Upper Denture Implants: A Long-Term Alternative for Denture Wearers
If you are struggling with traditional dentures, you may fear there isn’t a comfortable alternative to replace your missing upper teeth. However, upper denture implants are an excellent way to replace conventional upper dentures that eliminate many complaints of denture wearers. Upper denture implants offer a more natural feel without obstructing the palate and do not interfere with eating or speaking.
Potential Problems with Upper Dentures
While effective for many, traditional dentures can present challenges that affect daily comfort and function. Because the roof of the mouth (palate) is obstructed by the acrylic material of the denture, taste sensation is limited, and the denture can be uncomfortable. Dentures are also prone to slipping and shifting, making eating and speaking clearly tricky at the most inconvenient times.
Solutions with Upper Denture Implants
Upper denture implants offer solutions to many of the problems of conventional upper dentures. You can enjoy a more stable and natural-feeling restoration by securely anchoring the denture to dental implants surgically placed in the upper arch. Because the denture attached to the implants is thinner, lighter, and does not cover the roof of the mouth, you can more fully taste food and feel its temperature and texture.
Upper denture implants also provide stability that traditional dentures can’t match. With the implants acting as artificial tooth roots, the denture remains firmly in place during eating and speaking, eliminating the fear of slipping or shifting. You can enjoy your favorite foods without worry and engage in social activities without self-consciousness.
Upper Denture Implant Options
If you aren’t sure you are ready for permanent dental implants, removable, implant-supported dentures are the ideal compromise. Fixed dental implants can only be removed by a dental professional. Implant-supported dentures snap or clip onto bars or balls attached to the implants in the jawbone. They can be removed for cleaning but are held securely in place when wearing so they do not irritate the gums, slip, or shift.
In cases where bone loss in the upper jaw has occurred, additional procedures such as a sinus lift may be needed to create a suitable foundation for dental implants. During sinus lift surgery, we add bone graft material to increase bone density in the sinus area in the upper jaw. While this procedure takes additional time, it ensures long-term success and durability for your upper denture implants.
Upper denture implants are an alternative to conventional upper dentures that can improve many facets of your daily life. You can eat better, smile confidently, and stop worrying about when and where your dentures might suddenly shift or fall out. And your mouth will appreciate the comfortable, discreet fit.
If you’re ready to toss your dentures in the trash and give up on having a beautiful, healthy smile, consider upper dental implants. You will be amazed at how much better they look, feel, and function.
