Without effective brushing practices on a daily basis and regular cleanings, there is a chance of developing periodontitis which might lead to tooth loss ultimately if left untreated. On top of that, missing tooth is also partially an age-related issue. It’s not rare to see the old who have lost most of their teeth. As we know, missing teeth will not only cause trouble in dinning, but also result in further harm on other healthy tooth tissues and the overall oral health.  

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, it’s suggested to seek a complete implant denture for those who have lost most or even all of their teeth. Nonetheless, not every dentist is capable of carrying out such a restorative practice. It’d better get the dental work done by an experienced and skillful dentist, ensuring a successful result. Here comes a few advantages of a complete implant denture.

    1. No enamel abrasion is needed. Differing from traditional restoration technique like porcelain tooth, implant denture is supported by freestanding artificial roots, without the need of removing healthy tooth enamel. In other words, the procedure does no harm to other teeth, being safe and reliable. 

    2. Implant denture enjoys a strong stability. Generally speaking, the artificial roots are supposed to firmly integrate into alveolar bone in a similar way as natural tooth roots do. An implant restoration consists of three parts — implant post, abutment and crown, with no need of other accessories like clasps or brackets. Hence there will be no foreign body sensation, which will be quite comfortable for patients. Besides, it’s also rather convenient to maintain oral hygiene if you seek an complete implant denture.

    3. It yields an aesthetic result. Such things as personal profile and the contour and color of teeth will all be factored in when conducting the restoration, for the sake of a coordinated and aesthetic result. 

    Though implant denture is an ideal option to restore missing teeth, not everyone is an eligible candidate for it. Consult with your dentist and get a customized treatment plan for your case. Please feel free to contact me if there’s any dental problem. (WeChat ID: aiyuan325180)
