My father is not happy with his denture, Is there
Dentures or colloquially known as Battissi (Hindi) is still considered as the one of the most economical ways of replacing missing teeth butunfortunately,they have loads of disadvantages like shifting/ falling in the patient s mouth, ulcers, uncomfortable in eating and talkingetc. With so many disadvantages, it is not much of a surprise that dental implants are quickly becoming the go-to option when it comes to replacing missing teeth
Implants come with many advantages like:
If you maintain a good oral hygiene, they can last an entire lifetime
Prevents jawbone tissue loss since it mimics the behavior of natural teeth &their roots
Prevents natural teeth from shifting
Implants feel natural in the patients mouth
Implant-supported dentures are an amalgamation of dentures & dental implants.
The treatment starts with an Implantologist surgically attaching four to six implants (titanium screws) into the patient s jawbone. The screws are then given time to integrate with the patients approximately three to six months. This procedure is known as osseointegration. Sometimes bone grafting is done when the patient does not have adequate bone. Once implants are firmly joined a unique set of dentures is attached to them.
These Implant-supported dentures have multiple advantages over traditional dentures unfortunately, not everyone qualifies for dentures supported by implants. Your dentist will verify if the patient can undergo this procedure. Are you wondering if you qualify for these fantastic dental prosthetics-
