Rochester MN Dentist: Four Benefits of Implant Dentures

elderly smileDo you feel as though embarrassment is never far away because of your ill-fitting dentures? Do you wish you could find some way to keep them firmly in place so that you could live your life without worrying about your dentures? If so, you may benefit from implant dentures. Read below as your Rochester MN dentist, Dr. Calcagno, discusses four of the many benefits offered by implant dentures.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

  1. No more embarrassing slips. Implant dentures use the stabilizing ability of dental implants to anchor dentures into position. Dental implants feature titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Once in position, these posts fuse with the jawbone to provide a strong root for the dentures, keeping them stable to put a stop to embarrassing slips.
  2. Improved speech. Because implant dentures keep dentures from moving around the mouth, speech often improves. When dentures do not fit properly and move around the mouth, the facial muscles tense in an effort to keep the dentures steady. Unfortunately, the muscular effort exerted by the facial muscles comes at the expense of speech, which ends up mumbled or slurred.
  3. An improved sense of taste. Traditional dentures rely on suction to stay in place and thus must cover the palate. Implant dentures, on the other hand, rely on dental implants to hold them in place, allowing the palate to remain uncovered.
  4. A more natural feel. Natural teeth are anchored into the jawbone by their roots. The dental implants, which fuse with the jawbone, act similarly to roots and lend implant dentures a more natural feel than traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and rely on suction to stay in position.
