Ball Attachment Dentures
At Lawrence Dentistry, we understand the importance of providing our patients with the best possible solutions for their dental needs. That's why we offer high-quality ball attachment dentures, a superior option for those in need of dentures. Our experienced team of dentists is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction.
What are Ball Attachment Dentures?
Ball attachment dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures, are a modern alternative to traditional removable dentures. This innovative solution combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures, providing patients with a more secure and natural-feeling tooth replacement option.
Unlike traditional dentures that rely on adhesives or suction to stay in place, ball attachment dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. The implants act as sturdy anchors, allowing the dentures to securely snap into place. This eliminates the need for messy adhesives and offers a more reliable and comfortable fit.
The Benefits of Ball Attachment Dentures
There are several benefits to choosing ball attachment dentures as your tooth replacement option:
- Improved Stability: With the dental implants acting as anchors, ball attachment dentures provide superior stability compared to traditional removable dentures. This allows you to speak, eat, and smile with confidence, without worrying about your dentures shifting or slipping.
- Enhanced Function: Ball attachment dentures offer improved biting and chewing efficiency, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restriction. The secure fit of the dentures ensures that they stay in place during regular activities, giving you a more natural biting and chewing experience.
- Preserved Jawbone: Dental implants used in ball attachment dentures integrate with the jawbone, promoting bone preservation and preventing bone loss. This helps maintain facial structure and prevents the appearance of a sunken-in facial profile often associated with tooth loss.
- Increased Comfort: The stability and secure fit of ball attachment dentures result in increased comfort compared to traditional dentures. The absence of adhesives eliminates potential gum irritation and discomfort, allowing you to wear your dentures with ease.
- Long-Term Solution: Ball attachment dentures are designed to be a long-lasting tooth replacement option. With proper care and maintenance, they can provide you with years of functional and aesthetic benefits, making them a wise investment in your oral health.
The Procedure
The process of getting ball attachment dentures typically involves several stages:
Consultation and Examination
During your initial consultation, our experienced dentist will evaluate your oral health and assess your suitability for ball attachment dentures. This may involve taking x-rays, impressions, or conducting other necessary tests to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Implant Placement
If you are a suitable candidate for ball attachment dentures, our skilled dentist will surgically place the dental implants into your jawbone. The number of implants required will depend on your specific case and the level of support needed to secure the dentures.
Healing and Osseointegration
After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to fuse with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. This integration provides a stable foundation for the dentures and ensures their long-term success.
Denture Fabrication
Once the healing process is complete, impressions of your mouth will be taken to create custom dentures that perfectly fit your oral structures. Our team of dental professionals will pay close attention to aesthetics, ensuring your dentures look natural and complement your facial features.
Attachment and Adjustment
Finally, the ball attachments on the dentures will be precisely aligned with the dental implants, allowing them to snap securely into place. Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal function of your new dentures.
