Do you currently wear dentures and find them slipping and rocking when you speak or chew? Are you considering tooth replacement for the first time, but are unsure where to start?
If these questions describe your current life dilemma, we are here to help. For many of us, it’s not enough to replace lost teeth. Some of us are looking for a solution that restores or preserves our confidence.
In this blog, we’ll address the following questions:
- Are dental implants right for me?
- What are implant-supported dentures in St. Augustine, FL?
- Why is implant dentistry considered the gold standard in tooth replacement?
Are Dental Implants Right for Me?
We invite you to come to our dental office for a consultation to determine whether dental implants are suitable for your tooth replacement. The consultation includes a comprehensive exam and conversation about your goals, budget, and timeframe.
You may be an immediate candidate for implant dentistry or require bone grafting and other pretreatments to make implants a reality. If you are not a candidate for dental implants, we can discuss secure alternatives.
Why More Patients Are Choosing Implant Dentures
Implant dentures can transform your smile and boost your confidence because they are secure. In other words, because we connect implant dentures directly to the jaw, they never move or shift when you’re speaking or eating. Additionally, no one will guess you have implants!
With implant dentures, we use six or fewer dental implants (per arch) to secure dentures to the jaw, which is a big step up from using a dental implant for every lost tooth.
Dental Implants Are Still the Gold Standard
Dentists call dental implants the gold standard because:
- Implants can last for decades or even a lifetime.
- Implants require no added maintenance.
- Implants are most like natural teeth.
- Implants protect your jawbone from deterioration.
