Possible to Go from Full Dentures to Implants?

It is very common for people to hate dentures!  Implants are a great alternative, as they can replace the denture, or make the denture stay put.

There are many options with dental implants, so a consultation with your dentist is required.  He will make recommendations determined by your bone structure, budget and desired outcome.

It is possible to go from dentures to implants, provided that you have adequate bone for implantation, or bone can be grafted to make the sites adequate. Implant supported prostheses can improve your quality of life greatly. You'll be able to speak and eat like never before. There are many different options with implants, whether you will have something that snaps into the implants and is removable, or if you have a prosthesis that is screwed in by your dentist and is not removable by you. Your dentist can review the different options and their costs for your specific situation. Hope this helps!

Going to implants will change your life. You can have 3-4 implants placed in the bottom jaw and maybe another 3-4 in the upper jaw. The current dentures you have can be relieved and retrofit back over the implants. Your current dentures probably slip around your mouth like a "hockey puck". This will not happen with dental implants. You will be abel to chew anything, biting into corn on the cob, apples and chew steak off the bone. A truly life changing experience which will give you the function, comfort and look you are seeking.

You can absolutely get dental implants to replace you dentures.  A prosthesis retained by dental implants allows a less bulky prosthesis or replacement teeth. This will get rid of the "fullness" you write about. I have yet to meet a patient that does not like there dental implants better than a denture.  There are several different ways to restore your teeth on dental implants and all have different costs associated with them.  Have a consult with a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to discuss your options.  I am sure you will not be disappointed.  Not only will you look better, you will feel better

You are probably an ideal candidate for dental implants.  By placing 4 implants in each arch, you can have a set of natural looking teeth placed that attach directly to the implants.  No more difficulty eating or speaking or uncomfortable fullness in your mouth.  It can be a second chance at having teeth again.  I recommend having an evaluation done to determine if implants are an option for you.  It could dramatically change your quality of life.
