Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a type of overdenture that is anchored to the gums using implants, providing a comfortable and functional alternative for patients who have issues with uncomfortable or poorly fitting dentures. The procedure involves placing implants into the jawbone, which then fuse with the surrounding bone tissue. Attachments are placed on the underside of the denture to connect it to the implants, allowing the denture to securely snap onto the implants for stability and security.
What are the benefits of dentures supported by implants?
- Implant-supported dentures can increase confidence in social settings by removing worries about dentures slipping or coming loose while speaking, laughing, or eating in public.
- These dentures offer increased comfort by securely fitting and closely resembling natural teeth. They also reduce gum irritation, minimizing discomfort and canker sores commonly experienced with traditional dentures.
- Implant-supported dentures provide a more natural look than traditional dentures by using less plastic for retention. Additionally, they can help maintain your facial structure by preventing jaw shrinkage and bone loss in the long run.
- Wearing traditional dentures can make it hard for patients to speak clearly, causing slurred speech and clicking sounds. However, implant-supported dentures can enhance speech clarity and make speaking easier, allowing for a more natural voice.
- Implant-supported dentures also eliminate the necessity of denture adhesives!
