I think for the denture wearer, for the denture wearer who wears a lower denture. Who wears their lower denture in their pocket, because it's very difficult sometimes to keep a lower denture in. I think implants are the most incredible experience you can have. You can place 2 implants, maybe 4. You can snap a denture on and it's solid. And it doesn't wiggle around anymore, it's not going to fly out when you're talking, you have good support if you still want to have a denture. And this is better with the help of S&G Family Dentistry in Leawood, KS.
You can do a fixed option, where you put 4 implants in, and you can have it so it doesn't come out at all. What a great thing to have! To have real teeth back again. That's really great. I think one of the biggest benefits that I see a lot of times for people who are missing just one tooth. They lose a molar. To restore that, we would have to cut down 2 perfectly good teeth on either side to make a bridge. You can place an implant right down into the missing area, put a crown right on it and it's done. It acts like a real tooth. If you have a removable partial, you don't have to have one anymore. What a great thing, to not have to take something out of your mouth. I think that implants are a wonderful option in that sense.

We Offer Several Great Options For Your Dental Implants – The Choice Is Yours!
Based on your unique needs, we have several options available for you:
- Traditional dental implants are usually made of titanium and act as replacement tooth roots. After healing, the implant fuses with your jawbone to create a strong foundation for further restoration such as dental crowns, dental bridges, and dentures.
- Mini implants are very similar to traditional implants but are only about half the size. These are usually used when a patient doesn’t have enough jawbone for the implant to fuse with. If your jawbone is thin, we can also perform a bone graft in-office so your new implants will have enough bone to be secure.
- Implant-retained dentures give you a full arch of replacement teeth held in place by your new implants. The dentures are secured with a special ball and receptacle system that keep them firmly attached. Unlike traditional dentures, these will not slip or slide out of position, even when talking, eating, laughing, or singing.
