The Roundhouse Bridge: Upgrade Your Dentures in Sonora, CA

Roundhouse Bridge in Sonora, CA | Natural Looking and Feeling Dentures

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), around 13% of adults 60 and up in Michigan have lost all of their teeth. While traditional dentures are often the most common solution to total tooth loss, dental implants have long been the most reliable. By securing your denture prosthetic with implants, you can keep your teeth in place and restore function to your smile! However, at Sonora Dentist, Dr. Berger offers implant dentures that provide incredible stability, replicating the appearance and function of your natural teeth. With a roundhouse bridge solution, you can restore your smile like never before!

The Stability of Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium screws that we anchor in your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. By restoring these roots, implants stimulate your jaw while you chew and bite, keeping it healthy.

However, conventional implants are large and often require uncomfortable procedures that take months to heal. Fortunately, Dr. Berger has a better solution! He utilizes mini dental implants, rather than their conventional counterparts.

Using these small titanium posts, he is able to replace your missing tooth roots and stabilize your denture in just a few weeks! Thanks to their slim design and simple placement procedure, mini implants integrate with your jawbone at a much faster rate. Once they’re totally secure, Dr. Berger will anchor a denture restoration on top to restore your smile!

Understanding a Roundhouse Bridge

At Sonora Dentist, Dr. Berger offers a variety of mini implant dentures. However, roundhouse bridges stand out among the rest, as they’re the most secure and the most realistic-looking!

While other implant dentures are stable in your smile, they lack the permanence of a roundhouse bridge. Unlike other denture restorations, roundhouse bridges utilize anywhere from 6 to 12 mini implants, depending on the level of removability you desire.

Additionally, these restorations feature a unique horseshoe-like design that follows the natural curve of your jaw! By securing these natural-looking arches, Dr. Berger can remove the usual bulky denture base that traditional dentures use. Instead, these restorations secure directly on your implants, sometimes forgoing the denture base altogether!

This not only frees your upper palate, allowing you to taste your food to the fullest extent, but it also makes your dentures look and feel more natural! At Sonora Dentist, these prosthetics are the closest you can get to having your natural teeth back.

Roundhouse Bridge Options in Sonora, CA

At Sonora Dentist, we offer two roundhouse bridge restorations supported by mini implants.

  • Roundhouse Bridge in Sonora, CA | Natural Looking and Feeling DenturesSemi-removable roundhouse bridge: This restoration requires 6 to 10 mini implants for stability. At Sonora Dentist, Dr. Berger places these implants using a minimally invasive procedure that allows for fast healing. Once your prosthetic is secure on your implants, you’ll never remove it. Instead, a semi-removable roundhouse bridge is only removed by Dr. Berger during routine dental visits to ensure the health of your gums and implants.
  • Non-removable roundhouse bridge: Like your natural teeth, a non-removable roundhouse bridge never comes out, even at routine dental visits. Dr. Berger cements this prosthetic in place on 10 to 12 mini dental implants to keep it incredibly secure. In many cases, this denture doesn’t require a denture base, providing an incredibly sleek design for patients like you to enjoy!

However, just like your natural teeth, roundhouse bridges require maintenance. At Sonora Dentist, Dr. Berger recommends brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristle brush and flossing regularly.

In many cases, patients benefit from using an electric toothpaste and water flosser, as these devices do most of the work for you while gently keeping your teeth clean!

Finally, don’t forget to schedule your routine dental check-ups at Sonora Dentist to maintain a healthy and happy smile.
