No one wants to live with missing teeth. For hundreds of years, people have sought restorations for their smile after tooth loss. In the past, bridges and dentures were the most common solution. Today, many people are still under the impression that they must pick one of those two options for missing teeth. In reality, there is a much quicker (and better) solution. With Teeth in a Day implants, patients can restore missing teeth in just a day!
Dentures are inherently designed to fit snugly up against the gums and remain in place through natural suction. Precise and detailed measurements are taken to create a model to fabricate the final dentures.
While this all sounds like the foundation for a solid solution, the problem is that the arches of the jaw, the lower one in particular, are difficult to fit. This can result in an ill-fitting appliance that may be uncomfortable or slip out of place.
The second problem is with the structure of the jawbone. When a tooth is missing, the missing tooth roots cause a change in the jawbone. It can begin to degenerate and change shape. Because dentures sit on top of the gums, they do not account for this shift in structure, thus requiring periodic adjustment. Without adjustment, dentures will not fit properly.
Dental implants are designed to replace the root of the tooth. They are implanted into the jawbone and fuse together with it to provide strength and stability for a restoration. The Teeth in a Day dental implant solution uses four strategically placed implants on the arch. These implants are then topped with a denture appliance to provide a quick, comfortable, stable, and long-lasting solution.
Implants also help promote bone retention and can help prevent bone degeneration or loss, which is a common side effect of missing teeth.
You do not have to settle for ill-fitting dentures. With dental implants, you can have the security of a restoration that looks, feels, and functions as closely as possible to natural teeth.
