Maybe your dentures aren\u2019t working for you, or you\u2019re wanting a more permanent solution for tooth replacement. Whatever your reason, the transition from dentures to dental implants doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. Here\u2019s what you can expect when you make the switch from dentures to implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should I Transition from Dentures to Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people find that switching from dentures to dental implants improves their quality of life. While everyone\u2019s situation is unique, here are some of the main reasons you may want to make the transition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Unlike dentures, dental implants don\u2019t slip around in your mouth. This eliminates bothersome \u201cclicking\u201d sounds<\/li><li>Implants don\u2019t press on your gums or trap food against them like dentures<\/li><li>Your implants don\u2019t require special care and can be treated like natural teeth. That means no more annoying adhesive or soaking<\/li><li>Dental Implants look like real teeth and can give you a more natural smile<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Transition: What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering making the switch, there are a few things you should consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bone Grafting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people may require a bone graft before they get dental implants. They can be necessary in instances where there isn\u2019t enough bone in the jaw for the implants to be placed. The graft adds volume to areas where bone loss may have occurred, restoring volume and density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bone graft works by acting as scaffolding, allowing bone tissue to regenerate and the area to heal. Your dentist will examine your mouth and determine if a graft may be necessary before you receive dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Dentures with Implants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people are curious if it\u2019s possible to use dentures with dental implants. This is sometimes a possibility, and your dentist may recommend this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant dentures can either be permanent or removable. Permanent dentures are attached to the implants and aren\u2019t meant to be removed like regular dentures. Your dentist will only move the dentures if they need to be replaced. Removable dentures can be detached and cleaned. Sometimes, older dentures can be adjusted so they can attach to implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be a candidate for implant dentures if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You don\u2019t use tobacco or smoke<\/li><li>You don\u2019t have gum disease<\/li><li>You have a strong jawbone<\/li><li>You have lost several or all of your teeth<\/li><li>You are in good health and don\u2019t have any pre-existing conditions that affect your body\u2019s healing process<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the switch from dentures to dental implants can be life changing. If you\u2019re considering the transition, talk with your dentist to determine if you\u2019re a good candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Pazmino developed his passion for dentistry from his parents\u2014his mother was a <a>dentist<\/a> and his father was a dental technician.&nbsp; After earning <a>Bachelor degrees in Biology<\/a> and Psychology from Rutgers University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology, he went on to receive his DDS from New York University.
