Discover Implant Dentures in Liverpool, NY!

When you think of dentures, you likely think of the bulky restoration that floated in water on your grandma’s nightstand. While this image is certainly still relevant, a much wider variety of denture options is now available thanks to advancements in modern dentistry. Implant dentures are one such technology that allows for a more comfortable fit and secure bite! Using dental implants to anchor your smile in place, you’ll find that your dentures not only stabilize but also remain secure in your mouth over time, with no relines required. If you’re searching for implant dentures in Liverpool, NY, visit Brent Bradford, DDS! With innovative technology and compassionate care, Dr. Brent Bradford can secure your smile for years to come.

The Consequences of Loose Dentures

Traditional dentures are designed using a mold of your mouth to fit perfectly against your gums. However, these dentures don’t account for your jawbone shifting over time.

Missing teeth result in bone resorption, a natural process in which your jawbone gradually deteriorates. This deterioration is due to the loss of tooth roots, which are responsible for stimulating your jaw when you chew. Without these roots, your jawbone slowly shrinks, creating a poor foundation for traditional dentures.

Unfortunately, these prosthetics don’t replace tooth roots, allowing your jaw to continue resorbing over time. As your jaw shrinks and your denture remains rigid, your prosthetic loses its perfect fit! Loose or floating dentures create a whole host of problems, like:

• Sore gums: As your prosthetic slides around in your mouth with every movement, your gums will likely become irritated. Irritation can create denture sores, which make your restoration painful to wear.
• Oral infections: When your denture shifts while chewing, food particles get trapped underneath the prosthetic. If left there, they collect bacteria, increasing your risk of oral infections.
• Chewing difficulties: To break down foods, you need a strong bite. Loose dentures lack the necessary force to eat tougher foods, which may result in a change in diet or, in the worst cases, malnutrition.

The good news is you don’t have to live with loose dentures anymore! Dr. Brent Bradford can secure your smile with implant dentures!

Providing Implant Dentures in Liverpool

While Dr. Bradford can stabilize your loose denture with conventional dental implants, he often prefers to use mini dental implants due to their numerous benefits.

These innovative tooth replacements are small in diameter, with a sleek one-piece design. Unlike their conventional counterparts, mini implants secure in minimal bone, often eliminating the need for additional procedures to rebuild lost bone!

Dr. Bradford begins every implant denture case in Liverpool, NY, with a free consultation. During this appointment, he takes a 3D digital X-ray to asses your jawbone and determine if you’re eligible for mini implants. If so, he’ll create a custom treatment plan and take an impression of your smile to send to a denture lab. There, lab technicians will use your impression to craft a denture, custom-fit to the contours of your mouth.

Once your denture arrives, he will schedule your implant placement appointment. Due to the small diameter of mini implants, Dr. Bradford uses a minimally invasive placement process. This gentle approach enables significantly faster healing and immediate stability upon placement! In the same appointment, Dr. Bradford will secure your denture on your implants, restoring your smile in just one day.

Our Innovative Implant Dentures

Dr. Bradford offers three distinct implant denture options.

• 

  Overdentures: Also known as snap-on dentures, these prosthetics are fully removable, “snapping” on and off your implants with ease. When on your implants, your dentures are incredibly secure, allowing Dr. Bradford to remove the bulky upper denture plate that traditional dentures require. If your denture meets the right conditions, he may also be able to transform your current denture into an overdenture.

• Semi-removable roundhouse bridges: Although technically a bridge, a roundhouse bridge acts as a denture because it replaces a full arch of teeth. However, this prosthetic doesn’t require a denture base. Instead, it secures directly to your implants! This sleek design gives semi-removable roundhouse bridges a more natural appearance, especially since they are only removed at routine dental visits.
• Non-removable roundhouse bridges: This denture is permanently fixed in your mouth, never to come out. Due to its sleek design, non-removable roundhouse bridges closely mimic the look and function of your natural smile.
