Tired of having your denture being loose, difficulty with eating or challenges with speaking then denture stabilization could be your solution?
Denture Stabilization
Denture stabilization is a process which calls for placing dental implants in your mouth so as to keep your dentures fixed in place.
Some patients attempt to overcome the problem with moving dentures by making use of denture adhesives.
Another major benefit of denture stabilization is that it serves to keep the jawbone intact, rather than having it withdraw or shrink.
DENTURE STABILIZATION IN OCOEE, FL
When you come to visit Dr. Maitri Patel at her Ocoee, FL dental clinic, for the purpose of having a denture stabilization performed, you’ll realize a number of benefits from the procedure.
Most patients experience a significant reduction of mouth sores and gum infections, because their dentures are not moving around so much and irritating the gum line.
Since your dentures are much more stationary, it contributes to better speech because you won’t have dentures slipping around inside your mouth to interfere when you’re talking.
After having dental implants placed, you will have a permanent solution for the missing teeth you have, and you can expect those implants to basically last the rest of your lifetime.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
As mentioned above, the dental denture stabilization process works by:
When titanium implants are placed in your jawbone, they begin fusing with the jawbone and eventually provide a very natural anchor for your dentures to be attached to.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What’s involved with denture stabilization?
A: The best way to stabilize your dentures is by installing a dental implant. This will anchor the dentures so they don’t slip around in your mouth and cause embarrassing speech problems, or difficulty when eating.
Q: What can I expect from denture stabilization?
A: You can expect better biting and chewing, clearer speech, better jawbone health, and reduced gum irritation.
Q: How long does the stabilization process take?
A: Assuming that you have a titanium anchor installed in your jawbone, it will take several months for this anchor to naturally fuse with your jawbone, and then the actual procedure can be performed.
Q: How do implants stabilize my dentures?
A: They act like artificial tooth roots, which bind the tooth in place and prevent your dentures from slipping or moving around inside your mouth.
Q: Is the stabilization process painful?
A: No, because your dentist will use some kind of anesthetic, either local or general, during the process, so you won’t feel any kind of discomfort.
Q: How is stabilization an improvement for my dentures?
A: Normally, your dentures just sit on top of the gums and have no underlying support. With stabilization, an actual support is introduced and provides the foundation for a much more secure set of dentures.
