Immediate dentures are a type of dental prosthesis that replace your traditional dentures or missing teeth in a single office visit. These dentures are designed to provide a permanent solution to your missing teeth or loose traditional dentures and only come out twice per year during your routine dental appointments for professional cleaning.
Immediate dentures snap right into mini dental implants to provide a secure lock that prevents moving or shifting. Our same-day dentures offer several benefits, including the ability to chew and speak properly, maintain facial structure, and improve self-confidence.
One major benefit of immediate dentures is that they allow the patient to retain their ability to chew and speak properly. Losing natural teeth can significantly impact a person’s ability to chew and speak, leading to difficulty eating and communicating. Same-day dentures can help to restore these functions, allowing the patient to maintain a healthy diet and participate in social activities without embarrassment or discomfort.
In addition to improving function, immediate dentures can help maintain facial structure. Natural teeth play a crucial role in maintaining the shape and structure of the face. When teeth are lost, the bone that once supported the teeth begins to resorb, causing the facial structure to collapse and leading to a prematurely aged appearance. Immediate dentures help to prevent this collapse by providing support to the surrounding tissues, helping to maintain a more youthful appearance.
Another benefit of immediate dentures is the improvement in self-confidence. Losing natural teeth can be a traumatic experience, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment. Immediate dentures can help to restore a natural-looking smile, improving self-confidence and allowing the patient to feel more comfortable interacting with others.
According to a recent article published in the Journal of Prosthodontics, the use of mini dental implants to retain immediate dentures has significantly improved dentures stability and retention. Mini dental implants are small, titanium screws placed into the jawbone to provide a secure anchor for the dentures. These implants are less invasive than traditional dental implants. They can be placed at the same time as the extraction of natural teeth, making them a suitable option for those not candidates for traditional dental implants.
The use of mini dental implants to retain immediate dentures has been shown to significantly improve the stability and retention of the dentures, leading to increased patient satisfaction and improved function. A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that using mini dental implants to retain immediate dentures resulted in a 91% success rate, with patients reporting increased stability and retention.
In conclusion, immediate dentures offer a range of benefits, including the ability to chew and speak properly, maintain facial structure, and improve self-confidence. The use of mini dental implants to retain Implant-retained dentures has been shown to significantly improve the stability and retention of the dentures, leading to increased patient satisfaction and improved function.
