Mar 31, 2016 /prREACH/ -- Encinitas cosmetic dentist Dr. Gary Braunstein is helping denture patients find renewed confidence and an improved lifestyle by offering mini dental implants and permanent dentures. With mini dental implants, Dr. Braunstein can provide permanent smiles for patients with a quick and painless procedure that will last for years to come.
Statistics show that about 57 percent of Americans ages 65-74 wear some form of dentures as a result of permanent tooth loss. While dentures are effective in restoring the aesthetics of the patient’s smile along with partial function for chewing and speaking, they still leave much to be desired when compared to natural teeth. These removable dentures require adhesive pastes or strips and can easily become loose, ill fitted, or even broken. Mini dental implants like those offered by Dr. Braunstein and Encinitas Dental Care are helping denture patients experience all the benefits of a permanent smile without having to undergo major surgery.
As their name implies, mini dental implants are much smaller in diameter than traditional dental implants that are generally used to support just one tooth replacement. Because mini implants are smaller, they do not require the type of invasive surgery or recovery period that traditional dental implants require. Mini dental implants are essentially self-tapping screws that can be inserted through the gums into the jawbone without requiring an incision. Mini dental implant also have immediate load bearing capacity, which means there’s practically no recovery time required by the patient after the procedure is completed.
Patients desiring mini dental implants for fixed dentures can have the procedure completed in one office and can enjoy the use of their new smile the very same day. Dr. Braunstein uses care to place implants in their proper locations and then attaches the patient’s current or new denture units to these mini implants, which are generally configured as four along the top and bottom arches of the patient’s mouth. Within a couple hours, patients can speak and chew normally with very little discomfort that lasts only for a short while.
With fixed dentures as a result of mini dental implants, patients no longer have to hassle with loose, broken, or ill-fitted dentures. They also no longer have to deal with adhesive pastes or strips. This helps patients speak more confidently as well as chew more effectively without the worry of their denture units becoming loose.
As an experienced dental implants dentist in Encinitas, Dr. Braunstein also offers traditional implants for those who still desire a replacement for their permanent teeth but may not need full top and bottom arches. He offers consultations for all interested patients to determine which type of dental implant procedure is right for them.
