Have you lost your teeth, and conventional dentures aren’t an option? Welcome to Lone Star Smiles for implant-retained dentures – a modern approach to replacing your smile after extensive tooth loss. Implant dentures in Lubbock, Texas, improve your oral function remarkably, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and speak naturally.

How implant-retained dentures replace missing teeth

Conventional dentures are usually the go-to dental solution for widespread tooth loss. These tooth replacements consist of artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base to create a natural-looking appearance. Conventional dentures are secured by adhesives and suction, which results in poorly fitting restorations when smiling, eating, and talking.  

Say goodbye to poorly fitting dentures. Implant dentures present a solid, functional restoration. This option uses as few as 4-6 implants per jaw to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Instead of a gum-colored base, implant-retained dentures are secured with titanium posts anchored strategically in the mouth.

Benefits of implant-retained dentures

Implant dentures are more solid than conventional dentures, preventing problems like slippage, irritation, or annoying sounds when using your teeth. This way, you can eat, smile, and talk without worrying about your teeth.

The other benefits of implant dentures include:

• Prevent bone loss: Dental implants stimulate your jawbone like natural teeth to halt bone loss and encourage regeneration in the area placed.
• Natural appearance: Implant dentures are designed to look like natural teeth to create a life-looking appearance.
• Easy maintenance: Implant dentures are brushed and flossed like natural teeth. You don’t have to learn new teeth-cleaning techniques. 
• Durable solution: With proper dental care, implant dentures can last many years before you replace them. In fact, dental implants are designed to last for life. Once the implants fuse with the jawbone, they become part of your dentition. The only part of your restoration that requires replacement after 15 years or so is the denture restoration. 

The unique design of implant-retained dentures mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth. Patients no longer have to worry about unnatural-looking dental restorations, messy adhesives, or embarrassing slippage.
