For something to be permanent, it needs to make a lasting impression. Words etched in stone or tattoos inked onto your skin are permanent, as it’s almost impossible to remove them. Other, less tangible things, like big life decisions or marriage vows, can be seen as permanent as well. In the world of dentures, however, permanent means that your restoration will never come out of your mouth. Unlike traditional dentures, which are fully removable, permanent dentures are cemented onto dental implants! These titanium screws secure into your jawbone to provide a permanent solution for tooth loss.
With permanent dentures comes permanent advantages to restoring your smile. Book a free implant consultation at Sonora Dentist to understand what implant dentures can do for you!
How Sonora Dentist Makes Permanent Dentures Possible
To permanently secure your prosthetic, Dr. Berger uses mini dental implants.
These titanium screws anchor into your jawbone and bond with your bone over time to create a stable connection. With implants as a foundation, he can secure a denture prosthetic to your jawbone, restoring your smile!
Unlike traditional dentures, these restorations stay secure, providing a strong and effective bite. By cementing your prosthetic in place, Dr. Berger provides a stable smile that mimics the strength and appearance of your natural teeth.
Our Permanent Denture Solutions
While Dr. Berger offers several mini dental implant-supported denture restorations, only some are permanent.
One such denture is the semi-permanent roundhouse bridge! A roundhouse bridge is a sleek-looking prosthetic that doesn’t require a large denture base like traditional dentures do. By removing part of the base’s structure, Dr. Berger provides a more natural-looking solution to tooth loss.
To secure this prosthetic, he uses 6 to 10 mini implants strategically placed around your jaw to evenly distribute the pressure of your bite. Then, Dr. Berger provides you with a semi-permanent restoration to secure onto your implants! However, it’s important to note that while you won’t remove this denture, he will during routine dental visits to ensure your smile remains healthy.
Another permanent denture that Dr. Berger offers is the permanent roundhouse bridge. This prosthetic is similar to a semi-permanent roundhouse bridge, but with even more stability! Thanks to the implants that support it, this roundhouse bridge may not require a denture base at all, giving your denture a natural look.
After placing 10 to 12 small titanium posts around your jaw, Dr. Berger will then cement your denture onto your implants. By using dental cement, he offers a permanent solution to tooth loss that mimics your natural smile in both appearance and stability.
Discover the Lasting Advantages of Permanent Dentures
Thanks to the permanent solutions that implant dentures provide, patients like you can enjoy lasting advantages. These include:
- Maximum stability: Traditional dentures are notorious for loosening over time. Loose dentures cause various issues, such as denture sores or embarrassing mishaps that make your denture slip out of your mouth! Fortunately, with permanent dentures, you can experience the maximum possible stability to secure your smile!
- Natural look and feel: Like your natural teeth, permanent dentures don’t move or shift with every bite. Instead, these prosthetics stay secure in your smile, replicating the natural look and feel of your permanent teeth! With the strength and stability of the teeth you once had, you can eat any food you want without hesitation.
- Comfort and convenience: Traditional and removable implant dentures require more care than permanent dentures do. They must be removed and rinsed after every meal, and even soaked in a denture-safe solution overnight! In contrast, permanent dentures require the same care as your natural teeth! Simply brush twice a day, floss, and visit your dentist regularly for routine dental visits to keep your smile healthy.
