How to Transition from Dentures to Dental Implants

Dentures are prosthetic devices that are used to replace missing teeth and can be made from a variety of materials, including resin, nylon, acrylic, porcelain, and metal. Though they are a good alternative to living life with gaps in your grin, dentures are also notorious for slipping when people, eat, speak, and laugh. This leads some patients to want to switch to dental implants. These titanium posts are inserted directly into the jawbone and fuse with it through a process called osseointegration. Though they are incredibly durable and can last a lifetime with proper care, it can be difficult to transition from dentures to dental implants. Read on for some tips that will make it easier to make the switch.
