Why dental implants
For many patients dental implants have become the standard of care required for replacing missing teeth.
Most dentists advice is to replace teeth with implants.
For some people that have lost all of their teeth and have to wear dentures, every day is an inconvenience for many aspects of life including:
- When your teeth are missing it’s very difficult to chew solid foods
- Some avoid smiling or talking because of embarrassment
- Jawbone resorption happens because as teeth are missing your body tries to heal itself. This means that bones tissues are destroyed causing more bone loss.
- Other symptoms include bad breath, gum disease and poor dental hygiene
What can be done to replace teeth
For patients that are missing all of their teeth, there is a few options
- Dentures
- Dental implants full mouth
Dentures
What are dentures, dentures is a laboratory fabricated artificial tooth, they are used as a substitute for all missing teeth.
Dentures are manufactured from acrylic, they are coloured to match the colour of the gum tissue.
At Hungarian Dental Implant Centre Wexford we look forward to providing you with a free consultation book here.
If you have dentures and all of your teeth are missing, or perhaps you are thinking of getting them one thing that you should know.
Dentures are more of a short term than a long term solution.
Very often, people decide on dentures because they are much less expensive.
Dentures have to be taken out and cleaned each night, over time they will need a lot of maintenance meaning more dental visits.
Dentures don’t allow you chew and eat some foods that you may like, dentures can be uncomfortable to wear.
Overall dentures have their limitations, so why replace teeth with implants?
Full mouth dental implants
Dentists talk about the reasons to replace teeth with implants and these reasons are compelling.
Implants are the benchmark of care for replacing missing teeth.
Implants surpass the feeling of dentures because they look and function much the same as natural teeth.
Why replace teeth with implants
It doesn’t matter whether it’s one tooth or all of your teeth dental implants will work either way.
They are the gold standard recommended choice of dentists throughout the world.
Dental implants will restore your mouth to full capacity and functionality because in the jawbone there are tooth roots.
Wher no teeth exist the roots die and there is nothing to stimulate the growth of bone.
When there is no bone growth the body judges that the jawbone isn’t needed anymore and starts to dissolve the jawbone, .
This process is not good news because it can lead to full facial deterioration.
This causes bridges or dentures to be less effective as a result of not enough bone left to act as a support for dentures.
As the bone breaks down facial muscles move from their normal location as lips collapse because of a lack of support.
The lower section of face will reduce in size creating an unnatural looking chin.
Wrinkles in and around the mouth dramatically increase, missing teeth can make someone look older than they actually are.
Replace teeth with implants and reverse what is happening.
Reasons to replace teeth with implants
If you can afford it there is a number of good reasons to replace teeth with implants, for example:
- Stops bone deterioration
- Looks so natural and functions just like natural teeth
- You can eat all of your favourite foods like steak, apples, corn on the cob, sticky snacks
- A long term solution that is permanent
- Much improved comfort and stability compared to dentures
- Supports the facial integrity structure (no more sagging jawline)
- Gives back natural chewing and biting capacity
Why replace all missing teeth with implants
You have all of your teeth missing you are trying to decide why replace all missing teeth with implants.
To be honest full mouth implants are considerably superior to a traditional set of dentures, let me explain
1. Full mouth dental implants are without doubt a long term proposition for people that have all of their teeth missing.
Admittedly dentures are a more affordable short term option.
However if you are looking for the best long term option for missing teeth look no further than dental implants.
Let’s not forget that the success rate of dental implants is as high as 95%, significantly higher than other options for replacing teeth.
2. The highest standard of care: around the world dental implants are acknowledged as the highest standard of care.
They are recommended for missing teeth for a number of reasons.
Dental implants are a strong and stable substitute that appears, functions and feels just like natural teeth.
3. Easy to care for: dental implants are as close to natural teeth as you can get.
They are super easy to care for, just brush, floss and use a quality mouth wash, just like you would with natural teeth.
Other issues because of missing teeth
One other reason to replace missing teeth with implants is the issue of what is happening in your mouth every time you eat and chew food.
In a situation where all teeth are missing the jawbone deteriorates.
This can cause compromised nutrition, gum inflammation, and bad digestion.
Studies on poor oral health
Studies on poor oral health indicate that it can cause symptoms of cardiovascular disease.
The well respected dental publication Periodontal Health reported on gum disease and its effects.
The report stated that gum disease and its effects are connected to bigger risks of developing diseases.
In the report people with gum disease were more likely to:
- Develop coronary artery disease up to 4 times more at risk
- Have a stroke 2-3 times more likely
- Diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop the condition
- Chronic respiratory disease 2 to 4 times more likely to develop the condition
- Pregnancy adverse outcomes 4 to 7 times more likely
