As a result, their bite is stronger and their confidence\nis given a well-deserved boost. However, many people still aren\u2019t aware of the versatility\ndental implants can offer, especially for those who currently wear either full\nor partial dentures in Longmont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After placing your implants and crafting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longmontcompletedentistry.com\/full-and-partial-dentures.html\">denture<\/a>\ndesigned to fit with them, your quality of life will notice significant\nimprovements. Consider your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longmontcompletedentistry.com\/all-on-4-teeth-in-a-day.html\">options<\/a>\ntoday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removable Overdenture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular implant-retained denture options available\ntoday is a removable overdenture. This option involves the creation of a custom\nprosthetic that\u2019s fitted with sockets for implants to connect too. Because the\ndenture is removable, cleaning the restoration as well as your gum tissue and\nabutment is a relatively straightforward process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to best care for an overdenture, you\u2019ll need to\nremove it daily to practice oral care. Cleaning the denture involves brushing it\nwith a denture-friendly cleaning solution and soaking it in cool water when not\nin use. This prevents the denture from changing shape over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While overdentures do offer a more comfortable fit, it\u2019s important\nthat you visit the dentist as recommended (typically every six months) or when\nan issue develops with your comfort or fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fixed Denture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fixed option for implant-retained dentures offers a\nsolution for those who want to avoid removing their denture altogether. Fixed\ndentures are designed to stay in the mouth and only be removed by the dentist\nfor replacement or deeper cleaning. You\u2019ll still need to practice daily oral\ncare, but there\u2019s no need to soak your denture or clean it outside of your\nmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Combining Dentures and Dental Implants in Longmont<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s clear that both removable and fixed implant-retained\ndentures offer many benefits to those suffering from tooth loss. Below is a\nlist of just a handful of the benefits you can expect after your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A smile that looks and feels natural<\/li><li>The chance to regain as much as 70 percent of\nyour biting force<\/li><li>A long-term, cost-effective solution to tooth\nloss<\/li><li>The chance to preserve bone density, therefore\nmaintain your jaw\u2019s overall shape<\/li><li>No slipping or irritation while eating or\nspeaking<\/li><li>No need for messy or ineffective denture\nadhesives<\/li><li>High success rates you can rely on (with the\naverage reaching as high as 95 percent)<\/li><li>The ability to eat the foods you want with\nconfidence<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Solution Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution you choose should be made with the dentist\u2019s recommendation\nin mind. For one, those who don\u2019t have as much bone available may prefer a removeable\noverdenture as it doesn\u2019t require as many implants to place. In contrast, those\nwho have lost most or all of their teeth but also have sufficient bone volume may\nbenefit from fixed dentures. It\u2019s worth noting that even though removeable\ndentures do require more maintenance, they are easier to keep clean compared to\nfixed solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to learn for sure is to schedule an implant\nconsultation with a dentist. Stop by an office today and get started enhancing\nyour smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.longmontcompletedentistry.com\/meet-dr-dan-maurer.html\">Dr.\nDan Maurer<\/a> earned his DDS degree from the University of Colorado School of\nDental Medicine.
