Can Implants Replace My Dentures?

Dental dentures can greatly benefit from implants. Implants can act as retainers for conventional dentures, or even replace the removable dentures with a fixed prosthesis that no longer needs to be inserted into or removed from the mouth. Ask your dentist or Dr. Shwetha about which treatment option best suits your needs.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most people with missing teeth or teeth that are soon to be lost are good candidates. If you don't have uncontrolled systemic diseases then you probably are a good candidate, even if you have complete or partial dentures. In some instances, the quality or quantity of bone is insufficient for straight forward implant placement, and further bone augmentation procedures are necessary. Ask your dentist or Dr. Shwetha about how dental implants can serve you.

How do I take care of my implants?

Contrary to common belief, implants can still develop a disease similar to periodontitis. Bacterial plaque can cause an infection around dental implants called peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis causes continued bone loss around the implant, which may eventually lead to loss of the implant. The need for proper oral hygiene, along with follow up with your dentist and periodontist, are essential to evaluate the health and stability of dental implants. Peri-implantitis, although not common, should be diagnosed and immediately addressed, whether surgically or non-surgically, to allow maintenance of the implant and bone.
