Dr. Bellem Provides Kansas City, Missouri Patients with Implant Supported Dentures
(PRBuzz.com) December 10, 2012 -- The older we get, the more our teeth become subject to disease, trauma, and everyday abuse that can all cause accidental tooth loss. Many patients find living with missing teeth to be cosmetically unappealing, but it also makes it difficult to maintain good oral hygiene and periodontal health. For many patients, dentures are a much better option, but it's an option that patients tend to feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about. Dr. Bellem helps Kansas City, Missouri patients restore their smiles and confidence, while changing the way they feel about dental prosthetics, with implant supported dentures. Implant supported dentures are a restorative option for patients that want a natural looking smile without the frustrations that are associated with conventional dentures. With mini dental implants, patients can have dentures that are securely held to the gum without the potential for slipping and shifting.
Mini dental implants prevent dentures from moving out of place and affecting speech, diet and security in smiling. Mini implants function like the root of a tooth, holding the dentures in place. Kansas City, Missouri patients that have received mini implants find that their dentures feel secure and they can smile confidently. With implant supported dentures, they can eat, drink, laugh and speak without the fear of their dentures slipping or falling out.
Dr. Bellem offers mini implants to patients that are unhappy with the idea of conventional dentures that rest upon the gum. Mini implants are great for patients that have thin or narrow jaw bones because mini implants are smaller than regular dental implants. This is great for patients that have experienced bone loss. With a minimally invasive procedure, patients can eat a wide variety of foods without having to deal with messy denture adhesives.
Mini implant procedures are quick and don't require extensive healing time. With implant supported dentures, Kansas City, Missouri patients can leave Dr. Bellem's office with a functional smile that is both secure and comfortable. If you are looking for a sturdy, affordable alternative to your dentures, Dr. Bellem can help you determine if you are a good candidate for implant supported dentures.
