9 Problems New York Denture Wearers Can Kiss Goodbye with “All On 4” Implants, PART 3

This four-part article series describes the many problems, challenges and complaints that denture wearers can look forward to living without by choosing dental implants instead.

Welcome to the third installment of this four-part article series on the many challenges, problems and discomforts New York denture wearers can kiss goodbye thanks to the work of the dental healthcare professionals who offer teeth replacement using implants. In our previous article installment – Part 2 – we examined another two fantastic benefits afforded by dental implants and they are:

(3) Forget messy adhesives and the acute physical and social discomfort caused by dentures that visible slip around in your mouth while eating and speaking.

(4) Save thousands of dollars every year on repeat expenses associated with dentures, such as adhesive strips, overnight soaking solutions and numbing gels and creams.

Let’s now take a look at one of the most important benefits of dental implants and that’s their ability to prevent premature aging…

5. Dental implants help to preserve good jawbone health.

According to New York dentists, removable dentures only replace the visible parts of your teeth; the crowns. All-on-Four implants replace the entire tooth structure, including the roots, which is why they help to maintain excellent jawbone health. The roots (or implants) transmit the eating forces into the jawbone, keeping it stimulated and preventing it from atrophying. What we therefore notice quite frequently in denture-wearers is that their jawbones waste away over time because the hard tissue in the jaw is not being “exercised” or stimulated the way it needs to be to remain healthy

The loss of bone volume in the jaw causes it to wither away and this expresses itself in the contours of the face, which become more pinched and sunken in. Basically, imagine a very old man or woman with a sunken in mouth and sagging skin around the mouth: those are the kind of facial aesthetics elderly denture-wearers get over time and they are typically a result of jawbone atrophy. All-on-4 dental implants in New York can help to prevent this kind of premature aging by keeping the jawbone stimulated and healthy, which is why they are the top recommendation of most dental healthcare professionals in New York and around the world.

6. Stop hiding your smile in family photos!

In keeping with the above-mentioned point, All-on-4 dental implants can be great for one’s self-esteem and social confidence. They help to prevent the early onset of that aged facial appearance we typically associated with elderly people and they also support teeth replacement appliances that don’t move around visibly when talking. But, New York dentists have more to say on this issue:>

“Dentures rely on their bulkiness to prevent them from moving around too much and this can cause them to push against the lips from inside the mouth. The result is a somewhat unnatural, thin-lipped and even toothy appearance that can really make denture-wearers feel uncomfortable and too shy to smile. Implants, on the other hand, provide sturdy support for a new set of teeth, which therefore can’t move around and don’t need to be bulky.>

“All-on-4 dental implants support bridges that are often far slimmer in construction, thus giving New York residents far more natural and comfortable smile aesthetics, which means greater confidence and no more tight-lipped expressions in family photos!”>

New Teeth for New York Residents: Eight Problems Denture Wearers Can Kiss Goodbye, PART 2

This four-part article series describes the many problems, challenges and complaints that denture wearers can look forward to living without by choosing dental implants instead.

Welcome to the second installment of this four-part article series on the many challenges, problems and discomforts denture wearers can kiss goodbye with the more sophisticated teeth replacement solutions offered by dental implants and the dedicated New York dentists who offer them. In our previous article installment – Part 1 – we examined the first two benefits afforded by dental implants and they are:

1. Being non-removable, you’ll never need to remove your teeth again after meals for cleaning or at nighttime.
2. You can enjoy a much greater variety of foods, because dental implants provide patients with a stronger and healthier bite.

We’ve still got another six points to discuss, so let’s get cracking!

3. Forget messy adhesives.

Having teeth that can’t be removed doesn’t only save New York residents from a much hated clean up operation after every meal, it also saves them from the actual difficulties and challenges associated with wearing teeth that have no form of real anchorage in the mouth! Being loose fitting, dentures are free to slip and move around during eating and even during conversation: quite visibly too, which can cause much insecurity and poor self-esteem.

“Denture adhesive strips have been designed to provide greater traction for dentures in the mouth, but it doesn’t stop them from moving around altogether. Additionally, these cost money and patients can find themselves spending a fair amount on this repeat expense,” says a dental implant surgeon. “Implants, on the other hand, provide fixed support for a new set of teeth, which come in the form of a custom-designed prosthetic dental bridge. They are non-removable and this eliminates many of the challenges associated with clumsy, loose dentures.”

4. Save thousands of dollars on expensive denture products.

Many New York residents who opt to have removable dentures fitted will find that there are a number of products they require to maintain their false teeth and keep their mouths comfortable. So, it’s far from a one-time expense.

As it was previously explained, adhesive strips are just one repeat expense New York residents who need new teeth may have to buy. Anesthetic creams and ointments are another and they become necessary when the gums become so sore and inflamed from the constant rubbing of the dentures against them that patients can’t eat or talk comfortably. Then there is the soaking solutions that keeps dentures hygienic overnight, cleaning implements and even the need to have dentures refitted every few years or so. “All of the associated costs add up over time and those in need of new teeth can find themselves spending thousands of dollars a year on a technology that is far inferior to dental implant supported bridges,” say dental implant dentists. “Implants support teeth replacement appliances that don’t rest or rub against the gums and so don’t typically cause discomfort. They also don’t require periodic refitting the way dentures do and are cleaned and maintained very similarly to natural teeth. As a result, patients usually find dental implants far less expensive to maintain and much more of a pleasure!”

New Teeth for New York City Residents: Eight Problems Denture Wearers Can Kiss Goodbye, PART 1

This four-part article series describes the many problems, challenges and complaints that denture wearers can look forward to living without by choosing dental implants instead.

If you’re a denture wearer, chances are you don’t need a dental implant surgeon to tell you about the various daily challenges you have to live with. You more than likely already have a good long list of all the gripes and discomforts you’d love to give the boot to, given the choice. The good news is, you do have a choice: dental implants offer New York City residents a far more sophisticated teeth replacement solution, whether you need one tooth replaced, or absolutely all of them!

In this four-part article series, we spoke to some healthcare professionals who routinely provide New York City residents with new non-removable teeth just what wearers of removable false teeth can look forward to in a denture-free future!

1.    You’ll never have to remove your teeth again.

There is nothing pleasant about removing your teeth after eating. It’s a messy affair that borders on nauseating for the more delicate of constitutions. Unfortunately, a life with removable dentures involves removing your teeth after every meal and giving them a good clean before sticking them back in your mouth again. They also need to be removed at nighttime to allow your gums a chance to breathe, which can be a terrible embarrassment for married or even dating couples. Thankfully, dental implants offer New York City residents a much better solution!

Dental implants are fixed dental appliances and cannot be removed. They can provide sturdy support for a customized dental prosthesis (fixed bridge), which looks like a complete set of healthy teeth and gums. While this can be removed by your dentist (if necessary), you don’t need to take it out after meals for cleaning or at nighttime. This saves you much trouble and inconvenience. It’s also a lot nicer for your partner who no longer has to see you without your teeth!

2.    Eat most of your favorite foods again.

Some elderly NYC residents have been wearing removable dentures for so many years that they’ve lost almost all of the strength in their jaws. Atrophication of the bone tissue has almost totally withered away the mandible, resulting in a drastic reduction in bite strength. As a result, these people can barely manage anything tougher than a ripe peach and their diets have suffered terribly as a consequence.

It may sound pretty shocking to learn that dentures can compromise your ability to eat to such an extent, but it is a reality that countless NYC residents contend with everyday. Dental implants can change all of this. Many patients who formerly wore dentures have received new teeth with dental implants and have been able to eat foods they have avoided for more than a decade!

“Patients frequently exclaim just how amazing it is to be able to eat corn off the cob, a steak or even just an apple again… to experience flavors and textures they’ve had to avoid for many, many years,” says a New York dental implant surgeon. “It’s like being rescued from a dessert island where all there is to eat is overcooked vegetables, soup and custard. Most importantly, however, dental implants can save patients from the brink of malnourishment, because having fixed teeth enable them to comfortably eat a much greater and healthier variety and quantity of food.”
