\"shutterstock_152525732\"<\/a>Over the last decade, dental implants<\/a> have rapidly taken their rightful place at the apex of the restorative dentistry spectrum. This revolutionary solution has made it possible for countless men and women to regain the full function and aesthetic appeal of their smiles, replacing missing teeth in a way that looks and feels natural. At Horsham Dental Elements<\/a> in Philadelphia, PA and Horsham, PA<\/a>, Dr. Gary Henkel<\/a> performs dental implant <\/b>placement and restoration, giving his patients a new lease on life and inspiring renewed confidence. One of the restorative solutions we offer involves the use of implant-supported dentures<\/b>.<\/p>\n

How Can Implant-Supported Dentures Help Me?<\/b><\/p>\n

For many years, edentulous patients \u2013 or those who are missing all of their teeth \u2013 had essentially one option when it came to tooth replacement: dentures. These removable dental prosthetics effectively allowed the patient to eat a reasonably balanced diet, though many foods were restricted due to the insecure and unstable nature of the dentures themselves. Ill-fitting dentures often caused discomfort and embarrassment, particularly in social settings. Fortunately, dental implants <\/b>now make it possible to secure custom dentures within the mouth for improved functionality, allowing the patient to enjoy a smile that feels more like natural teeth than ever before.<\/p>\n

In order to set the stage for a strong, beautiful smile, Dr. Henkel<\/b> first surgically places biocompatible dental implants<\/b> into the bone of the jaw. These will serve as the secure anchors for the patient\u2019s dental restoration. Over time, the bone tissue that comprises the jaw fuses to the implants, a process known as osseointegration. The dentures that are attached to these implants are custom-made to look and feel like natural teeth. You\u2019ll love your new smile and all of the freedom that comes with it.<\/p>\n
