What Are The Benefits of Dental Implant Dentures? How Can They Help You With Loose Dentures?
Compared to what dentistry could achieve decades ago in Dublin, having missing teeth and coping with dentures is no longer a problem because advanced dental solutions like denture implants can help you get your teeth back.
The main idea behind this procedure is to insert metal screws and frames into the space where there used to be teeth, therefore securing the dentures.
However, there are several options available to you when it comes to denture implants – otherwise referred to as full mouth implant retained denture.
What are the benefits of denture implants?
Without many struggles, you should probably be able to guess some good things about denture implants. There are, however, some amazing benefits locked up in having denture implants you may not be aware of:
1 – It preserves jaw bone and helps improve appearance.
This is one of the big benefits of denture implants as they help you prevent further deterioration in your jaw bone. This will not only help your mouth stay healthy but also has a great impact on your facial appearance and facial contours.
If you have many teeth missing or damaged, you will lose bone due to no stimulation for bone growth. The reason for this is because your body too can sense if your jawbone has no need to support teeth, so it will start pulling tissues from the mouth to be used somewhere else.
Even missing just a single tooth without replacement can lead to a deformed chin, lips and even saggy skin
2 – It gives an extra boost to self-esteem.
Having a denture implant will not only make you look better, give you a healthier jawbone and mouth but will also make you feel better physically and mentally. You will definitely be feeling more confident about yourself and thus giving you more self-esteem and a more enjoyable life.
3 – It gives you a better quality of life
When you get replacement teeth, it comes with more confidence, comfort, and overall better quality of life. Having teeth in your mouth allows you the ability to speak easier, eating/chewing will not be a problem and your smile will not need to hide behind your hand.
Many people are considering denture implants today because of its exceptional benefits. With implant retained dentures, you wouldn’t have to worry about messy adhesives or ugly clasps.
What are the types of denture implants?
After making up your mind and committing to go with denture implants, there are two main types you can choose from. You can either go for The removable implant denture or fixed implant retained denture. Both of these types can either be offered in partial or full dentures types.
How much do denture implants cost?
I’m sure the next big question on your mind now is probably the cost of denture implants. On a general note, the fewer implants you need, the cheaper the 
overall cost usually.
And that also comes with less stability in the dentures. So it’s important you speak with your dentist so that you can both find a perfect balance between affordability and quality.
Denture implants usually have a long life span – usually for your entire life which makes it a good investment for your money than other options.
