Dietary & nutritional benefits
Implant Facts
Once implants are placed into your jaw, the bone and the implant body integrate into one cohesive member and provide a stable and reliable anchor on which the denture later “snaps” onto. Dental implants are shown to preserve bone and reduce gum tissue loss. Functions such as eating, speech and laughter can now be performed more successfully and with confidence. Implants are the closest thing to natural teeth, and historically have a high clinical success rate. Patients who have opted for dental implants often remark how similar the implant feels to their own natural teeth.
Implants & Chewing Function
It is a quite common issue for full denture wearers to struggle during function. Chewing food that they use be able to with natural teeth, can be difficult, or even impossible. As the underlying bone continues to shrink, denture retention and support declines. Patients will find that their dentures will move, or even completely dislodged during eating. An implant stabilized denture can help this. They minimize movement of the denture for better chewing from side to side and allow a stronger bite force. Dental implants can allow you to eat the foods you use to love!
