In the movie Avengers: Infinity War, the villain Thanos wiped out half the universe with a snap of his fingers. In Avengers: Endgame (spoiler alert), the good guys brought all those people back with a snap of their own. Replacing your teeth doesn’t have to have multi-versal consequences or costs, but you can still do it with a snap! Snap-in dentures provide an added layer of stability and functionality over traditional dentures while still being removable for cleaning.
Understanding the Impact of Tooth Loss
Tooth loss can affect your life in numerous ways, from difficulty speaking and chewing to decreased self-confidence. It’s essential to address this issue promptly to regain your smile’s full function and appearance. Traditional dentures have been a go-to solution for years, but they have their fair share of drawbacks. In addition to not fully restoring your ability to eat and speak like you used to, the biggest problem with old-fashioned dentures is that they don’t replace your missing tooth roots.
By not replacing the roots, dentures do nothing to stop the resorption of your jawbone, which comes with tooth loss. This will affect how your dentures fit and change your face’s shape.
The Downside of Traditional Dentures
- Imitating natural teeth: Traditional dentures often fail to mimic natural teeth. Crafted out of acrylic and with a bulky pink base, they lack the texture and translucence of real teeth, leading to discomfort and dietary restrictions.
- Changing fit: Over time, the fit of traditional dentures can change, causing discomfort, irritation, and even speech impediments. Dentures may shift or pop out at any time, leading to embarrassment.
- Maintaining and adjusting: Traditional dentures require regular adjustments, relining, and sometimes messy adhesives to maintain functionality. This can be both time-consuming and costly.
- Risking loss or damage: Conventional dentures must be constantly removed, making them susceptible to loss or damage. Many users struggle with keeping them secure and intact or keeping track of the prosthetic when not wearing it.
- Promoting bone health: Traditional dentures may replace missing teeth, but they can’t prevent bone loss. Tooth roots stimulate the jawbone; without them, your jaw will deteriorate over time.
The Solution: Snap-In Dentures
If you’re seeking an alternative to traditional dentures that addresses these common issues, snap-in dentures may be the perfect solution. At Aspire Dental Group, we can stabilize loose dentures with mini dental implants, providing the stability and comfort you’ve been longing for.
Snap-in dentures, also known as implant overdentures, are designed to secure teeth in place using mini implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on the roof of your mouth or jawbone ridge for support, snap-in dentures are anchored by 4-8 mini implants. This exceptional stability ensures a secure and long-lasting fit. The strong connection to your jawbone means your dentures will never move or slide around again. It also improves their functionality, meaning you can speak clearly and eat all your favorite foods again. Speaking of eating, snap-in dentures also eliminate much of the bulky pink base of traditional dentures, allowing you to taste food normally.
Although they’re still removable at night for cleaning, snap-in dentures provide a far more secure and comfortable fit than conventional dentures.
Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
The mini implants holding snap-in dentures have plenty of benefits over other, more traditional tooth replacement options.
- Minimally invasive: Snap-in dentures involve a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes just one appointment.
- Quicker recovery: Due to their size and streamlined placement, patients recover rapidly from the mini implant procedure.
- Enhanced comfort: Snap-in dentures eliminate the frustrating slipping and sliding associated with traditional dentures, providing a comfortable and secure fit.
- Impressive durability: Mini implants are incredibly durable and fuse with the jawbone, offering unparalleled denture support.
- Better jawbone health: Unlike traditional dentures, snap-in dentures maintain your jawbone’s health by stimulating it and preventing long-term bone loss.
