Traditional dentures can be messy, inconvenient, and uncomfortable. They require extra cleaners, some type of adhesive, and can still even slip or slide out of place. Pieces of food can get lodged between the roof, or bottom, of the mouth and the denture, causing terrible pain. Slipping dentures can alter speech, and become embarrassing quickly. Dentures also have to be re-fitted every few years due to bone loss. Implanted Dentures in Kona are more comfortable and require less maintenance. Simple brushing is all that is needed once dentures are securely in place. They do not have to be removed; they will not slip or slide, and they do not require adhesives. Dentures that have been implanted can save patients time and money long-term.
There are a few things to keep in mind regarding Dentures in Kona that are implanted. The dentist, such as Carter S. Yokoyama D.D.S., for example, has to do a preliminary examination of the jaw and gums to make sure they are healthy enough to support an implant. Once that has been determined, there are a couple of steps that take place. The process is not an instant one. Oral surgery is completed to place the implant into the jaw. Time to completely heal from that procedure is necessary before the restorative dentures can be placed onto the implant. Once the dentures are in place, there is very little else that has to be done. Implants originally incur a higher cost than traditional dentures, but that cost is offset by the savings in cleaners, adhesives, and periodic re-fitting of the dentures over time.
