Are Your Dentures Making You Miserable? Learn more about implant supported dentures

Your dentures are uncomfortable.

They just float around on your gum tissue.

Unfortunately, denture adhesives quite often don’t work as well as their commercials claim.

Your mouth is literally crippled because you can’t eat!

Dr. Korenman of Loveable Smiles in Richardson explains that the mouth really isn’t built to support dentures.

However, there is hope.

Dr. Korenman can support those dentures with implants to give them something solid to hold onto and they simply snap into place.

Dental implants supporting your dentures won’t pinch your gums or slip around.

How many implants does it take to support dentures?

Bone is what holds the implant in place.

If someone has enough jaw structure to support multiple implants, we can utilize 4 – 6 implants.

Some patients have lost more of their jaw bone structure due to gum disease.

The good news is that quite often even if we can use only two implants, that is enough to anchor the denture to give patients a huge improvement in life.

Benefits of Implants Supported Dentures

With enough implant support we can frequently make dentures that do not require a palate so you get your taste back!

Additionally, you’ll be able to feel hot and cold drinks again.

Dental Implants are the best thing to happen in dentistry!

Simply stated, dental implants reconnect people with what they’ve lost. Youth. Self-esteem. Confidence. Function. Happiness. The joy of kissing!

Dr. Korenman is an experienced dental implant specialist. We use the most updated form of technology with a dental cat scan which will tell us if there is enough bone for long-term function and stability, the location of nerves and sinuses and helps determine if implants can be safely placed.

Misconception #3: Implants are frequently rejected by the patient’s body!

Dental Implants are the most predictable dental procedure with a 95% – 98% success rate. Because implants are made of completely biologically compatible ‘bone-friendly’ titanium material, they naturally heal and integrate with the surrounding tissues. Rejection does not occur with dental implants.

Misconception #4: Any dentist can perform dental implant surgery!

This is simply untrue. Only 12% of general dentists in the US place implants. 5% of those use the most updated form of technology. Dr. Korenman is one of these top dentists. Dr. Korenman’s more than 30 years of experience combined with his advanced training in implant and cosmetic dentistry are important factors in his ability to produce optimal results.

The updated technology Dr. Korenman uses is 3D x-rays (dental CAT scan) to get more data for safer and more predictable results for our patients. Dr. Korenman is able explain your situation and the steps needed to help you achieve dental implant success.

The Dangerous Domino Effect of Missing Teeth

A missing tooth has a dangerous domino effect in your mouth.
When natural teeth are lost the damage goes well below the surface of the gums.
• The bone that once supported and surrounded those roots starts to deteriorate painlessly.
• Your other teeth start to shift.
• If you are missing a bottom tooth, the top tooth that chews on it is going to drift down.
• The teeth on either side of a missing tooth will slowly start to lean into that gap.
• When teeth don’t line up right, they don’t have the proper stress distributions, so they are getting overworked and over-stressed.

The bad news is that you don’t feel this domino effect. Unfortunately, over time this misalignment can make it difficult to keep your teeth clean which can contribute to cavities and gum disease as well as breakdown due to the stress imbalances.
Imagine a brick archway.
If you take a brick out of an archway and come back in a year, you won’t be able to put that brick back in its place because everything has settled a bit.
Perhaps the archway hasn’t fallen down, but it’s certainly not going to last as long as the arch with all the bricks in place.
When you have multiple missing teeth, bone resorption occurs even faster, which causes the face to collapse. These changes can become so severe they make the person look many years older than they actually are.
An estimated 30 million American adults live with one or more missing teeth. (That’s one out of every four drivers on the road.)

Dr. Korenman of Loveable Smiles can help with dental implants.

The best way to replace missing teeth permanently is with dental implants.

The advancements in dental implants over the years are life changing. Simply stated, dental implants reconnect people with what they’ve lost. Youth. Self-esteem. Confidence. Function. Happiness. The joy of kissing!
Dental implants look natural, produce a beautiful smile, and allow you to eat, speak and function as you did when your mouth was healthy.
Only 12% of general dentists in the US place implants. 5% of those use the most updated form of technology.

Dr. Korenman has that technology.
He has invested in NewTom VG3 Dental CAT-scan which allows Dr. Korenman to view an anatomically accurate 3D image of your mouth. It provides the most comprehensive and accurate information required to determine your bone quantity and quality for possible dental implants. If teeth have been missing for some time he can see how much bone loss has occurred and determine what type of bone grafting may be needed.
With Dental CT scanning, implant procedures can be planned in detail before any surgery takes place. This means virtually no surprises when Dr. Korenman performs surgery.
With the advances in implant dentistry now available from Loveable Smiles, you can soon be eating what you want, when you want, and where you want. Your facial muscle tone will be restored.

You’ll put 20 years of life back in your smile. You’ll regain the self-confidence and quality of life you lost when you lost your teeth.
For those who may not have adequate bone strength for implants there are other options to replace missing teeth. The first step in learning your options is to have a complete examination.

Top 10 Benefits of Dental Implants

Having a healthy mouth can add 10 years to your life as Dr. Mayo of the Mayo Clinic has explained.

Here are the Top 10 Benefits for Choosing Dental Implants

An ideal option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.
Dental implants improve your appearance.
They are permanently fixed in the mouth; so you may brush your teeth once again without having to deal with the embarrassment of removing your teeth.
Allows you to return to the comfort and function associated with natural teeth.
Eating is no longer restricted to softer food items; you can chew freely.
Eating harder foods like apples poses no problem at all. Increased chewing ability means you can enjoy more fibrous and nutritious foods, contributing to your overall health and well-being.
Dental implants can be brushed and flossed just like regular teeth.
They help you speak without difficulty.
You no longer need to think twice before smiling.
With proper care, they can last a lifetime.

Missing Teeth & Bone Loss Will Age You

When teeth are lost the damage goes well below the surface of the gums.

The bone that once supported and surrounded the roots of those teeth starts to deteriorate painlessly.

When bone resorption occurs, it causes the face to collapse. These changes can become so severe they make the person look many years older than they actually are.

The more missing teeth, the quicker and more severe the bone loss. For those missing all or most of their natural teeth, bone loss can become so severe within just a few years it can become difficult to wear removable devices such as partials and dentures. There is simply little bone left to support them.

Dental Implants: A Solid & Permanent Foundation

It’s so vital to replace the tooth root with a dental implant which becomes integrated in the bone, and thus, preserves it.

The bone forms a bond to the implants which then function as natural tooth roots – providing a solid and permanent foundation for biting and chewing.

The implants have no sensation in your mouth, you do not notice their presence at all and your mouth feels very natural and comfortable.

Dr. Korenman of Loveable Smiles has invested in the advanced technology of a dental CAT-scan x-ray machine that provides 3-D information including whether there is enough bone for long-term function and stability, the location of nerves, and sinuses and helps determine if implants can be placed safely and predictably.
With the advances in implant dentistry now available from Loveable Smiles, you can soon be eating what you want, when you want and where you want.

Additionally:

Your facial muscle tone will be restored.
You’ll put 20 years of life back in your smile.
You’ll regain the self-confidence and quality of life you lost when you lost your teeth.
