You may have read or heard about dental implants and are wondering if they are right for you. You have some missing teeth, and already have a set of dentures. Your dentures might be driving you crazy with their sticky adhesives, tendency to slip, and your fears that you can’t bite into any food you want without the worry of wondering if your dentures will stay stuck in your food!  Dental implants offer you a permanent solution to all of these problems. Your Portland Maine implant dentist is specially trained to provide you with dental implants that will permanently replace your teeth, look just like real teeth, and function just like real teeth. How to find the best implant dentist in the Portland Maine area

• Check on the dental clinic location and facilities.  Call about accessibility and the particular hours of the dental clinic. Look online and read reviews written about the implant dentist from former patients.
• Interview dental clinic staff or patients.  You can call the dental clinic with your questions. Also, spend some time on the implant dentist’s website looking at before and after photos, and reading the testimonials of patients. You can learn a lot by spending a few minutes on an implant dentist’s website.
• Call and schedule a consultation. Ask your implant dentist any questions you may have about the dental implant procedure. Your implant dentist may have materials you can read, and before and after photos for you to view.

Dental implants over Dentures

Dental implants create a permanent replacement to missing teeth.  These teeth will let you throw your dentures away forever! Don’t worry about any pain, as your implant dentist can provide options in sedation dentistry to keep you calm and relaxed during the dental implant procedure.   There are also negative consequences of not replacing missing teeth. Your remaining teeth may become misaligned, collapse or crowd the other teeth.  Your jaw may also move and your facial structure actually changes, over time, when teeth are missing.

Partial dentures can loosen the remaining healthy teeth and this creates more tooth loss and bone loss. Bacteria can hide underneath ill-fitting dentures, and studies have shown that people who have poorly fitting dentures or suffer from tooth loss don’t live as long as those who replace the missing teeth

Call the dental office and check on insurance so you will have a good understanding of what is covered or not covered. Learn about the many financial options to pay for your implants. Dental implants feel and at like real teeth and provide a better solution to missing teeth than dentures. Contact your Portland Maine implant dentist for more information about dental implants today. Your smile is important to you, so don’t delay.
