Do you ever feel your dentures cause more trouble than they’re worth? While these dentures replace missing teeth, they often come with a whole set of frustrations. Maybe you’ve noticed that your dentures tend to slip at the worst possible moments—whether enjoying a meal, having a conversation, or even just sharing a laugh. It’s not just embarrassing; it’s uncomfortable, too. But that’s not the only problem. When dentures don’t fit right, they can leave little pockets between the denture and your gums. These tiny spaces can trap food and bacteria, making it tough to keep things clean. And when bacteria have a chance to build up, it can lead to issues like bad breath, infections, and gum disease. If you’re tired of dealing with loose dentures and all the problems that come with them, there’s a better option out there—snap-in dentures.
Snap-in dentures stay put, giving you a secure fit that lets you enjoy your meals, conversations, and laughter without worry. They are a simpler, more reliable alternative that could be just what you need.
Loose Dentures Explained
Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get used to traditional dentures, only to find that just when you’re finally comfortable with them, they start to become loose and uncomfortable all over again? It’s frustrating, right? Just when you think you’ve adjusted, the fit starts to change, and the cycle of discomfort begins all over again. But why does this happen?
Dentures often become loose over time because of a process called bone resorption. When you lose natural teeth, the jawbone that once held them in place begins to shrink. Normally, the roots of your teeth provide essential stimulation to the jawbone during everyday actions like chewing and biting. This stimulation helps maintain the bone’s density and volume. But when teeth are no longer there, that stimulation stops, and the body starts to break down and absorb the bone tissue since it’s no longer needed.
As the jawbone gradually shrinks, it can lose both height and width, altering the shape of your face. These changes can cause your dentures to fit poorly, leading to discomfort and a sunken appearance in your facial features. This natural process of bone resorption is a major reason dentures can become loose and uncomfortable over time.
How Do Snap-In Dentures Work?
Many of the problems with conventional dentures arise from a basic design flaw. Traditional dentures are removable and simply sit on your gums, relying on suction or adhesives to stay in place. Because of this, they often shift around, causing discomfort. This instability can be frustrating, making everyday activities like eating and speaking challenging.
Snap-in, also known as snap-on or implant dentures, offers a much better alternative. Instead of resting on your gums, Dr. Bashi securely anchors the dentures to dental implants. Dental implants work just like the roots of natural teeth, giving your dentures a stable and secure foundation. Dr. Bashi carefully places these small titanium implants into your jawbone, where they begin to bond with the surrounding bone. This bonding process, known as osseointegration, is when your jawbone naturally grows around the implant, locking it firmly in place.
Mini Dental Implants: The Foundation for Your Snap-In Dentures
If you’re considering upgrading your current dentures or dealing with tooth loss, you’ve likely noticed some bone loss. It’s a common issue that can influence your options for dental implants. Traditional dental implants are a reliable solution, but they often require additional procedures if significant bone loss has occurred. In such cases, a bone graft might be necessary to rebuild the jawbone and create a stable foundation for the implants. This procedure involves transplanting bone tissue to the area where it’s needed, which then takes several months to integrate and heal before the implants can be placed.
However, there’s an alternative to traditional implants that could simplify the process—mini dental implants. While traditional implants are about 5 millimeters wide, mini implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter, making them nearly half the size. Dr. Bashi can place mini dental implants more easily because of their smaller size, which also helps the healing process move along faster. This efficiency and quick recovery make them an ideal choice, particularly for those who have experienced bone loss and want a less invasive option.
