Apuesta por los implantes para tu dentadura inferior y estabiliza tu sonrisa [Guía en vídeo]

Between upper and lower dentures, most patients find their lower prosthetic to be less stable. Lower dentures, despite their high-quality material and custom design, simply aren’t meant to stay secure. Over time, no matter how many relines and how much denture glue you use, the prosthetic will eventually come loose in your mouth. This unfortunate reality is one that many Americans face, often without knowing where to turn for a more secure solution. At Brent Bradford, DDS, we can anchor your lower denture in place with dental implants! These titanium screws embed in your jawbone to provide stable support for your lower denture, allowing you to smile and chew confidently.

The Drawbacks of a Loose Lower Denture

Tradicional dentaduras están diseñadas para adaptarse perfectamente al contorno de la boca. Por desgracia, su ajuste no es duradero, ya que las prótesis inferiores dependen del hueso de la mandíbula, que cambia de forma con el tiempo.

Natural teeth have tooth roots embedded in your jawbone that stimulate the bone when you bite or chew. Stimulation is essential for maintaining a healthy jawbone. Without it, your jaw will deteriorate, losing mass and volume.

The longer you go without replacing these roots, the more bone structure you’ll lose. While traditional dentures do sustituir los dientes que faltan, se no replace missing tooth roots, which allows your jawbone to continue shrinking, resulting in ill-fitting dentures.

Las consecuencias comunes de las dentaduras postizas sueltas son:

• Irritación de las encías: As lower dentures shift on your gums when you eat or speak, the tissues become irritated. Eventually, gum irritation may lead to raw spots, bleeding, and an increased risk of infection.
• Llagas en la dentadura: La fricción constante contra las encías también provoca dolorosas llagas o ampollas en la dentadura, lo que hace que llevar dentadura postiza sea doloroso.
• Problemas de masticación: La combinación de encías doloridas y dentaduras postizas que se desplazan hace que comer sea mucho más difícil para los pacientes. Las dentaduras postizas tradicionales carecen de la fuerza de los dientes naturales, lo que limita sus opciones dietéticas. Con las dentaduras postizas sueltas, es posible que tenga que cambiar su dieta, evitando los alimentos duros o resistentes que tienen nutrientes importantes para su cuerpo.

Afortunadamente, mediante el uso de implantes dentales para la estabilidad de la dentadura inferior, podemos restaura tu capacidad para hablar, reír y comer cómodamente.

Asegure su dentadura inferior con implantes dentales

Implantes dentales son postes de titanio que colocamos en el maxilar para support denture restorations and act as artificial tooth roots! With implants in place, we stop bone resorption while securing your lower denture.

In many cases, Brent Bradford, DDS, uses miniimplantes dentales for better denture support and comfort. These small titanium posts fit in less jawbone, making patients who’ve lost bone structure more eligible for implant treatment!

If your loose denture is in good condition, we may be able to transform it into an implant overdenture. This prosthetic uses four mini implants on the bottom arch and six on the top for retention. Then, inside the base of your denture, we create housings, or spaces for the implants to fit, with rubber O-rings. These rings allow your restoration to “snap” on and off your implants for easy maintenance. If your traditional denture isn’t in good condition, we will fabricate you a new prosthetic that is custom-fit to your jawbone.

We highly recommend this procedure to patients who are struggling with a loose lower denture. By adding implants to your lower denture, we prevent any movement from disrupting your daily life. Most patients find that prótesis implantosoportadas can greatly improve their quality of life by eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of a loose-fitting denture.
