Did you know
A person who has all their teeth removed loses 40% of their bone mass in the first 2 years. Thereafter, she will lose between 1 mm and 1.2 mm of bone per year. This causes abnormal tension and relaxation of the muscles of the face and neck. Note that toothless people seem to age faster. The lips are more hollow, the nose seems longer, the chin more prominent and the wrinkles more apparent.
Solutions for life: fixed prostheses
Fixed prostheses can be used to replace all the teeth, but also sometimes to remedy the absence of one or a few teeth.
Dental implants have allowed many people to rediscover the pleasure of tasting food, smiling, speaking, practicing certain sports and even sleeping without worrying about their prostheses. The perfect stability of the prostheses, which free the gums, makes it possible to rediscover the taste of food at the same time as comfort in all circumstances of life.
By slowing down the process of sagging of the bone and muscle structure of the face, dental implants can improve the aesthetic appearance of those who suffer from the consequences of the atrophy of their jaws. Indeed, the action of implants helps to preserve and often restore facial appearance.
However, it must be repeated here that obtaining a perfect aesthetic appearance sometimes involves reconstructing the bone that initially surrounded the tooth. Each case must be assessed individually.
Will my dentures be attached to my implants or can I remove them if needed?
In the case of complete dentures. When all the teeth are lost, both possibilities are valid. Different elements will guide your choice towards one or the other of these options. Residual bone volume, aesthetics and ease of hygiene are just a few of these factors.
The fixed part is 100% supported by implants. It usually does not come into contact with the gum. It is obviously a very stable piece. The removable part is supported by both the implants and the gum.
How do I maintain my prostheses on implants?
Simply by brushing and flossing them or brushes specially designed for implants. If the prostheses are fixed, there will be small accesses to be able to clean under the prosthesis. If the prostheses are removable, the fixed part in the mouth (the implants) must be cleaned with the toothbrush, the brushes and the removable part (prostheses) with a brush and toothpaste.
Some people like to soak them in a solution made specifically for dentures, but this soaking solution does not replace brushing. You must mechanically remove all debris and biofilm (bacteria) that inevitably stick to your prostheses with the toothbrush.
If you choose to use soaking solutions make sure it is not too strong as some solutions corrode the metal parts of the prostheses.
Did you know
that a person with his teeth applies a force of 200 pounds per square inch when he crunches? A toothless person with 2 complete dentures applies a force of 5 to 9 pounds per square inch.
According to a study carried out by nutritionists, a toothless person will have more health problems because chewing and digestion are affected by the absence of teeth.
