Implant Dentures Aurora

A Better Kind of Denture

When you need to replace all your teeth, it can be hard to pick the right option. While dental implants are your ideal solution, not everyone can afford them. That is one reason many patients pick dentures. At Sommers Family Dental, we provide dentures and work hard to make them both beautiful and efficient. However, before making a decision, we want to make sure you’re armed with all the information. This is why we also offer dental implant dentures in Aurora, IL.

Though a popular option, removable dentures have problems. They can be uncomfortable and slip out of place. Occasionally, they even fall out. Plus, even the best fitting dentures reduce your chewing efficiency by 50%. What most people don’t know is what happens to your jawbone. Once your teeth are removed, your body senses that the bone in your jaw is no longer needed and begins reabsorbing those minerals to use elsewhere in your body. This is called facial collapse. Eventually, after 10 or 20 years, you won’t have enough jawbone left to comfortably retain your dentures. This is something to consider before making your final decision.
