Denture Stabilization Options:

Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures are a popular stabilization option involving surgically placing dental implants in the jawbone. These implants serve as sturdy anchors for attaching the dentures. The number of implants required depends on the specific needs and conditions of the patient. Implant-supported dentures provide a strong foundation, preventing denture movement and improving bite force and stability.

Mini Dental Implants: Mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. Mini dental implants can stabilize dentures effectively and offer improved comfort and functionality. They are an excellent option for patients with insufficient bone density or those seeking a less invasive treatment approach.

What are the Benefits of Denture Stabilization?

1. Enhanced Stability: Denture stabilization ensures that your dentures stay securely in place, eliminating the discomfort and embarrassment associated with loose or ill-fitting dentures. With stabilized dentures, you can confidently speak, laugh, and eat without worrying about denture slippage.
2. Improved Chewing Efficiency: Denture stabilization allows for better chewing efficiency and bite force, making it easier to enjoy a wider variety of foods. You can savor your favorite meals again and maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.
3. Increased Comfort: Denture stabilization eliminates the rubbing, sore spots, and gum irritation commonly experienced with traditional dentures. Denture stabilization enhances overall comfort and eliminates denture-related discomfort by providing a stable and secure fit.
4. Preserved Bone Health: Dental implants used in denture stabilization stimulate the jawbone, helping preserve bone density and prevent bone loss. This implant is crucial for maintaining facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance often associated with traditional dentures.
5. Natural Appearance: Denture stabilization ensures that your dentures remain in the correct position, maintaining a natural and esthetically pleasing smile. The stability provided by dental implants also prevents facial sagging and helps maintain a youthful appearance.

The Denture Stabilization Process

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Salguti will perform a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health, jawbone density, and suitability for denture stabilization. This evaluation will involve thoroughly examining your teeth, gums, bone structure, and any necessary dental imaging.
2. Treatment Planning: Dr. Salguti will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs based on the evaluation. This plan will outline the number of implants required, the type of dentures to be used, and the timeline for the procedure.
3. Dental Implant Placement: The dental implant placement procedure involves the surgical placement of the implants into the jawbone. The implants will then be given time to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort.
4. Denture Attachment: Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, your dentures will be securely attached to the implants using abutments or other connecting mechanisms. Dr. Salguti will ensure that your dentures fit comfortably and securely, providing a stable and reliable solution.
