Traditional dentures may seem like a reasonable solution to a common problem, but sometimes, they lead to issues of their own. Whether it's due to the shape of the mouth or the dentures themselves, ill-fitting dentures are uncomfortable, which is why custom denture implants may be the better choice. This is one of the many services that Total Health Dentistry provides to clients throughout Cold Spring, KY, and they've seen the substantial difference implants can make for their patients.

For those considering getting dental implants, here are a few of the key advantages: 

  • No More Painful Meals: When improperly fitted, traditional dentures are at their worst while eating. What should be a pleasant meal quickly becomes a painful experience. Loose dentures tend to slide around as you chew, creating sore spots on the gums.  
  • Custom DenturesA Better Fit for All: The custom denture implant process begins when two to four implants are surgically anchored to the bone itself. Once the bone heals and secures itself to the implants—typically taking around six months—the dentist can begin construction of the custom dentures. While the dentures themselves are removable, they clip into a bar on the implants for a tighter, more reliable fit. 
  • Multiple Attachment Options: There are two attachment options depending on the state of the patient's bone and supporting gum tissue. Implant Retained Dentures will use the attachments to stay in place while primary support is left to the bone and gum tissue. When patients don't have enough bone or gum tissue to support the dentures themselves, they can turn to implant supported dentures, which primarily rely on the implant bar for support. 

When dentures just aren't cutting it, look into custom denture implants for a natural, comfortable smile. If you think you may be a viable candidate for implants, schedule a thorough dental exam at Total Health Dentistry.
