Denture Implants
Denture implants are becoming more popular for people, who are looking to get back that beautiful smile. Modern day technology has advanced tremendously in the field of dentistry. One area of advancement is in the types of dentures you chose. We no longer have to adhere to the traditional sets. Dental implants have aided in augmenting the efficiency of dentures by giving the patient long lasting results and fewer problems. Denture implants are semi-affixed to the jawbone serving the same purpose as your permanent teeth once did. They can be easily removed for cleaning. Currently, implants for dentures are primarily made out of pure titanium, but that was not always the case.
The first dental implants date back to over 2000 years ago, but have only become a more viable option in approximately the last 35 years. The Ancient Egyptians used tooth shaped shells and ivory as a substitute for missing teeth. Other cultures, such as the Etruscan and Mayan also tested a variety of rudimentary materials during early attempts. As time moved on, cultures began to use gold, porcelain, silver, and lead as the primary metals in dentistry. By 1964 pure titanium became the metal of choice for all implants and the most durable for the support of dentures.
Today, oral implantology has advanced to a degree that no one but you will be able to tell that you are even wearing dentures. The popularity of implants has increased, because of longer life spans, affordability, and people’s desire to maintain a youthful and healthy appearance. When having this procedure or any dental work done it is essential to seek the services of a dentist you feel confident about. The caring professionals at Medical Dental Center Group not only offer some of the best dental services but also take the time to discuss your oral health.
Our experts are well educated in the innovative field of dentistry, and how new technology can change the course of denture wear. One of the primary advances is the utilization of Tivalloy, an alloy of titanium. Tivalloy is comprised out of ninety percent titanium, six percent aluminum, and four percent vanadium. Tivalloy offers your permanent dentures great support and is long lasting. It has a combination of properties such as low specific weight, superior corrosion resistance, low elasticity, and high potency to weight ratio.
Many people ask, how we go about placing prosthetics in the oral cavity, which will be used to support your dentures. Tivalloy implants are integrated into the jawbone serving as an anchor for your new implant dentures. The new set is secured to the dental implants, which will allow your new oral prosthetics to serve the same function as permanent teeth. After the procedure is over your jaw line should return to its former state. Our caring professionals will schedule follow-up visits over the next three to four months, which include cleaning and further advice on maintenance.
Our dental implant procedure is extremely safe and very effective. This procedure will give your dentures a solid base and a much higher comfort level without sacrificing the quality of your existing teeth. Removable oral prosthetics can cause a variety of problems in some patients, such as bone loss and gum recession. These problems can hamper that radiant smile from resurfacing and create pain as well as discomfort.
Medical Center Dental Group’s implant procedure allows the patient to talk and laugh without feeling self-conscious or having the fear of their oral prosthetic slipping out of place. This allows our patients to have a higher self-esteem, which leads to increased self-confidence and a more entertaining social life. Why hang on to those uncomfortable removable dentures, when you can have permanent sets installed by Medical Center Dental Group? Come regain that old smile and check out our implant procedure, which has been changing the lives of people everyday.
