Your jawbone literally shrinks in size and loses density, and your gums wither. You start looking sunken-faced and pointy-chinned, and your dentures, well, you\u2019re not even sure they\u2019re your dentures anymore; they seem to belong to someone with a much bigger face.<\/p>\n<p>All that can change when you use dental implants to stabilise your dentures. In Richmond, at <strong>Sheen Dental Implants<\/strong>, denture stabilisation is a pretty popular choice. Many of our denture-wearing patients see denture stabilisation as a great halfway point between investing a lot of money in loads of dental implants, and putting up with the hassle and inconvenience that can come from wearing full or partial dentures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do dental implants work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dental implants anchor your teeth into the jawbone, just like tooth roots do with your natural teeth. We have this great technique that uses mini dental implants, which we can insert directly into your jawbone through your gum. We can then attach special fittings that we can fit your dentures to. We can do this in a day, and you can leave with new teeth securely in place.<\/p>\n<p>Your new implants will now stimulate your jawbone cells to regrow, helping you to keep your facial structure intact and healthy-looking.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about how dental implants can transform your <strong>dentures in Richmond<\/strong>, come in for a consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you first get dentures in Richmond, they tend to start off gripping your gums very firmly.
