Traditional dentures have long been a reliable way to restore missing teeth and bring back your smile. They are widely used, affordable, and can make a big difference in your everyday life! However, attaching dentures to dental implants<\/a> can offer a whole new range of benefits.

Downsides of Traditional Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Standard dentures do a great job of restoring your smile. There is no doubt about that, but they can have a few annoyances. They rely on suction, creating a vacuum-like seal that provides a stable fit over your gums. The fit may start snug, but as your mouth naturally changes over time, it can become looser. There may even be some instances where your dentures accidentally slip out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another issue is that you may experience some jawbone loss. The roots of your teeth naturally stimulate your jawbone, promoting circulation to it. When a tooth is lost, the lack of stimulation causes your jawbone to shrink so your body can use those minerals elsewhere. This can lead to your dentures losing their fit, but it can also make you look older than you actually are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
