5 things you won’t have to do with oral implants A guide from High Dental Implants

When it comes to concealing gaps in your smile, it is easy to think that the process will involve the fitting of dentures or bridges; after all, this has been the standard for nearly 100 plus years in dentistry!

But with these techniques have come problems, which have led to the development of other restorative devices. If you have ever worn a denture or a bridge, you will undoubtedly know that these appliances are prone to movement and can promote the formation of ulcers along the gumline. Yikes!

So, is there a way to conceal gaps in your grin without spending a fortune on dental glues or mouth ulcer preventatives?

At High Dental Implants in Melbourne, our focus is on one of the newer techniques which have emerged to restore the aesthetics and the functionality of your smile; the oral implant. With our expertise of these nifty titanium pegs, you will soon have your stunning former smile back, with all of the strength of your natural teeth! What more could you ask for from a restorative?

And there’s more! Here, our team at High Dental Implants in Melbourne lists 5 things you will never have to do with oral implants.

Take them out

Regular bridges and dentures are usually removable; you take them out to go to sleep and allow them to sit in a cleaning solution overnight. But this can lead to nocturnal grinding, which can create muscle stiffness and headaches, especially if you have some residual natural teeth.

When our team at High Dental Implants in Melbourne fit oral implants and the associated prosthetics, you won’t need to take them out to clean them; simply brush them as you do your regular teeth.

Buy glue for them

Oral implants are fitted into the jaw; this acts as a solid base for the prosthetic tooth or teeth to be placed on top. As the implant fuses to the jaw, it is immovable.

And so, they will be extremely stable in your mouth, without you needing to spend a penny on dental adhesives.

Find them!

Losing your dentures may seem like a bad joke in a comedy sketch, but for many people suffering from memory loss and conditions like dementia, it is no laughing matter.

As oral implants cannot be removed, they cannot be lost and so, once you have had them fitted, you will never need to look for them, as they will be in your mouth.

Worry about movement

We’ve mentioned this before but it is an important fact; dentures and certain bridges can and do move. This can cause sores, ulcers and of course and hesitancy when you are eating meals when out with friends or family. Implants are fused to your jaw when we attach the prosthetic teeth, so there should be no worries about movement.

Restrict your diet

Implants lead to you being able to eat a wider variety of foods; you can eat everything you want from nuts to corn on the cob without restriction! Perfect!
