What Are the Benefits of Fixed Dentures?

If you’re looking for a hassle-free solution to fill gaps in your smile, you’ve come to the right place. Great Lakes Dentures and Implants is pleased to offer dental implants, the next best thing to having healthy, natural teeth. Whether you’re missing one, some, or all your teeth, we have the ideal solution for you!

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small, screw-shaped posts, usually made of titanium, that mimic the function of natural tooth roots. They provide an incredibly stable and secure foundation for replacement teeth meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth. At Great Lakes Dentures and Implants, we offer a range of implant restoration options, including the following:

  • Single-Tooth Implants: If you’re missing a tooth, a dental crown placed on an implant will restore your smile’s health and function. Single-tooth implants deliver beautiful, seamless smiles. 
  • Implant-Supported Bridge: Implant-supported bridges are designed to replace two or more adjacent teeth. They rely on dental implants for support, providing superior comfort, stability, and durability. 
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: These removable restorations snap onto a number of dental implants, restoring your smile’s function and natural appearance. Implant-supported dentures offer an incredibly stable alternative to traditional dentures. 
  • All-on-4s: All-on-4s are fixed implant restorations that offer a superior tooth replacement option. They rely on as few as four implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth, delivering results second only to natural, healthy teeth. 

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Here’s a look at some of the benefits of dental implants: 

  • Dental implants are the only restorations that act like natural tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing bone loss. 
  • Dental implants support your facial structure, preventing a sunken appearance and restoring your youthful, confident smile. 
  • Dental implants are anchored to your jawbone, providing stability and function comparable to your natural teeth. 
  • Dental implants restore your ability to chew your favorite foods and help you speak clearly and confidently once again. 
  • Dental implants prevent any remaining teeth from shifting out of place, preventing the complications that result from tooth loss, such as tooth decay, gum disease, misaligned teeth, and TMJ pain. 
  • Dental implants provide a predictable solution to replace missing teeth, with an incredibly high success rate of more than 95 percent.
  • With proper care, your implant restorations can last a lifetime!

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

To qualify for dental implants, you must have good oral and overall health, be free of periodontal disease, and be willing to commit to excellent oral hygiene practices. Most implant restorations require adequate bone density in the jawbone to ensure their success. If you have bone loss, Dr. McGuire may recommend bone grafting to rebuild the bone in the area, allowing you to enjoy the many benefits of implant dentistry.
