Denture Wearer’s Options

What are Dentures

When a patient has lost real teeth, dentures are a set of artificial teeth that are constructed to replace them. Dentures will enable patients to chew their food and will provide them with the illusion of natural teeth allowing them the confidence to smile and talk.

Why Does Dr. Kamel Advise Patients to Have Dental Implants?

• Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and are usually made out of an acrylic resin (plastic). When chewing the pressure which is placed on the gums (soft tissue) and bone can after time cause the bone to disintegrate/resorb potentially increasing the risk for jaw fracture.
• It is common that your mouth may change over the life of your dentures, so they may need to be replaced before they wear out.
• With a denture a person typically chews at only 15-23% efficiency compared to a person chewing with their natural teeth.
• In the case of a full upper denture, the upper palate is covered which can reduce taste of foods you’re chewing.

It is important therefore to keep in mind: Dental Implants and not dentures are a permanent solution to tooth loss. Call us and allow Dr. Kamel to help you decide which procedure is best for you.

What are Dental Implants and why come to Dr. Kamel of Ottawa Dental Implants?

A dental implant, placed into the jaw bone when a natural tooth is lost and covered with a porcelain crown giving the appearance of real teeth, are extremely strong outlasting most other restorative procedures.

Implants are not only an option for patients who have just lost a tooth. Many people who undergo the implant procedure have removable dentures or bridges. They experience a dramatic improvement in their chewing ability and in their comfort level.
