Are there alternatives to traditional dentures?

Though traditional dentures effectively restore your appearance, they may not fully restore function. For example, they can shift, slip or wobble when eating or speaking. Many people also develop sore gums from dentures. If you want to upgrade your dentures, ask your dentist about dental implants — threaded posts that replace missing teeth roots. Dental implants can be restored with crowns, bridges or dentures. Implant-supported dentures provide additional stability and reduce the risk of many oral health problems, including denture stomatitis.
