What comes to mind when you hear the word “fix”? For many, it’s a word that holds power—it suggests solving problems, bringing things back to life, or making something better than it was before. Whether it’s repairing something broken or correcting an issue, “fixing” often signals a positive change. When we talk about fixed dentures, we’re not just talking about a dental solution—we’re offering something that can bring comfort, security, and a sense of renewal. Think about it: fixing something means addressing a problem that’s been nagging at you. Maybe it’s a quick solution, like patching up a leaky faucet, or perhaps something more lasting, like tightening a bolt to keep things stable. We’re not offering a quick patch with fixed dentures—we’re giving you something solid, reliable, and secure.
What Are Fixed Dentures and How Can They Help Me?
Traditional dentures often bring along challenges that can feel frustrating and limiting. Envision wearing dentures that need adhesives or suction to stay put, yet they still shift unexpectedly. A meal with friends or a casual conversation can become a moment of discomfort or awkwardness as the dentures slip. On top of that, upper dentures cover the roof of your mouth, impacting your ability to fully taste and enjoy food. This design can create a feeling of bulkiness, making it hard to forget you’re wearing them. The constant need to adjust or worry about them shifting can take away from the natural, carefree experience we expect from our teeth.
Implant dentures, on the other hand, represent a significant leap forward in dental technology and comfort. We anchor these dentures to dental implants that we place into your jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses with the implants, creating a secure, permanent foundation.
Unlike conventional options, implant dentures do not rely on adhesives or suction. Instead, they snap securely into place on the implants. But when discussing fixed dentures, we’re referring to a solution that remains permanently in your mouth. Fixed dentures are fastened directly to the implants. You don’t need to take them out, giving you the closest experience of having natural teeth.
Dental Implants: The Support for Your Fixed Denture
Thanks to dental implants, fixed dentures provide additional benefits. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone no longer receives the natural stimulation it once did from its root during chewing. Without this stimulation, the bone starts to deteriorate, a process known as bone resorption. Unfortunately, traditional dentures can’t stop this bone loss; they simply rest on the gums without engaging the underlying bone. Dental implants, however, are different. We place the implants directly into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. As a result, they restore the essential stimulation needed to maintain bone health. By anchoring the dentures to implants, you ensure that chewing forces are transmitted into the bone, helping to preserve its density and structure.
Mini Dental Implants: A Simpler Path To Denture Stabilization
Are you hesitant about the idea of getting dental implants? Does the thought of a surgical procedure make you lean toward conventional dentures instead? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, 36% of people in the U.S. have a fear of dental treatment, and we understand that dental procedures can feel intimidating. We offer a solution that makes the process simpler and less overwhelming: mini dental implants.
Mini dental implants are much smaller than traditional implant options. They are less than 3 millimeters in diameter compared to the 5 millimeters of standard implants. Unlike traditional implants, which consist of multiple parts, a mini implant is a single, slim titanium post with a ball-shaped end. Once we place the implant into your jawbone, the ball sits just above your gums and serves as the attachment point for your denture.
Because mini implants are smaller, they typically don’t require bone grafting, a major benefit for anyone who has experienced bone loss. Additionally, the placement process is minimally invasive. We can place the implants without incisions or stitches, making the procedure quicker, simpler, and more comfortable for you. Mini implants offer a stable denture solution with fewer complications, giving you the advantages of dental implants without the need for complex surgery.
