Dentures v/s Dental Implants: Know The Difference

Some people think that losing one or two teeth is not going to cause any problem in their life. According to the experts at Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd, missing teeth not just affect your appearance but also lead to jaw bone deterioration and misaligned teeth and jaw. Thankfully, modern dental science offers ways to treat missing teeth that include dental dentures and dental implants. Both are used to replace your lost or missing teeth. If you are considering tooth replacement, here’s what you need to know about them.

 

 Dentures vs. Dental Implants

Dentures are detachable replacement for lost teeth that are made with metal or acrylic material. Dentures can be partial or complete. Complete dentures are used to replace the entire natural teeth, whereas, partial dentures are used to fill up the spaces of missing teeth.

Dental implants on the other hand are used as replacement for the tooth roots. Made of titanium, they provide strong foundation for removable or fixed teeth. While dentures provide temporary solution for missing teeth problems, best dental implants provide a permanent solution to missing or lost teeth.

Which one is better-dentures or dental implants?

Although, improved varieties of dentures are available today, they are not yet ideal for everybody. They may slip out while speaking or eating which can be very uncomfortable. Also, they do not provide stimulation to the jawbone, leading to deterioration in jawbone quality.

Dental implants provide a long lasting solution to the patients with missing teeth. They improve not only your appearance but also your oral health, speech, comfort and self-esteem. They function just like your normal teeth by providing stimulation to your jawbone, thus preventing jawbone loss.

Dental implants are by far the best methods of missing tooth/teeth replacement.

Reasons Why Not To Ignore Missing Teeth

If you are one of the people with missing teeth, then it is important for you to know that it is going to affect more than just your looks. In this informative post by Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd-the centre for the best dental implants and other services, we will read why ignoring missing teeth for long time can be bad for you.

Affects your health

If you have lost enough teeth, simple things like chewing and speaking would become difficult, in particular eating healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which frequently results in nutritional deficiency.

Loss of jaw bone

A very serious issue that results from tooth/teeth loss is jaw bone deterioration. It is a hidden consequence of tooth loss because the patient may not actually see or feel this issue right away. Our bone is actually a living tissue that needs constant stimulation to maintain its form and density, in the absence of teeth the bone in the jaw that surrounded and supported that tooth melts away. The longer missing teeth remains untreated, the greater the loss of bone. While, dental dentures can help you achieve normal looks and enable you to eat and speak, they don’t help prevent bone loss. So, in order to achieve healthy smile, talk to the experts at Ridgetop Dental International about dental implants, which prevent bone less and give you a beautiful smile.

Face structure gets affected

As the jaw-bone deteriorates, it can affect the structure of your face, resulting in a collapsed and aged look. If you ignore missing teeth for a long time, this process will continue, and you risk losing much of the structural support of your cheeks and lips.

Dental implants: treatment recommended by dental experts

Dental implant is a new age teeth replacement option that look, feel and function like your natural teeth. These are made of titanium, a non reactive metal that has the unique ability to fuse with your living bone. The implants, once fused permanently, continue to provide stimulation to your bone, preventing further bone loss.

With a success rate of more than 95%, implants are the best permanent solution for tooth replacement.

What are temporomandibular joint disorders?

Temporomandibular joint disorders are problems that affect the jaw joint. The jaw joint is also known as temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It allows movement between the jawbone (mandible) and the skull. There are various medical terms for this condition - for example, TMJ dysfunction, TMJ pain and myofascial pain disorder.

Symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders

·         Pain in the joint area or nearby areas, like in front of the ear, cheeks and temple

·         Reduced jaw movement, general tightness in the area and the sensation of jaw getting stuck

·         Clicking sounds coming from the jaw when a person chews something or moves his mouth

·         Dizziness

Causes of temporomandibular joint

There are usually a number of factors contributing to the cause. These factors can be either linked to the muscles working the joint or the problems inside the joint itself. The muscle problems are the most common type, particularly for younger people.

Problems with the muscles may be caused by overactivity of the jaw muscles, which can occur if you clench your jaw a lot during sleep, which is quite common. Stress may also trigger jaw muscle pain.

Problems in the joint may be caused by wear and tear to the inside of the joint, certain types of arthritis, injury to temporomandibular joint.

How is TMJ treated?

In many cases, no tests are necessary if you are healthy and have symptoms that are typical of a TMJ disorder. Possible treatment options according to Ridgetop Dental International’s best dental surgeons in Bangalore are:

Joint pain can be alleviated with simple treatments such as painkillers and advice on how to rest the joint. You can rest the joint by eating soft food and not using chewing gum. Avoid opening your mouth very wide. Massaging the muscles and hot fomentation helps. Also, avoid stress because stress makes pain worse. Splints, bite guards or braces for teeth are sometimes suggested.
