Still, just being fitted with traditional dentures leaves much more to be desired, but is there a better option? Your local dentist weighs in to inform you of the benefits of dental implants in Bellingham to support your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/dental-implants.html\">dentures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Traditional Dentures Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of prosthetics is to replace your missing teeth with custom-made porcelain digits that are affixed to a base made from a resin compound. Your dentures then rest on your gums and help to restore the functions that you\u2019ve had to miss out on. This serves as a start in your quest to be fully restored, but there still remains much to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some of the Issues with Traditional Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some limitations to prosthetics, which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Limited Jawbone Support <\/strong>\u2013 Although dentures provide some support for your facial structure, it\u2019s not much. That\u2019s because they sit on your gums and don\u2019t provide support at the root level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inability to Fully Taste Food <\/strong>\u2013 Because traditional prosthetics cover a portion of your palate, you won\u2019t be able to fully enjoy the flavors of the foods you eat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slippage <\/strong>\u2013 Another issue with just resting on your gums is that dentures require an adhesive to hold them in place. What happens, then, if the bonding agent fails? Your dentures will slip or either fall out your mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Less Natural Look <\/strong>\u2013 Because normal prosthetics don\u2019t attach to your underlying jawbone, they can\u2019t fully recreate the look of your natural smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Better Option?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the above issues can be addressed by having dental implants placed as supports for your dentures. These are surgically inserted titanium posts that are attached to your underlying jawbone and replace your missing teeth roots. This feature, alone, places implant-supported dentures in a class of their own. After they\u2019re placed, the posts will fuse with your existing bone structure to form a more natural and sturdy foundation for your teeth to rest on. The dentures, then, are fastened to the posts to ensure a secure fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With implant-supported dentures, no longer will you have to live in fear of what people will think about your appearance, and you\u2019ll enjoy the full restoration of all the functions you once had. To learn more about the process, reach out to your dentist in Bellingham to schedule a consultation today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients at Young Dental Advanced Dental Arts benefit from two dentists and an anesthesiologist who are passionate about improving people\u2019s lives by enhancing their oral health. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-young.html\">Dr. Young<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-montileaux.html\">Dr. Montileaux<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-pfeiffer.html\">Dr. Pfeiffer<\/a> collaborate to offer a comprehensive menu of services, including cosmetic procedures, to meet your family\u2019s unique needs under one roof.
