Overcoming the Downsides of Traditional Dentures

Dentures are known as affordable and reliable treatments for tooth loss. After all, they’ve been used for centuries, dating right back to early human history. While the dentures used today are a far cry from the early technologies, they still leave a lot to be desired.

The biggest problem with traditional dentures is that they rest directly on the gums. While they can be affixed using adhesive, they never create the same kind of stability as natural teeth. Aesthetically, modern dentures can look quite realistic, but functionally, they can become frustrating to deal with.

  • You’ll need to train yourself to eat and speak when wearing traditional dentures. It might sound dramatic, but this is absolutely the case with each patient. Dentures tend to move in the mouth even when special adhesives are used. You’ll need to eat, speak, and chew much slower than normal as you get used to dentures in your mouth. This can be overcome, but it’s a level of discomfort that you simply shouldn’t have to deal with in modern dentistry.
  • And then there’s the care and the maintenance. Traditional dentures that rest on the gums need to be removed for cleaning and rinsing. There’s a higher risk of bacteria and irritation because the dentures are always resting on the gums.
  • Finally, you need to consider the fact that dentures do nothing to address bone loss and changes in your facial structure. Your jawbone will begin to recede because the tooth roots are no longer there to stimulate it.

 

Where does this leave you when you need treatment for an entire arch? Individual implants for every tooth would be impractical, but there is a solution in the middle.

Locator dentures in Surrey BC, also known as implant dentures in surrey BC, use implant posts and an overdenture to provide the practical benefits of traditional dentures without any of the downsides.

Like dentures, the treatment is cost-efficient. The team at Nordel Crossing Dental Centre is ready to begin with your evaluation and treatment planning today.
