Wearing a traditional lower denture can make it difficult to eat and speak, which becomes very frustrating. Traditional dentures do not function like teeth, and the only thing keeping a traditional denture in place is gravity.
Imagine those dentures snapping on to two fixed implants. The denture no longer moves, and the patient is able to chew their food with much improvement. Implants in the mouth can be utilized in many ways to restore proper function which is imperative to long-term oral health and nutritious intake.
If you know anyone wearing a traditional denture, refer them to Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry for a consultation about denture implants!
