Even if they fit perfectly in the beginning, your jaws begin to change shape and become smaller and thinner, so your dentures have to be continually adjusted to keep fitting. And, even with these adjustments, they eventually need to be replaced altogether. So what can you do for better-fitting dentures? Consider getting dental implants in Chesterfield! You\u2019ll not only improve the way dentures your fit, but your smile will look and feel much more natural as well.

Dental implants are different because they replace <em>the roots<\/em> of your missing teeth. In many cases, just 4 to 6 implants are needed per arch. Here are the benefits of implant-retained dentures:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Superior chewing strength and stability<\/strong> \u2013 As opposed to traditional dentures that are held in place with natural suction and adhesive, implant-retained dentures use dental implants as sturdy, physical anchors. This means you\u2019ll have dramatically improved stability, support and chewing power. And no more embarrassing slips!<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Your jawbone is preserved<\/strong> &#8211; Implants mimic natural tooth roots, which means they stimulate and preserve your jawbone. This is important for multiple reasons: It helps you maintain a more youthful facial structure and also helps your dentures fit better, longer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Implants are versatile<\/strong> \u2013 Implants can be customized for a variety of patients and situations.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Will Implant-Retained Dentures Work For You?<\/h2>\r\nYou\u2019ll be glad to know that most people are good candidates for this procedure. But to make sure an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yenzerdental.com\/implant-retained-dentures.html\">implant-retained denture<\/a> is successful for you in the long-run, a dentist\u00a0will thoroughly evaluate your needs before making a recommendation. Here are a few things they\u2019ll look at:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Your medical and dental history<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The health of your jawbone (if you don\u2019t have enough jawbone density to support an implant, a bone graft may be recommended)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Your oral hygiene habits<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Your gum health<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lifestyle choices such as tobacco use<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAfter you\u2019ve had a consultation, you\u2019ll be one step closer to a denture that fits better than ever (and all the benefits that go with that!)\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yenzerdental.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Jeff Yenzer<\/a> has been a family dentist in Chesterfield for nearly 20 years.
