Implant Supported Dentures
For patients missing a majority of their teeth, implant-supported dentures are commonly used. Implant-supported dentures are dentures that are secured in place using implants in the jaw.
They are often used when a patient no longer has teeth remaining in their mouth but enough bone in their jaw to support implants. Implant-supported dentures snap into place on top of implants but can be removed for cleaning.
Implant-supported dentures provide a number of benefits and are a great improvement from traditional removable dentures. They do not require any adhesives or powders to help the dentures stick and are very secure and comfortable, significantly improving the ability to chew. Because they preserve bone in the jaw and restore lip-support, implant-supported dentures also help maintain facial structures and minimize wrinkles.
Why Choose Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures provide several benefits compared to traditional dentures, improving both function and aesthetics.
- Stable and Secure Fit: Implant dentures are firmly anchored to dental implants, offering superior stability compared to traditional options.
- Natural-Looking Results: Designed to match your natural teeth, implant dentures deliver a realistic and visually appealing smile.
- Supports Oral Health: Dental implants help maintain jawbone density, preventing bone loss and supporting your facial structure.
- Greater Comfort: Say goodbye to slipping and irritation—implant dentures stay in place, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Simple Maintenance: Just like natural teeth, implant dentures can be cleaned with regular brushing and flossing.
