Have you ever worn clothes that don’t quite fit? Sure, they may cover you, but whether they’re too tight or too loose, you may find yourself shifting around all day trying to get comfortable. Dentures have a similar problem. When your prosthetic doesn’t fit perfectly, it can cause major discomfort and stress throughout your day. Both upper and lower dentures cause frustration, but upper dentures create a specific discomfort that many patients find hard to manage. If you’re struggling with your upper denture, we recommend using implants for support! At Brent Bradford, DDS, we offer dental implants to anchor dentures in place and create a more natural-feeling restoration that keeps you smiling comfortably.<\/p>\n

Common Problems With Upper Dentures<\/h2>\n

Upper dentures are a traditional prosthetic that replaces the teeth in your upper arch. Typically, they have a denture base designed to replicate your gums and a set of beautiful teeth on top. When an upper dentadura<\/a><\/strong> fits well, it restores your ability to eat and smile like you would with natural teeth. However, it’s rarely that simple for patients.<\/p>\n

These prosthetics have a large gum base that covers your entire upper palate<\/a><\/strong>. Your dentures stay secure by suctioning to your palate, creating enough retention to keep your teeth functional. But your upper palate also has important taste buds that the denture plate completely covers. Without these taste buds, patients may find it harder to fully taste and enjoy their food.<\/p>\n

Additionally, some patients find that upper dentures reach far back towards their throat, causing an uncomfortable sensation or gag reflex. While this large plate is necessary, it can be incredibly difficult to get used to, and even impossible for those with a sensitive gag reflex.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen these problems time and time again with denture patients. Either their dentures don’t stay still, they have trouble tasting food, or they struggle to keep their dentures in place without gagging. If you’ve experienced any of these issues, we have a solution for you.<\/p>\n

Supporting Upper Dentures With Dental Implants<\/h2>\n

At our office, we offer implante dental<\/a><\/strong> solutions for traditional denture problems. Dental implants are screws made of titanium that we embed in your jawbone to act as a solid foundation for your prosthetics.<\/p>\n

For patients with loose dentures, these implants help keep their smile secure so they can chew and function normally. And for patients with upper denture problems like discomfort, loss of taste, or gagging, implants change the way your denture fits for a more comfortable experience!<\/p>\n
