Traditional dentures can come loose, affect the patient&#8217;s diet, and require messy adhesives to hold in place. Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peeryfamilydentistry.com\/dental-implant.html\">dental implants in Lynchburg<\/a> can resolve these problems for many patients, freeing them from anxiety and preventing bone resorption and other problems.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are Implant-Supported Dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental implants were created to address the problems associated with dentures. But traditional implants have their own considerations. They require large amounts of healthy underlying bone and sometimes and take lengthy recovery periods. Also, replacing each tooth with its own separate implant restoration can be cost prohibitive for many patients.<\/p>\n<p>Implant-secured dentures combine the best of both worlds. A full denture plate requires as few as two implants to support. The patient can remove it for cleaning and other purposes. Implant-supported dentures safeguard the patient&#8217;s underlying bone structure while allowing wearers to enjoy all their favorite foods.<\/p>\n<p>Because implant-supported dentures can never accidentally loosen, they enable the wearer to enjoy a full range of social and recreational activities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-initial\">\n<div class=\"embde-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZeefpJ47L4s?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Am I a Good Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>Only a qualified professional can say for sure. The first step is to make an appointment with an implant dentist. Here&#8217;s what you can expect from the process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An implant dentist in 24501 will perform a comprehensive exam and evaluation. If your jawline can support the implants, then the next step is to schedule implant placement procedure. If not, then he or she will either recommend a bone graft procedure to correct the underlying problem or suggest other approaches.<\/li>\n<li>Receiving implants is a form of dental surgery that usually requires only a few hours. The dentist will use anesthetics and sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the experience.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoying full recovery from this procedure usually takes 2 to 3 months. Once this is complete, you will have a follow-up visit in which the dentist will add a pair of abutments, which are supportive posts crafted from medical-grade titanium. This step usually requires only a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Once the abutments are in place, the dentist will take a series of measurements from which the dental lab will create your dentures. Once they arrive, you&#8217;ll return to the dentist&#8217;s office for a formal fitting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll get the most benefit from your implant-supported dentures by cleaning them daily, rinsing them after each meal, and following any other tips recommended by your dentist. To ensure that the restoration lasts for long term, you should eat a nutritious diet, limit consumption of sugar, starches and alcohol, and avoid tobacco products altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Implant-supported dentures are a great way to put your dental problems in the past and enjoy a better quality of life. Talk to your dentist soon about this and other restoration options. That way, you can face the future with a smile on your face.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. James M.

If you're missing a tooth, you have several options available to you to close the gap. For those that are looking for a fast solution, removable partials can be crafted from acrylic or plastic and slide in to the spot of the missing tooth. A dental bridge is a good option if you have good teeth on either side of the missing tooth, as this appliance can fit over the functional teeth and fill the space with a crown. Lastly, dental implants can be placed at the site of the missing tooth and mounted directly into the jawbone so that it functions and looks exactly like a normal tooth. Discover which option is right for you, set an appointment with us today: 2229 Murrell Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501 (434) 847-5331\",\n  \"thumbnailUrl\": \"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ZeefpJ47L4s\/maxresdefault.jpg\",\n  \"videoQuality\": \"HD\",\n  \"embedUrl\": \"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZeefpJ47L4s\",\n  \"transcript\": \" 00:06 Samuel Woolwine III: To replace a missing tooth, there's a couple of different options 00:08 that you have, the least expensive way to do it, it's something removable, so we have 00:12 removable partials which can be made from metal. 00:14 It can be made from all acrylic or a plastic and it's something that you pop in and out 00:18 of your mouth every day, but it does replace the tooth. 00:21 Next option would be what's called a bridge. 00:23 We do bridges in certain situations where you have a space and you have a tooth in front 00:27 and behind. 00:28 You can drill down on those adjacent teeth and fabricate three crowns that are connected 00:33 together. 00:34 One being fake, they get cemented into the mouth. 00:36 So it is something that never comes in or out. 00:37 We put it in the mouth and it gets cemented in. 00:39 We give you special cleaners to get underneath and clean because you can't floss like normal, 00:42 but it's a good option, especially if you have large fillings or need for a crown coverage 00:47 on the teeth that are adjacent to the space. 00:49 The best option we have right now for replacing a single tooth is an implant. 00:52 An implant is a titanium body that goes into the jawbone and we can place a tooth on top 00:58 of that implant. \"\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who wears dentures is familiar with their limitations.
