Dr. Chris Hill offers a modern and effective solution for patients with missing teeth by providing advanced implant dentures at Smile On Dental Studio in St. Louis, MO. Implant dentures are designed to restore function and aesthetics, providing a stable and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures.
Traditional dentures can often be uncomfortable, unstable, and require frequent adjustments. They can slip or shift when eating or speaking, and over time, due to the lack of stimulation, they can contribute to bone loss in the jaw.
Dr. Chris Hill uses implant dentures to address these issues by anchoring the dentures to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This innovative approach offers several key benefits:
Implant dentures are securely anchored, eliminating the risk of slipping or shifting.
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Implant dentures are significantly more comfortable because they do not require adhesives and fit to the natural shape of the mouth.
Patients can enjoy various foods and speak more confidently without fear of denture movement.
Implant dentures not only restore functionality but also improve overall oral health and aesthetics:
They look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more youthful appearance.
Implant dentures improve long-term oral health by preserving the jawbone.
Patients experience a great improvement in eating, speaking, and enjoying life without the limitations of traditional dentures.
Dr. Hill offers various types of implant dentures to meet individual needs:
These are permanently attached to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist, providing the highest level of stability.
These snap onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning, offering a balance of stability and convenience.
Candidates for implant dentures include individuals with sufficient bone density to support the implants and looking for a long-term solution to missing teeth. A thorough assessment with Dr. Hill will determine the best treatment plan.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant dentures are anchored to dental implants in the jawbone. This provides greater stability, prevents bone loss, and offers a more natural look and feel.
The process typically involves a few stages: initial consultation and planning, placement of the implants, a healing period for the implants to integrate with the bone, and finally, attaching the custom-made dentures.
With proper care, implant dentures can last many years, often over a decade, making them a durable and cost-effective solution.
