Prótesis dentales en Turlock: Vuelve a disfrutar de la comida con una sonrisa firme [Vídeo incluido]

Food is much more than just a way to fuel our bodies. Eating is how we connect with others, as we pass plates across the dinner table and share family recipes with our children. But how does that connection fare when you can’t enjoy the foods you love? For those with loose dentures or missing teeth, eating can become a chore. Rather than spending quality time with loved ones, mealtime may be stressful or even embarrassing, as you no longer chew the way you used to. If you’re one of the many patients in Turlock, CA, and beyond who struggle with loose dentures, we invite you to visit Sonora Dentist!

En our office in Sonora, CA, we offer a variety of implant denture options that stabilize loose smiles and strengthen your bite. With these dentures in place, you can enjoy the foods you love again and eat without worry.

¿Cuáles son las causas de que una dentadura postiza se afloje?

Prótesis tradicionales rely on your jawbone for support. But after tooth loss, your jaw doesn’t make for the strongest foundation.

Natural teeth have roots that embed in your jaw, hidden underneath your gums. These roots press into your jawbone every time you chew, providing the necessary stimulation to keep your bone healthy. But once you lose teeth, your jawbone will weaken over time, deteriorating underneath your denture.

Without a strong jawbone to rely on, your denture will lose its fit and loosen in your mouth. Loose or floating dentures shift with every bite. This instability is particularly true of the lower jaw, which is home to 44 muscles. Even the slightest of twitches may cause your denture to rise.

To address this problem, we add miniimplantes dentales to your denture!

These titanium posts anchor in your jawbone, taking the place of missing tooth roots. In doing so, they both stimulate your jaw and create a strong foundation for your denture to rely on. Prótesis sobre implantes are similar to traditional dentures, but with special housings that snap over your implants.

With implants holding your prosthetic in place, you can function normally again and eat the foods you want to without worry. While there may still be minor movement due to the attachments, the denture itself will remain stable and won’t change direction with each bite.

Implant Dentures in Turlock

For patients in Turlock, CA, and beyond, we offer implant dentures of all kinds. These restorations differ in their structure and design, but all provide a reliable bite.

Snap-On Dentures

For those who want an implant denture most similar to a traditional denture in terms of removability, we recommend snap-on dentures. Also called overdentures, these prosthetics look similar to a traditional restoration and are removable at your convenience.

The biggest difference, however, is that snap-on dentures have the extra support of 4 to 8 mini implants. We place these titanium posts strategically around your jawbone to evenly distribute the pressure of your bite. Then, by adding housings and special O-rings to the denture base, we create a retention system that keeps your prosthetic in place!

Removing your denture is easy, as the prosthetic “snaps” on and off your implants. But rest assured, when on implants, your snap-on denture stays stable in your mouth.

Semi-Permanent Roundhouse Bridge

A roundhouse bridge is a sleek-looking restoration that restores an entire smile like a denture. But rather than using a bulky denture base, this bridge resembles your natural teeth in the shape of a horseshoe. By securing directly over your implants, roundhouse bridges create an incredibly natural-looking smile with a powerful bite.

Semi-permanent roundhouse bridges are anchored by 6 to 10 mini implants and are never removed by you. Instead, only we remove them during routine dental visits! At these appointments, we will clean around your implants and check that your denture is in great shape. And when we’re done, we anchor the restoration back on your implants.

Permanent Roundhouse Bridge

For patients who want to get their artificial teeth as close as possible to their natural teeth, we recommend a permanent roundhouse bridge. This denture uses 10 to 12 mini implants for support, and with extra implants comes extra stability.

A permanent roundhouse bridge is cemented in place on your implants, never to come out. With its sleek, natural design and incredible stability, most patients find that this denture replicates the strength of their natural smile.

With a permanent roundhouse bridge, you can chew all the foods you love without hesitation!
