Restore your Smile

When you need to restore your smile, dental implants or dentures are your main options. While dentures are generally less expensive, dental implants offer greater stability and additional benefits of health. With a tooth replacement method known as implant supported dentures, you no longer need to decide between dental implants or dentures. Dr. Thomas A. Bissell can secure your dentures utilizing a dental implant procedure near Chester, NJ.

What Are Implant Supported Dentures?

Implant supported dentures rely upon strategically placed dental implants to secure your dentures instead of dental adhesives. With this method, Dr. Bissell will implant three or more titanium posts into your jaw bone which will integrate with the bone over time. These posts will then be fitted with either one long, metal bar or individual metal studs, depending upon whether you select bar retained or ball retained dentures. Bar retained dentures rest on a metal bar and are fastened with clips, while the metal studs of the ball retained posts snap into corresponding sockets that have been retrofitted to your dentures.

Most Common Causes of Receding Gums

  • When dentures are supported with implants, there is less risk of the slipping and shifting that denture wearers experience with ineffective dental adhesives.
  • Dental implants have a beneficial effect on bone health. When teeth are lost, the jaw bone begins to deteriorate at the site of the missing tooth. Implants serve to stimulate the bone, stopping the degradation process and stabilizing bone density levels.
  • This technique can be used in both the upper and lower jaw. In addition, implant supported dentures are available in both removable and fixed options for those who wish to have their dentures perform more like permanent teeth through a dental implant procedure near Chester, NJ.
