Denture Stabilization – Newark, DE
Enjoy the Security of Implant-Retained Dentures
Are you among the 35 million Americans who are missing all their natural teeth? To regain a functional smile, you have tried traditional dentures. While you had high hopes, they did not give you the results you wanted. Although several advancements have improved their fit, they still do not feel natural. At White Clay Dental, we can stop the slipping and irritation using dental implants in Newark. They anchor your denture in place to give you the next best thing to your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implant-retained dentures do not rely on suction or an adhesive to hold it in place. Instead, an average of 4 implant posts connects it to your jawbone. This allows you to enjoy many added benefits that are not possible with conventional dentures, such as:
- Look and feel natural: You will improve your biting force by over 70%.
- Long-term investment: With the right care, your dental implants can last for 30 years or longer.
- Preserves bone density: The implant posts stimulate your jawbone to encourage new growth.
- High success rate: Dental implants offer over a 95% success rate.
- Added confidence: Rest assured your new smile will stay in place. You will not need to worry about any slipping or irritation.
How Does It Work?
Dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as new tooth roots while also creating a secure foundation for your denture. To attach it to the posts, there are a couple of different abutment options that can be used.
Ball Implant Stabilization
Each implant features a metal attachment that fits into those that are on the denture. They are like a ball and socket system to secure your denture to the implant posts.
Bar Implant Stabilization
A thin metal bar is attached to the posts, which follows the curve of your jaw. Clips are featured on the bar to allow the denture to fit over it to be held in place.
Understanding the Cost of Implant-Retained Dentures
There is no set price tag for implant-retained dentures in Newark because there are several factors that influence the price, such as if you need additional procedures and your dental insurance. The cost of the treatment is broken into two phases: the placement of the posts and the abutment and restoration phase.
Although the procedure costs more than traditional dentures, they allow you to make a long-term investment. Your posts should never need to be replaced, so you can enjoy an option that lasts for several decades.
Caring for Your Implant-Retained Denture
To promote the longevity of your new smile, it is best to care for your implant-retained dentures properly:
- Clean around the implant posts and abutments twice a day to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria.
- Do not let your denture dry out by soaking it in a special solution every night.
- Brush your denture daily.
- Brush your gums, tongue, and palate using a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Visit your dentist regularly.
