Before the Implant Dentistry

Problems with Dentures Include:

The fact that patients are not used to having something in their mouth that is not food. The brain senses this appliance as "food" and sends messages to the salivary glands to produce more saliva and to secrete it at a higher rate.

New dentures will also be the inevitable cause of sore spots as they rub and press.
A few denture adjustments for the weeks following insertion of the dentures can take care of this issue.
Gagging is another problem encountered by some patients. At times, this may be due to a denture that is too loose fitting, too thick or not extended far enough posterior onto the soft palate. At times, gagging may also be attributed to psychological denial of the denture.
Sometimes there could be a gingivitis under the full dentures, which is cause be accumulation of dental plaque.
Another problem with dentures is keeping them in place. There are three rules governing the existence of removable oral appliances: support, stability and retention.

After the Implant Dentistry

Benefits of Overdentures includes:

There are many benefits through having a removable denture replaced with an implant supported over denture;

Maintains integrity of facial structures by preserving the remaining bone.
Restores lost lip support and minimizes wrinkles around the mouth.
Option of leaving the roof of the mouth uncovered.
Increased stability restores natural chewing capacity and improves digestion.
Eliminates pain of ill-fitting dentures and need for adhesives.
Restores natural chewing capacity.







Implants are successfully used to replace an entire upper or lower jaw which has no teeth at all.

Implants are a very effective means of stabilizing full lower dentures, especially with patients who have no lower gums.

Dental implants feel and look natural causing you to forget that you even have dentures. Candidates for dental implants must be in good general and oral health.

To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy.
