawbone to keep your smile intact. If you have missing teeth and want to ensure a full smile again, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you start your journey to a full smile now, so you can greet 2025 with a complete smile that looks and functions like a natural one.
