Dentures

 

Dentures are a set of artificial teeth used when a patient has lost real teeth.  They allow better chewing abilities for patients missing teeth and greater aesthetic appeal by providing the illusion of natural teeth.

 

Why does Dr. Abenaim advise placing some implants even to those people who say they are happy with their dentures?

 

Dentures are a piece of plastic with plastic teeth. Whether you’re eating, something that’s soft or hard,  pressure is created on your gums and your bones which can ultimately cause the bone to disintegrate/resorb.

 

Over time denture wearers can lose enough bone to significantly increase the risk for jaw fractures (particularly on the lower jaw). It is for this reason that Dr. Abeniam always recommends implants stating: "if you have the bone, get the implants in there. Once the implants are in, the bone won’t go anywhere.”

 

Remember, Dental Implants not dentures are a permanent solution to tooth loss.  Dr. Jonathan B. Abenaim can help you decide which procedure is best for you.

 

At Dental Implants NewJersey you have three options:

 

 

Option 1 - A full denture restoration/repair

If you are happy with the use of your existing denture and with the way it looks, stay with dentures and when they have to be rebased and realigned then Dental Implants New Jersey with be happy to provide you with a full or partial restoration of patient denture.

 

But remember, existing dentures can now be stabilized in one simple, painless and affordable visit by:

 

 Option 2 - Mini Implants

Mini Implants are small screws that are placed below the gum line and into the bone, providing an instant anchor for full and partial dentures. The denture is often modified with rubber stops that slide over and lock on the protruding heads of the implants. With Mini Implants the denture can easily be taken in and out for cleaning but stays in place securely for as long as necessary.

 

Dental Implants New Jersey is now offering new hope to patients frustrated with dentures.

 

Mini Implants, an exciting new procedure, will secure existing dentures without the use of messy adhesives. The typical Mini Implant procedure can be completed in a single, virtually pain-free visit, with the patient eating happily like never before within several hours.

 

The best part is Mini Implants cost a fraction of traditional implants.

 

Mini Implants are the perfect option for patients with dentures who do not want to go through the expense required for traditional implants.

 

Even patients with some bone loss can benefit from Mini Implants. In one simple procedure we can eliminate all of the discomfort of dentures, like the need for messy adhesives and constant adjustments.

 

Also, frequently, the palate of the upper denture can be removed, thus allowing the patient to taste food naturally again.

 

 

Option 3 - Traditional Implants

 

What are Dental Implants and why come to Dr. Jonathan Abenaim of Dental Implants New Jersey?

 

 A dental implant is an artificial tooth implanted into the jaw bone. It is generally made of titanium and covered with a porcelain crown or a bridge to give the appearance of real teeth.

 

Implants are very durable and will last many years. Dental implants can restore almost any smile even if natural teeth have been lost.

 

The success rate for implants is remarkable: 98% for lower implants and 91% for upper implants. Some people have remarkably higher success stories.

 

Many people who consider implants have removable, conventional dentures for lower and upper jaws, or have removable bridges. These people experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.

 

The Dental Implant Procedure

 

The implant team usually includes either a periodontist or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who implants the posts into the patient’s mouth, and a prosthodontist who designs and fits the replacement teeth or permanent bridge.  Dr Jonathan Abenaim however has the training and experience to do both these procedures thereby saving you time, money and further distress by even remaining in the very chair you started in.

 

At the first appointment, we use an X-ray to determine if the jaw bone is adequate to hold the titanium posts. Models of the mouth are often made using a soft, pliable plastic compound.

 

Treatment with dental implants is complicated and involves detailed planning for best results.   Dr Abeniam has a proven record and his education in this field is second to none.

 

Seeking to further his education in Implant Dentistry, Dr. Abenaim attended an Advanced Implant Prosthodontic Residency at Nova Southeastern University which improved his skills in treatment planning, implant dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation.

 

He then improved his knowledge and skills in Oral Implantology in one of the oldest continuing education residency programs in the country at the Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic in Palm Beach Florida under the guidance of world renowned implantologists.

 

Since then he has continued to pursue his interest in dental implants becoming a board-certified implantologist and Diplomate of The International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).

 

Today the implants being placed often only require one surgical procedure using a local anesthetic and sedative and the actual crown can sometimes be positioned in as short a time as 30 minutes.

 

When you come to the specialized offices of Dental Implants NewJersey – Dr. Abenaim himself works the final part of the implant procedure as well – placing the crowns onto the posts.
