Lethbridge Denture Implants And You

Because dentures rest on the jawbone, they can cause the bone to erode away. Over time, people using dentures experience increasing discomfort, difficulty chewing and pain. Dr. Johnson, at Destination Dentistry, is a Lethbridge denture implant dentist who can present several dental implant options to correct these issues and give you a reason to smile.

Details to Consider

Dr. Johnson uses the same approach with every patient who walks through his door. After a careful examination, he will prescribe a treatment plan that will help you achieve your optimum dental health. Taking into account your complete dental and medical history, treatment costs, and your wants and needs, together you will decide how and when to proceed.

Mini Implants vs Full Mouth Implants

Every patient is different. For this reason, we cannot describe in a paragraph or two whether mini dental implants or full mouth implants will give you the results you are looking for. Do you want a permanent solution that cannot be removed? Or would you like to be able to take out your denture or bridge for cleaning? Do you need to replace some teeth, but not all? If you need only a partial, do you want to leave the teeth that are left intact? The answers to these questions will help us decide the best course of action.

What we can tell you is that implant dentistry has given denture dentists the power to restore beauty, function and form for denture wearers.

• Full mouth implants can be mounted permanently, and natural looking teeth can replace your porcelain denture teeth altogether. This option looks and feels more like real teeth.
• Dental bridges or partials can clip or snap onto implant posts and be removed for cleaning and maintenance.
• Or dentures can be implanted so the underside doesn't touch the gums. A small space between the denture and your gums allows for proper cleaning.

Regardless of the treatment plan chosen, you will be in good hands at Destination Dentistry.
