How Supporting Bridges And Dentures With Implants Protects You

You may feel well aware of the fact that when you decide you’re going to support a full denture, partial denture, or bridge with dental implants, what you can look forward to is some serious stability. This is exciting! However, you also know that you’ll be just fine if you decide on traditional support, so you begin asking yourself if there are any additional reasons to go the implant route. Something you might not have recognized just yet is that implant support can actually help protect you! Not sure what we mean by this? Learn more from our Conroe, TX team!

Implant Support Helps You Look Younger

No, choosing dental implants to support your denture or bridge isn’t going to immediately make you look younger when compared with traditional support. However, over time it can certainly help you maintain your youthful appearance. Remember that implants are going to protect your jaw tissue, so it does not deteriorate as a result of tooth loss. The same cannot be said of moving ahead without implants. So, when you select implant dentures or implant bridges, your jaw will remain full, which in turn promotes full facial volume and support!

Implant Support Prevents Rubbing, Sores, Infection, Etc.

Visualize a denture and the way it fits over your dental ridge, gaining suction-based support from your mouth. A denture that fits very well will usually not cause much rubbing. However, there’s some amount of wiggling that can happen. A denture can become damaged or older and can rub against your tissue. It can cause sores, infection, and more. Dentures that have support from dental implants won’t move or rub (or cause problems).

Implant Support Lets You Avoid Tooth Damage

Think about the way a partial denture stays in place. It has a metal clasp that rests around a tooth. There’s the support it gains from your gum tissue. Now, think about the way bridges work: They are bonded directly to your teeth. You can end up with some amount of wear and tear from this, assuming you have teeth in good enough health to offer support! When you choose dental implant support instead, teeth remain untouched and no damage can occur as a result.
