This two part article series presents some pretty disturbing facts about the toll removable dentures or false teeth take on your oral health and quality of life.
Dentures in Arizona have long been the solution to edentulism (not having a single original adult tooth left) and near-edentulism. Perhaps you consider dentures in Arizona to be the future of your oral health because your parents and your grandparents wore them. However, with the sophistication of modern dental implant procedures and their ability to treat edentulism, more and more people are opting for fixed oral rehabilitation, explains the Sun City dentist. And this is for a very good reason: the benefits and advantages of dental implants over dentures in Arizona are as numerous as they are diverse. If you currently wear dentures or are thinking about getting dentures in Arizona, then stop and consider the advantages of dental implants instead. Here are nine shocking facts about dentures; facts that will have you reconsidering your decision to consign yourself to a life of acute discomfort, endless challenges and repeat expenses.
Fact # 1: After a period of five years, only 40% of patients are still wearing their original dentures in Arizona. The other 60% have had to have broken, ill-fitting and functionally impaired dentures refitted or thrown away and replaced entirely. What does this say about utility and value? Not much, says the Sun City dentist.
Fact # 2: Half of all denture-wearers say that they actually eat better and more comfortably without their false teeth. This highlights massive problems with this archaic technology, says the Sun City dentist. Dentures in Arizona are supposed to help patients who don’t have any or most of their teeth to eat with a degree of comfort and confidence. Clearly the mark is being missed if 50% of edentulous patients would rather remove their teeth for mealtime!
Fact # 3: Dentures in Arizona (full and partials) do not support a healthy jaw bone. Instead of transmitting the stimulating forces associated with eating into the jaw bone, as is the case with natural teeth or dental implants, it gets directed into the gums underlying the denture. This not only causes irritation and inflammation of the soft tissue, as well as the development of sores, but it means that the jaw bone is going without the ‘exercise’ it needs to remain alive and healthy, explains the Sun City dentist. The result is atrophy and the loss of hard tissue in the bone. The remodeling of the jaw bone is what causes dentures in Arizona to become increasingly difficult to eat with over the years. It’s what necessitates refitting every few years or so and ultimately, makes any teeth replacement solution or treatment very difficult and even doubtful.
Fact # 4: A scientific study conducted on the effects of partial dentures in Arizona revealed that 40% of the natural healthy teeth used to support partials had been lost to fracture damage and decay after a period of 8 years. In other words, explains the Sun City dentist, getting partial dentures fitted can literally be the end of the road for your remaining teeth!
