Receive More Stable Dentures
You may currently have a set of full dentures, or you may need to replace an entire row of teeth. You may want an option that is more stable than dentures but are not ready for the surgery required for dental implants. If so, call 610-200-9200 for an appointment with our dentists to learn more about implant-supported dentures in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. Dr. Dhaval Shah, Dr. Riya Sabu, or Dr. Saloni Mansuri may suggest this treatment as a compromise between dentures and implants, and you can learn more during your visit to Drexel Hill Smiles.
If you have most or all of your teeth missing in a row, also known as a dental arch, you may already be familiar with some of your replacement options, such as dentures. Dentures have been used for many years to replace a full arch of teeth, but they can be inconvenient and can become loose or displaced while you eat. Without replacement, that many missing teeth can have a large affect on your appearance, and you may begin to look older than you really are because of a sunken look to your face. Aside from aesthetics, a missing arch of teeth can also make it harder for you to eat or speak clearly.
A solution to the denture dilemma may come in the form of dental implants. While the amount of surgery required to replace each individual tooth in an arch can be daunting and expensive, our dentists can offer a cheaper, less invasive option in the form of implant-supported dentures. Instead of a full arch, our team will place four or six dental implants in your jaw. After a healing period, these titanium posts will then anchor a denture or dentures into place. Our team will work with you to make sure your new dentures fit comfortably in your mouth. If you already use dentures, we may even be able to retrofit your appliance to fit over your dental implants so you can enjoy a full and stable smile once again.
