Hello, today I’d like to talk about dentures.

What should you do if your dentures become uncomfortable or if you start experiencing a second periodontal disease caused by dentures? In such cases, cleaning and caring for the dentures alone may not be enough to solve the problem.

Things to be careful about when using dentures

One of the most common discomforts people experience while using dentures is that “the dentures are loose.”

If dentures rattle, you may feel pain while chewing, which makes eating difficult. In addition, loose dentures can be uncomfortable and may allow food to get between the dentures, leading to a second periodontal disease.

Also, when dentures are used for a long time, sores may develop on the gums where the dentures rest, and inflammation may occur. These problems can happen as the dentures continue to press against the gums.

Because the gums and dentures inevitably come into contact when wearing dentures, an alternative is needed in such cases as well.

Implants - An Alternative to Dentures

One of the most effective alternatives in this situation is an “implant.” An implant is an artificial tooth, and it is a dental procedure in which the implant is placed directly into the area where a tooth is needed. This procedure does not affect neighboring teeth and does not require additional devices on the gums.

Implants have an appearance that is very similar to real teeth, so they do not stand out even when used for front teeth. In addition, their chewing force is also almost the same as that of real teeth, so you will not have much difficulty chewing and eating food.

Advice from a Specialist

Although implant procedures have many advantages, they may not be safe in certain situations, such as insufficient jawbone or chronic illness. Therefore, if you are considering an implant procedure, it is important to consult a specialist.

Also, even after implant surgery, you should pay attention to dental hygiene. With consistent oral hygiene care and regular dental checkups, you can keep your teeth healthy for a long time.

If you use dentures, it would be good to consider not only denture care but also alternatives such as implants. For the health of your teeth, please always make careful decisions.
