That means where there was once only one way to restore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodspringsfamilydentistry.com\/full-and-partial-dentures.html\">missing teeth<\/a>, there are now other options. The luxury of having more alternatives is that patients are able to use what is the most effective for their particular situations. As you read on, you\u2019ll learn how dentures in Jonesboro and dental implants can be used to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How the Denture Method Works<\/h2>\n<p>The most common way to restore missing teeth is with prosthetics. They provide a non-invasive, lower cost way to regain lost function and help patients smile with confidence. Using the Master Denture method, your dentist is able to develop prosthetics that fit securely and are visually appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the standards used that make for a quality set of dentures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4 Appointments <\/strong>\u2013 Patients attend a total of 4 appointments which allow the dentist to take accurate measurements and create wax models. They will be assessed before the final version is chosen as the permanent set of dentures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality Materials <\/strong>\u2013 Along with the tedious process of choosing the right prosthetics, patients benefit from the high-quality materials used in their formation. Incorporating the best acrylic and ceramic materials mean that the dentures will require less adjustments in the future and that patients are able to enjoy their new smile longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, this is a safe route to take for patients who have suffered severe bone loss due to the absence of their teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Dental Implant Process Works<\/h2>\n<p>For patients who have enough healthy bone mass, the dental implant method offers a way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodspringsfamilydentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">restore<\/a> the stability and support that natural teeth roots provide. The surgical procedure involves affixing a titanium post to the underlying jawbone and later an abutment (connector) that allows a crown, bridge or implant-retained dentures to attach to the implant.<\/p>\n<p>The dental implant process offers the following benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jawbone Support <\/strong>\u2013 The dental implant stimulates new bone growth by providing a healthy amount of tension to the jawbone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restored Function <\/strong>\u2013 By affixing to the underlying bone and allowing for the secure attachment of a crown, bridge or prosthetic, dental implants provide patients with a way to once again eat a full array of foods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Natural-Looking Smile <\/strong>\u2013 Another benefit of working from the jawbone up is that dental implants recreate the patient\u2019s natural smile by forming a firm foundation for the final restoration to attach to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prevents Premature Aging <\/strong>\u2013 Finally, the support from dental implants prevents facial collapse. Thus, patients won\u2019t suffer from premature aging and wrinkling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Which Option is Best for You?<\/h2>\n<p>The final decision on which procedure to go with comes down to the results of your consultation with your dentist. Your oral cavity will be carefully assessed to determine whether dentures or dental implants in Jonesboro is the best option for you.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few factors that are taken into account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost<\/li>\n<li>Insurance Coverage<\/li>\n<li>Condition of Oral Health<\/li>\n<li>Condition of Overall Health<\/li>\n<li>Amount of Healthy Bone Mass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of the above will be explained when you visit your dentist for the initial assessment. From there, you can make an educated decision about which path to take.<\/p>\n<p>The road to smile perfection and restored function is just an appointment away!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sarah Yarnell earned her dental degree from the University of Tennessee.
