Secure Your Smile

Patients who have removable dentures often end up trading them for dental implants to achieve better results. Tooth implants are designed to look and function just like natural teeth and eliminate many of the complications associated with dentures. You can improve your quality of life and feel more confident when you smile with dental implants.

Bone Loss and Missing Teeth

Your teeth are important to overall oral health and when you have missing teeth, you increase the risk of further jaw bone loss. When teeth become lost, they lose their root stimulation that normally occurs you chew or bite together. Since dental implants are fused into the jaw bone, they will stimulate these areas just like natural teeth.

Dentures vs. Dental Implants in Berkeley, CA

Dental implants are a highly effective option for replacing a single missing tooth or several missing teeth. Many patients who wear removable dentures end up switching to dental implants and enjoy more positive results. Implants function just like natural teeth and allow the patient to eat and speak normally. They can also improve aesthetic appearance and will help prevent bone loss in the area of the implant over time.

Characteristics of Dental Implants

• Titanium composition - Titanium is naturally compatible with the body and easily fuses with the jaw bone.
• Provide stability - The base of an implant functions like the tooth root and fits naturally and securely into the jaw bone.
• Replace a single or several teeth - Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or several teeth.
• Long term success - Implants generally do not need to be replaced and are cared for just like your natural teeth.
• Preserve jaw bone - Implants stimulate the jaw bone in the same manner as your real teeth and help prevent jaw bone loss.

Characteristics of Dentures

• Noncompatible material composition - Dentures are made with acrylic, cast metal, and plastic. These materials can irritate the gum tissue.
• Unstable - Since traditional dentures are not placed in a fixed location, they can move easily and impair chewing and speaking abilities.
• Replace several teeth - Dentures are typically a tooth replacement solution when the patient is missing several teeth.
• Require replacement - Dentures do need to be refitted and replaced as the patient gets older and as the jaw bone starts to deteriorate.
• Contribute to bone loss - Since these dental appliances sit on top of the gums, the jaw bone is not stimulated and can deteriorate over time.

Receiving a dental implant in Berkeley, CA can provide far more advantages than traditional dentures. For more information, schedule your consultation with Dr. Chertok today!
